Medivis, a medical technology company headquartered in New York City, has announced a successful $20 million Series A funding round , with a mission to set a new standard in the surgical field. based on augmented reality (AR) technology and artificial intelligence (AI).
The funding round was led by Thrive Capital, with participation from Initialized Capital and Mayo Clinic. Other investors include Bob Iger, Kevin Durant, Dr. Robert Spetzler, Hugo Barra and Coalition Operators.
Medivis has partnered with the nation’s leading medical centers including MD Anderson Cancer Center, Providence Health, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Northwell Health and Cincinnati Children’s Hospital .
The company also announced an expanded partnership with Veterans Health Administration , the nation’s largest integrated health system. Funds raised will be used to scale up the technology, seek regulatory approval and global commercialization in multiple specialties including neurosurgery, orthopedic surgery, diagnostic imaging and reconstructive surgery.
Medivis is revolutionizing surgical care using augmented reality (AR) and computer vision technology.
Realistic 3D images
Medivis uses AI algorithms to create realistic 3D images of patient anatomy from medical imaging data such as CT scans and MRIs. This creates a “digital hologram” of the patient that the surgeon can see in clear detail during surgery.
Leading surgery with augmented reality
Holographic 3D images are displayed directly onto the patient’s body using Microsoft HoloLens 2, providing augmented reality images of their internal anatomy. · Advanced computer vision tracks surgical instruments in 3D space with millimeter precision to accurately guide and align the hologram with the patient.
Optimize clinical processes
Medivis’ platform integrates AR imaging into real-life clinical workflows in the fields of neurosurgery, orthopedics, ENT, radiology and other interventional departments. It enables seamless planning, enhances accuracy, reduces surgical time and improves patient outcomes compared to traditional surgical navigation aids.
In short, Medivis’ augmented virtual reality surgical technology will help make operations more precise, optimize procedures more effectively and bring better treatment results, opening up a new future for the medical industry.
