Anaut Inc.

STORY

Since ancient times, the evolution of surgical medicine has always been supported by the advancement of the anatomical science. Anaut, in collaboration with many surgeons, has continued the quest to delineate the structure and create a new map of the human body. The company name comes from the words “astronaut” or “aeronaut”, and it reflects our desire to explore the world of anatomy and bring new value to the field of surgical medicine.

Although artificial intelligence (AI) and other advanced technologies have been rapidly implemented in society in recent years, they have yet to make a significant impact in the field of surgical care. Anaut will advance the implementation of technologies in the field of surgical care. We will enable safer surgeries by assisting surgeons in getting a clearer picture of organs and structures in the human body.

Anaut will not only develop an AI to support surgery and the learning process of doctors but will contribute to the further evolution of surgical technology by integrating various technologies such as robotics and bioimaging.
