The Medivis office in the Flatiron District, New York City

About

We are Medivis.

Founded in 2016 by physicians and engineers in New York City, we are making augmented reality and artificial intelligence the standard of surgical care: the plan built on the patient's own imaging, then carried into the operating room and placed on the patient, in the surgeon's view.

    Advance healthcare with AR + AI.

    At Medivis, we are committed to keeping healthcare at the forefront of the AI revolution, leveraging our innovative technology to advance the standard of care. We empower, not replace, clinicians, using AI to enhance confidence, precision, and trust through AR-enabled surgery.

    We empower surgeons with real-time information for precise decision-making and reduced operative time. With superior and considered ergonomics, our augmented reality technology creates a highly flexible and personalized experience for surgeons and clinicians.

  3. 03

    Accelerate institutional innovation.

    Enhanced surgical precision and better patient outcomes drive efficiency, scalability, and reimbursement opportunities. Our platform enables immersive training and innovative surgical approaches, helping hospitals lead in medical advancement and reinforce institutional excellence.

  4. 04

    Improve patients' lives.

    Reduced complications, increased trust. At Medivis, we strive to enhance patient outcomes with precise, personalized surgical navigation and reduced radiation exposure. Our commitment to patient education fosters greater comfort and understanding, empowering patients like never before.
