Cydar

About us:

Cydar Medical innovates in the healthcare software space. We connect live images from the hospital operating rooms to the power of cloud computing. Our software guides physicians during complex endovascular procedures, which results in better outcomes for patients. Our product, Cydar EV, is used in innovative hospitals across Europe and United States, providing us with a stream of data, which we use to constantly improve our algorithms. Our solutions address real clinical needs, and we are motivated by seeing how our algorithms improve patients’ lives. We are pushing the boundaries of technology and user experience to deliver a product which is revolutionising keyhole surgery.
