Overview
South Korean medtech company developing tablet-based augmented reality (AR) surgical guidance systems. Its flagship SKIA HEAD platform converts preoperative CT/MRI imaging into 3D anatomical reconstructions projected onto the patient's body in real time, powered by medical-grade Structure Sensors. The company received FDA 510(k) clearance in May 2026 and is expanding to the US market through a hardware partnership with Structure.
SKIA's broader portfolio includes SKIA Body (used in 80+ hernia surgeries in India), SKIA Face, and SKIA Breast (in confirmatory clinical trials at Seoul National University, Yonsei Severance, and Ewha Womans University Hospital).
