We provide software and services
Hi-D Imaging was incorporated in 2019 by Dr. Utku Gulan and Dr. Özge Karakas, colleagues at ETH at the time, to revolutionize medical image processing for cardiology. While conducting their postdoctoral research, the scientists decided to take a step forward to make an impact on the treatment of cardiovascular diseases.
The name Hi-D /haɪ-di/ Imaging is originated from three meanings: representing our Swiss roots (the Swiss name, Heidi) where we offer high-resolution medical image processing results with Swiss precision, it is a nod to high dimensional (4-D) nature of our technology and speaks for a meaning of “come on let’s do this” (“haydi”) in the Turkish language, representing the energy, motivation, and resilience of the Hi-D Imaging team.
Our ultimate goal is to redefine the way cardiovascular diseases are understood and treated by revolutionizing pre-operational planning in cardiology. We position ourselves as the world’s leading company in cardiac image analysis and aim to improve the workflows in medical centers all around the world.
The success lies in the multi-disciplinary approach and know-how.
We combine fluid dynamics, machine learning, computer vision, 3D printing, and in vitro imaging, which gives us a unique competitive advantage. We developed our know-how in world’s leading institutions and developed techniques that created our IP.
We are a multidisciplinary family. Our team is a great fusion of engineers, experimentalists, data analysts, and clinicians. We love what we do and dream to bring our novel technology to as many people as possible all around the world.
