Cydar Medical

What Cydar Medical does

Cydar Medical is a Cambridge, UK-based medical software company that develops Cydar Maps, a cloud-based Software-as-a-Medical Device that uses AI and computer vision to produce patient-specific 3D anatomical maps and provide real-time image guidance during minimally invasive endovascular surgery. The platform is organized around a Plan-Guide-Analyze workflow: Plan+ generates AI-enhanced preoperative 3D maps with automated vessel measurements and multiple virtual guidewires; Guide overlays these maps onto intraoperative fluoroscopy using a patented auto-registration technology with deformation adjustment; and AVA (Automatic Volume Assessment) automatically estimates aortic volume from CT scans for post-operative surveillance. Adjacent modules include Cydar Collaborate for remote real-time clinical collaboration, Analytics for real-world evidence, and a Companion App for iOS and Android. Underpinning these is the Cydar Image Guided Surgery Platform (CIGSP), a cloud-to-OR infrastructure layer that connects imaging systems, PACS, displays, and partner Software-as-a-Medical-Device applications.

The company monetizes Cydar Maps through a quote-based annual subscription sold via a direct enterprise sales motion to hospitals, academic medical centers, and healthcare networks, with implementation and support bundled in. Cydar holds FDA 510(k) clearance, EU/UK CE mark under EU MDR, ISO 27001 certification, and HIPAA/GDPR compliance. It distributes globally through direct sales plus strategic channel collaborations with Medtronic Vascular Inc. (including a 40-site pilot across US/UK/Europe) and BrainLab AG, and has installed agreements at 50+ centers across the UK, US, and EU serving healthcare providers such as University of Chicago Medicine, Ochsner Health, Tampa General Hospital, MarinHealth, major New York academic systems, multiple NHS Foundation Trusts, and Hospital Universitari de Girona Doctor Josep Trueta.

The business is venture-backed, having closed an $11.5 million Series A in February 2023 led by Pembroke VCT and Downing Healthcare Ventures, with prior rounds including Innovate UK grants, EISMEA funding, and VentureFounders. The company is led by CEO Paul Mussenden alongside CSO and Co-Founder Graeme Penney and CTO Rob Hague, with Chairman Kenneth Hitchner (former Goldman Sachs Asia Pacific Chairman/CEO) and a board that includes investor and clinical imaging industry NEDs. Headcount sits in the 11-50 range, and the company's stated outcomes include 18% reduction in radiation exposure, 7% reduction in procedure times, and reduction in contrast agent use, with up to 50% radiation reduction cited for hospital administrator contexts.

• GE HealthCare: GE HealthCare offers interventional imaging (Innova/Optima) plus AI-enabled procedure guidance, competing for the same hospital capital and software budgets as Cydar's endovascular platform.

Emerging players

• Surgical Theater: Surgical Theater provides VR-based 360° surgical planning and visualization for complex procedures, overlapping with Cydar's patient-specific 3D mapping and pre-operative planning workflow in endovascular and broader vascular surgery.
• Activ Surgical: Activ Surgical is an emerging surgical AI/computer vision platform for intraoperative visualization, with overlapping computer-vision-for-surgery capabilities to Cydar's intraoperative guide module.
• Proximie: Proximie is a remote surgical collaboration and telemedicine platform directly comparable to Cydar Collaborate — enabling real-time remote proctoring, mentoring and screen-sharing in the OR.
• Medivis: Medivis provides AR/AI-powered surgical visualization and holographic planning built on imaging data, with a similar 3D-mapped, image-guided surgery value proposition to Cydar Maps.
