Company profile
researched Aug 2026Vexev develops automated vascular imaging technology that combines custom robotics designed and manufactured in-house, machine learning, proprietary ultrasound signal processing and analysis, and computational fluid dynamics for vascular systems. Its stated aim is to produce vascular imaging that avoids ionising radiation and reduces operator variation, and to support clinical decision-making with imaging-derived insights.
The company's product is the VxWave Ultrasound Imaging System, an autonomous/semi-autonomous ultrasound system that allows non-specialists to perform vascular ultrasound scans on the upper limb. Vexev describes itself as working in robotic tomographic ultrasound and positions the system for vascular access management, including mapping for arteriovenous fistula creation in patients requiring dialysis. The company also frames its technology as supporting a shift from reactive to proactive care pathways.
Business model
Vexev develops and commercializes a robotic ultrasound imaging system (VxWave) for use in clinical settings, working with dialysis service providers as deployment partners.
Traction
In November 2024 Vexev partnered with U.S. Renal Care, described as the third-largest dialysis provider in the USA, and began enrolment in the CANSCAN clinical trial. Enrolment of 120 patients with chronic kidney disease was completed in July 2025. In November 2025 the company reported that VxWave met clinical endpoints in CANSCAN, with a 94% scanning success rate and a 100% data adequacy rate for vascular access creation strategies at U.S. Renal Care dialysis clinics. Vexev also published research in the Journal of Vascular Access in November 2023.
Latest developments
Vexev reported raising $6M to accelerate U.S. commercialization of its autonomous vascular imaging platform, following the U.S. clinical study results and to advance FDA regulatory activities for VxWave.

Market position
Vexev describes itself as a pioneer in robotic tomographic ultrasound, targeting standardized, operator-independent vascular imaging.
Technology
The platform integrates in-house designed and manufactured robotics, machine learning, and high-resolution ultrasound, with proprietary ultrasound signal processing and analysis and computational fluid dynamics modelling of vascular systems. It is described as robotic tomographic ultrasound, operating without ionising radiation and designed to remove operator variation. Engineering work includes use of ROS 2, presented in a keynote at ROSCon 2024.
Go-to-market
Clinical validation and partnership with a large dialysis provider (U.S. Renal Care), combined with FDA regulatory activities ahead of U.S. commercialization.
Clinical care settings for vascular assessment, notably dialysis clinics and patients with chronic kidney disease requiring vascular access, as well as non-specialist operators performing upper-limb vascular ultrasound.
Geography
Company press activity is categorised across the United States and Australia; clinical work has been conducted at U.S. Renal Care dialysis clinics in the United States.
