The Meaning of Ziteo
It is pronounced zeh-TAY-o and is a transliteration of a Greek verb (ζητέω) meaning “seeking in order to find out”.
Our Story
Ziteo Medical was born from a personal health scare that revealed significant gaps in the detection of cancer. The founders of Ziteo, Lucian Mihailescu and Lucile Dauffy, recognized the urgent need for advancements in diagnostic imaging. Leveraging Lucian’s expertise in high-resolution imaging systems and Lucile’s background in medical physics, they founded Ziteo, Inc. to address gaps in the management of cancer and other diseases. In founding and growing Ziteo, they were as committed to developing relevant products that make a real difference as they were to cultivating a vibrant work culture. They envisioned a workplace where every team member has the opportunity to grow, contribute meaningfully, and fully enjoy their experience.
The Team
The Ziteo team brings together inventors, dreamers, and doers. We believe in the power of technology to save lives. We are working to improve the health of millions of people around the world.

When I first learned about Ziteo, I soon came to realize that their project had highly complex problems to solve involving both hardware and software. The scope of the company is for a great cause too – a novel imaging system to assist with cancer detection and treatment. A cancer diagnosis nowadays is extremely common. The majority of us have a friend or a family member diagnosed or undergoing treatment for cancer, myself included. Working closely with the Ziteo team, I have come to realize how talented and knowledgeable everyone is. It really has led me to believe that there are infinite possibilities within this company. I look forward to testing the boundaries and attempting to solve these complex problems.

Playing a role in something that has the potential to affect millions of lives is what drove me to join the Ziteo team. Aside from the promise of early cancer detection, I was particularly drawn to the commitment to wide accessibility and affordability of the Ziteo system. Cancer impacts people across all socioeconomic levels, and I believe a person’s chances of surviving this disease should not be contingent on their financial status. I’m honored and look forward to working alongside such a talented group of individuals.

I feel grateful to have the opportunity to collaborate with talented individuals who are pushing the boundaries of medical imaging. As a former roboticist and now an algorithm scientist, my interest in human anatomy has always been a driving force in my career. I am excited to bring my skills and passion to the team and make a meaningful impact on the organization. Personal experiences, such as loved ones being affected by cancer, have further fueled my desire to use my expertise in medical imaging to make a positive impact on public health and improve the lives of those affected by this disease.

Advances in medical imaging have revolutionized diagnostic medicine, and today’s movement towards improving patient access poses challenges that have intrigued me since my grad school days. Ziteo is tackling the access problem from a versatility perspective, proposing a best-in-class solution that will be suitable for various applications. Ziteo will deliver on this dream because Ziteo has the recipe for success: a game-changing idea, a tremendous team, and a strong support structure. It is an exciting time to be in the medical devices industry, and I am honored to play my part as a member of the Ziteo team.

Early disease detection is crucial, especially with the number of late-stage patients increasing. Advancing medical imaging for early disease detection is pivotal, so less patients encounter this unfortunate situation. As a computer engineer with a background in AI research toward medical imaging for disease diagnosis, I am excited to be working with many brilliant people at Ziteo to create an innovative device which assists doctors in detecting patients’ diseases early.

Early cancer detection is important to me because I have lost friends and family members to cancer. I want to be a part of something that will make a positive difference for cancer patients.
Kyle Champley
I became exposed to medical imaging in a college math class when I was twenty-one. The process of image formation seemed magical and mysterious. I have spent my entire career devoted to the subject. Working at Ziteo is so much more than scientific curiosity- we are working on a technology that has the potential to positively impact the lives of those inflicted by cancer.Lauren Mathis

When I first learned about Ziteo Medical I realized that I can be part of something amazing and meaningful. Someone once said: “It is impossible to have a great life unless it is a meaningful life. And it is very difficult to have a meaningful life without meaningful work”. I believe one of the purposes in this life is to help others. With early cancer detection, Ziteo could affect the lives of many people and I want to be a part of it.
