What DIAGENS does

Hangzhou Diagens Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (DIAGENS) is a Chinese medical-imaging AI company that develops, manufactures, and commercializes in-vitro diagnostic devices and laboratory automation systems centered on chromosome karyotype analysis. Its proprietary iMedImage® foundation model powers the AI AutoVision® Chromosome Karyotype Assisted Diagnosis System — the world's first product of its kind to receive a Class III Medical Device Registration Certificate from China's NMPA — alongside a hardware and consumables portfolio that includes AutoVision®, MetaSight® automatic cell microscopic image scanners, and the KayoFlow® line of cytogenetics laboratory automation (cell harvester, slide preparation and staining systems, integrated workflow).

The platform is commercialized through a B2B enterprise model with three revenue streams: (1) hardware and reagent sales of AI-powered medical devices to hospital cytogenetics laboratories, fertility clinics, and reproductive-health providers in China, where Diagens holds 30.6% market share in the chromosome karyotype analysis market per Frost & Sullivan; (2) technology licensing of the iMedImage® foundation model to other healthcare-technology players, which grew 331.7% year-over-year to RMB 84.3 million in 2025; and (3) the iMed MaaS Medical Imaging AI Platform, a model-as-a-service offering with on-premise storage, computation, training and inference infrastructure for hospitals. The company employs 51–100 people, is headquartered in Hangzhou, and listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in March 2026, positioning it as the world's first publicly listed company offering AI tools built on a medical imaging foundation model.
