Summary
Andromeda Surgical builds autonomous surgical robots that use AI to augment surgeons' cognitive abilities during procedures. Founded by Nick Damiano and Kartik Tiwari, both repeat founders who previously built companies in medtech and autonomous vehicles, they solve the problem of surgical complications caused by human mental limitations. They start with prostate procedures using a GPS-like navigation system that helps surgeons orient themselves and make optimal decisions. They completed the world's first robotic-assisted HoLEP procedure in 2024 and are expanding beyond urology into additional surgical specialties.
