About Formus Labs, Ltd
Formus Labs is an orthopaedic software development company creating world-first solutions for joint replacement surgeries. Founded from within the world-renowned Auckland Bioengineering Institute in New Zealand, Formus Labs combines cutting-edge computational biomechanics and AI automation to deliver personalized orthopaedic care at scale. Their flagship product, Formus Hip, is the world's first cloud-based AI-automated 3D pre-operative planning software for primary total hip arthroplasty, transforming patient CT scans into ready-to-execute surgical plans in under an hour. The platform empowers surgeons with patient-specific implant selection and placement recommendations, optimizing fit and function while significantly reducing planning time. Formus Labs serves orthopaedic surgeons and healthcare providers globally, with established partnerships in Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and recent FDA clearance enabling US market expansion. The company's technology addresses the growing demand for joint replacement surgeries—expected to reach nearly four million procedures annually by 2030—by making sophisticated pre-operative planning scalable and accessible. Beyond Formus Hip, the company is developing Formus Atlas for automated image segmentation and measurements, and Formus Navigator for comprehensive pre-, intra-, and post-operative guidance with soft-tissue modelling. The platform delivers significant cost reductions (up to 25%), greater workflow efficiency through remote case planning, and a unified approach linking pre-op imaging with intra-operative guidance.
