Compressing medtech time to market
Where innovators meet operational conviction
We take regulated medtech from idea to cleared product, 3–5× faster, by compressing every discipline through one AI-native engine: Chrysalis.
What we do
The path from breakthrough idea to product is too slow, fragmented, and expensive.
That engine has a name: Chrysalis, our AI-native platform that compresses the path, so regulated medtech products reach the people who need them sooner.
It's more than the idea. Chrysalis is the transformation that distills every variable a product must satisfy, from market need to a cleared, manufacturable device, into one product. The path runs in four phases:

Selected work
How we've partnered: real programs.
Anonymized to protect our partners. The shape is real; the specifics are theirs. Full client references available under NDA.
Featured · Industry · Surgical
Imported-grade hardware, built domestically
A major pharmaceutical group wanted OR-grade surgical hardware (pulse-lavage and modular power tools) at a domestic cost. Chrysalis engineered a modular, sterilizable, reusable platform to ISO 13485, IEC 60601, and CDSCO Class B, with the regulatory file built against precedent.
Industry · US partner
A US device company, engineered in India
A US surgical-device company needed a laparoscopic ligation device at a cost imported staplers can't touch: US market, India build. Chrysalis designed a single-device 5 mm/10 mm system to Class C and mapped freedom-to-operate against the incumbents' IP.
Innovator · Clinician
Designed by the surgeon who needed it
A practicing cardiac surgeon knew hypothermia kills in trauma and surgery, yet imported inline warmers price Indian trauma centres out. Chrysalis engineered an inline warmer taking 4°C blood to 37°C in a two-minute prime, with a low-cost single-use cassette, to IEC 60601 and Class B.
Innovator · Clinician
Fertility expertise, engineered into a product
OB/GYN clinicians wanted a less-traumatic, outpatient alternative to invasive PCOS surgery for the tens of millions of women affected. Chrysalis engineered a transvaginal RF-ablation device (single-use, Class C) to IEC 60601-2-2 and the CDSCO pathway, with safety-margin tuning and clinician training.
Industry · Connected care
Hospital-grade monitoring, domestically priced
A health-devices partner needed continuous patient monitoring for India's hospital-at-home shift, where imported vital patches cost many times the domestic target. Chrysalis engineered a reusable multi-vital patch (ECG, HR, respiration, temperature, fall) on BLE 5.3 to clinical-grade accuracy, Class B, with a companion app and clinician dashboard.
