Year
2015 to 2017

I co-founded Medivis in 2015 to improve surgical visualization with augmented reality and AI. As CTO I designed and built the core technology behind its two products, SurgicalAR and AnatomyX, led technical hiring, and worked with medical centers around the US to test and trial it.

We started from a $10,000 investment from the National Science Foundation and Blackstone. I sold my stake and left in 2017. Medivis has since become an FDA-approved computer-assisted surgical system.

AnatomyX

AnatomyX is full-body 3D anatomy education in augmented reality. I prototyped and built it, and it went on to be used by students and educators, including at Yale School of Medicine.

Research

Our studies with the American Society of Neuroradiology were the first reported at a major medical meeting on mixed reality in neurosurgical planning.
