Smart implants
As the largest independent smart implant development firm, we develop highly novel implant systems, closed-loop control therapy, and digital ecosystems to enable a new generation of smart implants to address the most challenging disease states.
Surgical robotics and advanced visualisation
Robotic, endoscopic, and laparoscopic systems are expanding into exciting new clinical applications, enabling procedure innovation for minimally invasive surgery.
Digital surgery
Digital Surgery holds the promise to dramatically improve the standard of operative care for patients worldwide. We architect and integrate complex device platforms, sensing, AI/ML, predictive analytics, and usability to deliver clinical, procedure, and workflow insights across the entire care pathway.
Critical care
Critical care medicine can benefit from high value digital ecosystems to streamline care, reduce provider burden, and improve patient outcomes. We accelerate integration of break-through sensing technology, AI, algorithms, and connectivity into critical care devices and platforms.
We have deep experience developing medical devices across a range of clinical applications.
We can help you achieve the impossible

Unconventional outlook: medtech innovation in 2023
2022 was a rollercoaster year for medtech innovation, with a dramatic slow-down of venture funding, multi-national corporations (MNCs) hitting inflationary, recessionary, and geo-political headwinds, new emerging technologies, and the sprinkling of game-changing M&A. Rahul Sathe shares his predictions on medtech’s innovation outlook for 2023.

Why the world needs digitally-connected medicine, starting right now
Dr Ashwini Sharan and Cambridge Consultants recently provoked debate with the release of a visionary film, ‘A day in the life of a Parkinson’s patient in 2030’, which imagined seamless therapy enabled by smart implants, surgical robotics, digital connectivity and AI. Here, Ash explains why his ambitions for the future of medicine are not just blue-sky thinking but a rallying cry for the healthcare world…

Tech, tools & facilities
Digital operating room
Our Digital Operating Room is a unique innovation lab enabling clients and surgeons to collaborate with our R&D teams on transforming the future of surgery. This innovation space accelerates the development of digital surgery platforms, like next-generation surgical robots and visualization systems, as well as smart implants, and critical care systems. Clients use our Digital Operating Room for strategy and visioning workshops, human factors formative research, concept brainstorming, prototype development, and verification testing of complex digital surgery platforms.
Human factors lab
Our Human Factors Workshop is a hub for user-centered design. Our team can meet a variety of client and project needs in this highly adaptable space, such as creating a comfortable home environment for a patient, hosting large client teams for observation of a simulated surgery or discussing strategic product visions with a panel of stakeholders. With this in-house capability, we conduct user research and obtain product feedback quickly and effectively, keeping users at the forefront of design.
Anechoic test chamber
Our custom anechoic radio and antenna test chamber is a highly sophisticated 5m cube. Inside, we carry out automated three-dimensional measurement and visualization of wireless device behavior and test body-worn technology using body phantoms or real live test subjects. This helps us to understand and optimize real-word RF performance of products such as smart implants (including implanted telemetry), connected drug delivery devices and wearables.
Optics labs
Our suite optics labs enable us to build complex and high-precision optical layouts, typically for testing prototype designs and novel techniques prior to deployment. Featuring six high-spec optical benches with configurable interlocked controlled areas for high-power (class 4) laser work and specialist facilities for interferometry, spectroscopy, low-noise fluorescence imaging and photon counting. This space can be split into separate laser-controlled areas, allowing multiple experiments to run simultaneously, giving our optical engineers the capability to develop creative solutions without instrumentation restrictions.
