What XRlabs does

XRlabs is a London-based private company, founded in 2022 by practicing neurosurgeon Dr. Ali Haddad, that develops a Surgical Intelligence platform combining AI, extended reality (XR), and medical device integration. The platform's core products are XRlabs SIM, which converts standard CT and MRI scans into interactive 3D digital twins for surgical planning and rehearsal, and SurgicalOS, a device-agnostic modular retrofit layer that runs real-time physical AI on existing surgical scopes (e.g., Olympus ORBEYE) using NVIDIA Jetson Thor edge hardware. Underlying capabilities include AI-powered 3D reconstruction from medical imaging, computer vision-based instrument tracking, gaze and voice-responsive automation, and generative AI that designs patient-specific implants in seconds.

The company's technology stack integrates NVIDIA Isaac for Healthcare for sim-to-real development, NVIDIA Holoscan for the physical AI runtime, and Apple Vision Pro for stereoscopic intraoperative visualization. Validated achievements include the world's first AI-designed patient-specific skull implants (used in craniopagus twin separation surgery at PureHealth SEHA in Abu Dhabi), the first clinical deployment of NVIDIA Jetson Thor in surgery at Lenox Hill Hospital, and TIME Best Inventions 2025 recognition for XRlabs SIM.

XRlabs is pre-revenue, with products still under R&D and not commercially available. Its business model, once commercial, will combine enterprise platform licensing to hospitals, OEM licensing/royalty arrangements with medical device manufacturers (anchored by Olympus and NVIDIA partnerships), and professional services for clinical validation and implementation. Customers to date span hospitals and surgical teams (Lenox Hill, GOSH, PureHealth SEHA), medical device manufacturers (Olympus, NVIDIA), and nonprofit co-development partners (Gemini Untwined). The company operates from London (HQ) and Palo Alto, with case deployments across Europe, North America, and the Middle East, and has raised $2.3M in seed funding from Eka Ventures.

Core offering

XRlabs develops a Surgical Intelligence platform that combines AI, extended reality (XR), and medical device integration. Its flagship product, XRlabs SIM, converts standard CT and MRI scans into interactive 3D digital twins within a mixed reality environment for surgical planning, visualization, and rehearsal. SurgicalOS extends the platform as a modular retrofit layer integrating with existing surgical scopes (e.g., Olympus ORBEYE) to deliver real-time AI analysis, computer vision-based instrument tracking, and intent-aware automation powered by NVIDIA Jetson Thor edge AI.

Product overview

XRlabs offers a unified Surgical Intelligence platform combining extended reality, AI, and medical device integration. The core product XRlabs SIM transforms standard CT and MRI scans into interactive 3D digital twins within mixed reality for surgical planning, rehearsal, and training. SurgicalOS extends the platform to work with existing surgical equipment including exoscopes, enabling real-time AI analysis and computer vision-based instrument tracking. The products share a common AI Surgical Brain architecture and are designed for global accessibility across hospital settings. XRlabs SIM has been deployed in over 100 surgical cases on three continents and was named to TIME's Best Inventions of 2025.
