Company mission
To revolutionize healthcare through technological innovation, with a focus on eye care.
Our take
With approximately 1 in 4 people developing cataracts over their lifetime, surgical procedures to remove them require delicate precision. The high demand for these surgeries means there are longer waiting times than ever before, and patient outcomes are inconsistent due to human error and limitations in dexterity.
Founded by faculty members at the University of California, Horizon Surgical Systems is a microsurgical robotics company aiming to pioneer the next generation of precision surgery to combat the condition and help minimise failures and waiting times for cataract treatment.
Horizon Surgical Systems’ flagship product Polaris merges advances in robotics, medical imagery and AI to elevate surgical precision in cataract surgery. The company's 2024 Series A funding will advance human studies and team expansion whilst developing its platform
