Spectral AI Inc (NASDAQ: MDAI) is a medical technology company that develops AI-enabled predictive wound imaging systems for burn wound assessment. Revenue comes from U.S. government contracts and grants, primarily a BARDA contract with fixed reimbursement rates and milestone-based awards from the Defense Health Agency and the Medical Technology Enterprise Consortium. The company has no commercial product revenue as of the FY2025 10-K filed March 25, 2026. Its two core products are the DeepView System, a multispectral imaging platform that uses AI algorithms to produce a binary healing versus non-healing assessment of burn wounds, and the DeepView SnapShot M, a handheld portable version developed for military and emergency use. Manufacturing is outsourced to Cobalt Product Solutions in Plano, Texas. The planned commercial revenue model combines a SaaS software licensing fee covering maintenance, image hosting, and algorithm updates, plus a separate charge for the proprietary imaging device hardware. At December 31, 2025, the company had 65 full-time employees in the United States and the United Kingdom.
