What Adaptiiv does

Adaptiiv Medical Technologies Inc. is a Halifax, Nova Scotia-based privately held medical device and software company that develops regulatory-cleared software for designing and 3D printing patient-specific radiation therapy accessories used in cancer treatment. Its platform converts patient DICOM imaging data from treatment planning systems (TPS) into digital 3D models that can be 3D printed, and is organized into five core software modules: 3D Bolus (Simple Bolus and Modulated Electron Bolus with a patented hotspot correction algorithm), 3D Brachy (Nova Surface Applicator with Varian BRAVOS compatibility), ProstatePlan RT (automated prostate IMRT/VMAT planning within Varian Eclipse, launching March 2026), and DermaPlan RT (automated skin treatment planning). The company holds the first FDA 510(k) clearance globally for 3D printing software in radiation oncology, alongside CE Mark and TGA approval, and has invested over 10,000 hours validating 3D printers and materials (HP MJF and Formlabs SLA).

Adaptiiv monetizes through three revenue streams: (1) on-premise or Eclipse-co-located software licenses with recurring upgrade entitlement and custom enterprise pricing; (2) Adaptiiv On Demand, an FDA 510(k) cleared pay-per-use manufacturing service in North America where the company prints and ships TrueFit Bolus, TrueFlex Bolus, and Nova Surface Applicators directly to clinics on a 4-business-day turnaround; and (3) professional services for implementation and training. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales targeting radiation oncology centers (major academic medical centers, community hospitals, VA Health Care), with channel partners including Eckert & Ziegler BEBIG (DACH, Italy, Spain, France), Cablon Medical (Benelux), NL-Tec (Australia), and MD Surgical (U.S. Mid-Atlantic). The company has reported clinical usage in 18 countries across North America, Europe, and Oceania.

The company is led by co-founder and CEO Alex Dunphy, President Erin Brown, Executive Chairperson Joshua Levine (former CEO of Accuray Incorporated), and Engineering Director Adem Hamidovic. Strategic technology alliances include HP Inc. (manufacturing), Varian/Siemens Healthineers (Gold Tier member of the Varian 3cosystem with Eclipse and BRAVOS integration), and Formlabs (validated printing for Adaptiiv On Demand). Adaptiiv was founded as 3D Bolus, rebranded to Adaptiiv, and has cumulatively raised approximately $9.5M across multiple rounds from 2017 through 2023, including non-dilutive support from Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency. Named customers include Mayo Clinic, Cedars-Sinai, Sutter Health, Oxford University Hospitals, Clatterbridge Cancer Centre, U.S. VA Health Care, and others.

Revenue model

1. Software Licenses (On-Premise): Adaptiiv provides regulatory-cleared software (3D Bolus, 3D Brachy, ProstatePlan RT, DermaPlan RT) that clinics install on their own workstations or TPS systems. The software integrates with existing RT workflows. Software upgrades are provided at no additional charge throughout the contract term. Implementation and training services are available for additional fees.
2. Adaptiiv On Demand (Pay-per-use Manufacturing): A pay-as-you-go FDA 510(k) cleared service allowing clinical teams to customize patient-specific radiotherapy accessories that are 3D printed by Adaptiiv and shipped directly to the clinic. No upfront financial or contractual commitment required. Currently available in North America. Accessories include TrueFit Bolus (HP MJF printed Ultrasint PA12 or clear resin), TrueFlex Bolus (silicone-filled moulds), and Nova Surface Applicators (Formlabs SLA printed).
3. Professional Services & Training: Adaptiiv provides installation, training, and ongoing system services for its software platform. Training is provided for standard fees.

Products and services

• Simple Bolus Software Software module that converts patient DICOM data into a digital model for 3D printing patient-specific bolus used in external beam radiation therapy. Includes smoothing, cropping, patient ID labeling, cleaving, and In Vivo Dosimetry features. Designed for medical physicists, radiation therapists, and radiation oncologists in cancer centers.
• Modulated Electron Bolus (MEB) Software Automated design of patient-specific, plan-specific modulated thickness bolus that can be 3D printed. The MEB algorithm produces a modulated shape conforming the prescribed dose to the distal part of a target volume while sparing underlying healthy tissue. Includes a patented hotspot correction algorithm. MEB design generation takes under 2 minutes. Designed for radiation oncology departments performing electron therapy.
• Nova Surface Applicator Software (3D Brachy) Software module for automatically designing patient-specific brachytherapy applicators with hollow catheter trajectories with constant user-defined stand-off and separation distances. Includes safety features for controlling minimum bend-radius of curvature to prevent source sticking. Compatible with Varian BRAVOS afterloader system. Designed for brachytherapy teams.
• ProstatePlan RT Automated prostate treatment planning module that opens from within Varian Eclipse. Automatically creates required structures (PTVs, PRVs, rectal tuning, separating nested targets), performs strategic beam placement, and executes fully automated IMRT or VMAT optimization. Plan generation completes in minutes with built-in hotspot cooling at up to three dose levels. Designed for radiation oncology departments with Varian Eclipse TPS.
• DermaPlan RT Automated skin treatment planning module that opens from within Varian Eclipse. Automatically creates planning structures based on PTV geometry, generates bolus, and creates tuning structures for dose compactness. Provides two options for intelligent IMRT beam placement: based on tangent to PTV or minimizing peripheral dose. Fully automated IMRT or VMAT optimization. Designed for radiation oncology departments treating skin cancer.
• Adaptiiv On Demand FDA 510(k) cleared pay-per-use manufacturing service that allows clinical teams to customize patient-specific radiotherapy accessories (TrueFit Bolus printed on HP MJF, TrueFlex silicone-filled bolus, and Nova Surface Applicators printed on Formlabs SLA) that are 3D printed by Adaptiiv and shipped directly to the clinic. No upfront financial or contractual commitment required. Standard order turnaround is 4 business days plus shipping. Currently available in North America. Designed for radiation oncology clinics without in-house 3D printing capability.
