Surgical team in the operating room

Real-time intraoperative digital histology
for faster, more informed surgical decisions.

About

Built to reduce uncertainty when surgical decisions matter most.

Our mission is to improve surgical precision by addressing incomplete tumor removal, a persistent challenge that affects patient outcomes and quality of life. We believe fast intraoperative histology can give surgeons valuable tissue-level information that improves decision-making inside existing workflows.

1 in 8

people worldwide will undergo tumor removal surgery during their lifetime.

Up to 30%

of tumor surgeries are incomplete.

2x

higher risk of recurrence when surgery is incomplete.
