Lucid Diagnostics also provides central laboratory testing, support for office-based cell collection, mobile screening services, and insurance billing assistance. The company primarily targets patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), also known as chronic heartburn, who are at an elevated risk of developing esophageal precancer and cancer.
Lucid Diagnostics is a commercial-stage company led by Chairman and CEO Dr. Lishan Aklog. As a subsidiary of PAVmed Inc.

Recent notable developments include the closing of an $18 million underwritten offering of common stock in April 2026 and being awarded a U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) contract in January 2026 for its EsoGuard test, which expands access to over 9 million veterans. The company also reported positive data in December 2025 from the largest real-world experience of esophageal precancer detection, further solidifying its market positioning in early cancer detection.
