Hellstern medical GmbH

Hellstern Medical is a German-American DeepTech company with dual headquarters in Wannweil/Tübingen (Germany) and New York (USA). Built in Europe and established in the United States, the company operates internationally across Europe, the United States, India and the GCC region.
Hellstern Medical develops system-critical surgical technologies designed for both civilian healthcare and defense medical environments. Its core technology, noac, is a robotic surgeon assist — a cyber-physical system that works directly with surgeons to stabilize the human body, reduce physical strain and increase surgical capacity in the operating room.
With this technology, Hellstern Medical is part of NATO DIANA, the NATO program identifying strategic dual-use innovations. noac represents NATO-validated Deep Tech for system-critical systems.
NATO classifies surgical capability as strategic infrastructure.
Mission-critical environments require increased surgical throughput.
Surgical capability is operational capability.
The company addresses a global challenge: healthcare systems worldwide face growing shortages of surgical capacity while demand for procedures continues to rise. noac enables a new model of surgical work by supporting the surgeon physically and functionally during procedures.
Hellstern Medical was founded by Sabrina Hellstern and Claudia Sodha, who built a globally operating DeepTech company delivering a system-critical dual-use technology into regulated clinical use in record time.
The company has established international commercialization structures, raised private capital and positioned itself for sustained global growth.
Hellstern Medical represents economic performance with real-world impact: scaling a technology that expands surgical capacity, strengthens healthcare systems and creates long-term value.
Leading surgery into the future.
Autonomous surgery is far away. The future begins with the autonomous surgeon.
Hellstern Medical brings Physical AI into the operating room, enabling Solo Surgery — a a single surgeon can perform procedures autonomously, physically stabilized by noac and functionally supported by Physical Artificial Intelligence.
