Building the Intelligence Layer for Surgery
Surgery is the most complex, valuable, and least directly measured domain in healthcare. And yet, "Where you live still determines if you live." Theator was founded to change that.
Today, Theator's proprietary model is trained on more than 600,000 curated surgical procedures across 9 specialties and 180+ procedure types—the largest structured surgical video dataset in the world. Our research is peer-reviewed and published in the Journal of the American College of Surgeons, Annals of Surgery, and Nature. Our technology is deployed at Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, and leading health systems across the U.S. and Canada, embedded in Epic and Oracle Health, and featured on CNBC and Reuters.
How We Build. How We Work.
These are the principles that define how we build, how we work, and how we show up for each other and the clinicians we serve.
Human First
Tech depends on the people who create it. We celebrate wins and learn from losses. If we're humble, kind, empathetic, and there for one another, we can tackle anything that comes our way.
Getting --it Done
Everyone here wants to make an impact and win. We're building something completely new. We work fast, measure everything, and optimize continuously.
Your Voice Counts
From patients to physicians to team members, we count on courageous individuals to challenge themselves, each other, and the status quo.
Shared Understanding
Only when we all see the same big picture in full, transparent context can we achieve the autonomy and efficiency to truly make a difference.
World-Class Guidance
Clinical credibility. Technical depth. Enterprise experience.
