The Tough Tech problem we are solving

Performing technically complex interventional procedures presents significant challenges, particularly in ensuring safety, speed, and accuracy. A critical issue is the reliance on human interpretation of ultrasound images, a skill that requires extensive training and experience. Even among trained professionals, accurately guiding needles based on these interpretations demands repetitive practice to achieve proficiency. This dependency on human skill can lead to variability in outcomes, increased procedure times, and a higher risk of complications. Consequently, there's a pressing need for solutions that can standardize and streamline these procedures, reducing reliance on individual expertise and enhancing overall patient care.

About our solution

With minimal training, our platform enables safe, rapid, accurate, and highly specialized interventional care when and where it is needed most. The embedded AI interprets ultrasound images, provides user instructions, and controls the robotic action of the handheld device. Highly complex procedures can be simplified and executed with robotic precision in less than 30 seconds.
