Current Surgical

The next breakthrough isn’t another drug,
it’s surgery.

Surgery is the most effective tool we have to treat, and cure, cancer and other serious conditions. While millions of people undergo surgery each year with a market size greater than $3 trillion in the United States alone, surgical innovation remains trapped in yesterday’s technology.

We are reinventing surgery for the modern era.

See precisely.
Cure precisely.

A new focused ultrasound technology stack gives surgeons millimeter-level control for precision treatment of malignant tissue.

AI + Ultrasound =
Digital Surgery

AI-driven algorithms process real-time imaging data, enhancing surgeon precision and confidence during even the most complex procedures, making this the first true digital surgery platform.

Automated Surgery =
Better Outcomes

Closed-loop control gives every surgeon the consistency, finesse, and repeatability of a master—improving outcomes, reducing risk, and minimizing human error in high-stakes procedures.

Smart Platform =
More Treatments

Real-time visualization, precision focused ultrasound, and AI-enabled control allow treatment of tumors, chronic pain, heart failure, and hypertension—while each case trains the system for the next.

Backed by elite investors & institutions

One platform. Multiple markets.

We're building the foundational platform for the next generation of minimally invasive surgery.

Our surgical platform combines real-time imaging with precise energy delivery—unlocking applications far beyond our initial oncology focus.

Starting with solid tumor ablation, our platform's unique ability to simultaneously visualize and treat tissue positions us to rapidly expand into cardiac arrhythmias, hypertension, chronic pain, epilepsy, and other neural interventions. Each represents a multi-billion dollar surgical market where precision and real-time feedback are critical—and currently unavailable.
