AlgoSurg ®  

(Y-Combinator W-18)

What we do

Since 2018, AlgoSurg team has been developing algorithms for 3D simulation of orthopedic surgeries, for various applications ranging from cloud-based 3D surgery planning, automatic patient-specific instrument/implant design, AR-based surgical training and surgical-robotics/AR-based-navigation.
Here are some of our projects.

AI-based CT+MRI merging and 3D reconstruction for Tumor-Bone surgery planning Merging MRI with CT using AI can provide amazing advantages for 3D planning of a Tumor-Bone surgeries. This software uses AI-tools to register CT with MRI so that a surgeon can visualize bone and tumor in 3D together and plan optimal bone cuts. The software also automatically designs cutting-jigs to make accurate bone resections.
	Surgery Robotics: Integrating XrayTo3D+CTto3D+Tabplan3D In this project, AlgoSurg is integrating its range of Surgical Simulation Technologies with a Surgical-Robot hardware being built by a multi-national medical-device company (confidential), for various kinds of orthopedic surgeries starting from Robotic Knee-Replacement. AlgoSurg is building custom surgery planning software to be integrated with the robot. The software will use the AlgoSurg's patented algorithms in the backend.
Tabplan3D: Cloud-based 3D surgery simulation Tabplan3D is the worlds first web-software where surgeon can plan an orthopedic surgeries like complex deformity corrections, HTOs, DFOs, TKR and THR, in 3D view. The 3D bone model is created using either X-ray or CT and the current focus is on Knee and Hip anatomies. Future work will involve application of VR/AR technologies and inclusion of other anatomies.
	X3DPSI: Xray-based auto Patient-Specific-Instrument X3DPSI is XrayTo3D and CTto3D based automatic Patient Specific Instrumentation (PSI) design technology. The PSIs are 3D printed and used for accurate implant positiong HTO, DFO, TKR or THR surgeries. X3DPSI is a very efficient and cost effective because of its automation, time-saving and option to use plain X-rays as input. This technology is integrated with the Tabplan3D's 3D surgery planning of TKR and Deformity corrections (HTO/DFO).
OpenSurgiSim: Cloud-based AR enabled surgery training OpenSurgiSim was funded by Intuitive Foundation (foundation of Intuitive Surgicals), to build surgery training module for orthopedic surgeons of low and middle income countreies. It uses cloud-based technologies, 3D simulation and Augmented-reality. The goal is to improve and standardise surgical performance and patient outcome for every surgeon in the world.
	Deftfix: Cloud-based surgery planner for Hexapod Fixator DeftFix is a US-FDA approved cloud-software where surgeon can create accurate schedule for Hexapod fixator implant, anywhere and anytime in minutes. Compared to all other stand-alone software in the market, DEFTFIX gives great flexibility to surgeons in terms of choice of computing device, time to create schedule, saving and re-accessing of patient cases easily and efficiently.
Cloud-based surgery planner for Trauma surgeries A cloud-software for surgeons to plan trauma surgeries with bone plate or internal-nail fixation within 2 minutes. The software helps surgeon to pre-operatively select only required implant of required sizes (as planned in the software) which makes surgeries faster, seamless and safe. For implant manufacturers, this will reduce the cost of sterilisation and transport as they will not need to send all the implant sizes to the operation theatre (which is currently done).
	XrayTo3D: 2D X-ray to 3D bone XrayTo3D is a machine-learing algorithm which generates 3D models of bones using just two 2D plain X-ray images. Compared to CT based 3D, XrayTo3D is cost-effective, faster and uses easily available resource (plain X-ray). We have developed and proven this technology for lower-limb bones and soon implement the same for other bone anatomies.
TabScan3D: Phone-based 3D scanning and auto-design Splint TabScan3D is a cloud-software for android , iOS and desktop devices to 3D scan hand or foot anatomy and auto-design its corresponding 3D-printable brace/splint design within minutes. The entire process is automated and requires only a 15 second video around the anatomy. This means, no need of any investment on a professional 3D-scanner, costly computing equipment, any complex CAD tools or manual 3D-modeling.
