We develop technology to make minimally-invasive surgeries more efficient and effective

We develop medical device software that makes planning for surgeries simpler, faster and more accurate. It enables surgeons to unlock and visualise crucial information in preparation for surgery, to see what is happening inside blood vessels, travel through tissues and bones and provides unprecedented visibility for keyhole surgeries. With the combined power of predictive computations, big data and AI, we provide a unique solution for rehearsing procedures and choosing the best surgical scenario for each individual patient in advance. Better preparation means reduced complication rates and associated costs, as well as better patient care.
