Advanced Optronics
Delivering The future of Sensor-Enabled Surgical Tools
Our micro-scale sensors enable real-time AI guidance for surgeons to increase their success rates and reduce expensive complications in delicate procedures, starting with cochlear implantation.
We Build Smart Sensors for Surgical Tools
FlexDetect
Bending and sensing in tiny spaces
Our ultra-thin, biocompatible sensors detect minute flexing and strain in surgical instruments. Equipping surgeons with precise data where only intuition was used before.
Monitoring critical moments, preventing errors
Our surgical platform interprets real-time sensor data to warn surgeons of potential complications.
Each platform is custom tailored for the surgery, surgically assisted tool, and procedure
- Real-time and continuous feedback
- Alerts and warnings
- Web or tablet interfaces
- Sensor readouts
- Detailed reports and logs
Why We're Different
Assisting Cochlear Implant Surgery
An advance in available data for highly sensitive surgery done previously by feel alone.
Our technology currently assists surgeons in their management of electrode arrays insertion into the delicate cochlea.
Why We're Different
The Big Picture
By monitoring surgical instruments with superhuman accuracy, we provide real-time preventative alerts to help avoid complications.
Our technology augments surgeon perception during delicate procedures to provide patients everywhere with the best possible care.
The system will aid cochlear implantation before expanding to additional procedures.
Who We Are
Determined To Innovate
A multi-disciplinary team originating from Carnegie Mellon University with engineering and clinical backgrounds. We came together to develop the future of sensor systems for surgical instruments.
