About Us

Integrity. Transparency. Impact

Maximizing our customers' impact with the effective application of state-of-the-art technology

We have extensive experience in many areas including research and education. Our research specialities utilize custom written software for GPU-accelerated volumetric image analysis and data processing. Our education specialities include developing world leading VR medical training simulations with haptic interfaces and novel real-time physics models that enable unprecedented surgical interactivity, and also simpler training applications that use gamification to motivate student engagement and maximize effective learning.

Director's Note

Awards, research papers, conference talks. These are the instruments of exchange of knowledge for academics and researchers. Today's technology exchanges knownledge faster and further than anything in history. After training for over a decade, and specializing for a decade more. the academic model for sharing innovations has limited impact, whereas a successful product launch can see "viral" growth. Faster, leaner, directly to those who can benefit most. Exagen was founded to step away from acadmic measures of success, to test the real-world value of research innovations and engage directly with users.
