About Us
In 1998, Dr. Brent Snow, M.D., the Chief of Pediatric Urology at Primary Children’s Hospital at the University of Utah, envisioned developing a safer and less traumatic process to diagnose pediatric VUR. In 2001, Dr. Snow and Doug Turnquist, an experienced executive with more than 20 years experience commercializing new ventures, began collaborating on the commercial viability of this unique concept. In early 2007, Snow and Turnquist founded Thermimage, Inc.
While in the process of commercializing this non-invasive solution to the problem of diagnosing VUR in children, Thermimage’s research team found that the innovations discovered in its initial development could be utilized in many new and varying areas of medicine. Expertise and IP has now been developed in deep tissue noninvasive temperature detection. This platform technology now allows Thermimage to leverage its research and development investment into several clinical products subsequently quadrupling the potential market for the Company’s products. An initial product utilizing this technology is on track for market launch in 2012.
