Activ Surgical

Activ Surgical is a digital surgery company based in Boston, Massachusetts, founded in 2017. The company focuses on enhancing minimally invasive surgical systems through its hardware-agnostic surgical software. Its mission is to reduce unintended surgical complications by providing real-time, intelligent visual data that aids surgeons in decision-making and improves patient safety. The core technology platform, ActiveEdge™, integrates augmented reality, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and computer vision to deliver enhanced visualization capabilities in the operating room. Activ Surgical's first product, ActivINSIGHT, works with existing surgical visualization systems to provide dynamic visual overlays, eliminating the need for fluorescent dyes traditionally used to visualize blood flow. This innovation aims to improve surgical outcomes and reduce healthcare costs. Led by experienced professionals, including Founder Dr. Peter Kim, Activ Surgical has achieved significant milestones, such as completing the world’s first autonomous robotic soft tissue surgery in 2018. The company has raised over $87 million in funding to advance its technology and expand its market reach.
