Dynamic Light

Dynamic Light, Inc. is an Austin, Texas-based medical technology company that develops non-invasive imaging hardware and software for surgical applications. Its primary innovation is a patented technology called SpeckleView®, which integrates with surgical microscopes or robotic systems to provide continuous, real-time, high-resolution visualization of blood flow and tissue perfusion. Unlike traditional methods that require the injection of contrast dyes, SpeckleView® allows surgeons to monitor blood flow without procedural interruptions, aiming to improve surgical accuracy and patient outcomes while reducing potential complications during neurovascular, robotic, and plastic surgeries. The company’s technology is underpinned by over two decades of clinical research and development, including foundational work on laser speckle contrast imaging.

The company focuses on providing surgeons with critical, real-time insights to support better intraoperative decision-making. By eliminating the need for contrast agents, the system helps reduce surgical risks, potential errors, and associated healthcare costs. Dynamic Light is actively engaged in the commercialization of its product line for global markets, supported by exclusive intellectual property rights licensed from the University of Texas at Austin. The platform is designed to assist in various surgical specialties, with initial applications targeting neurosurgery. The company is led by CEO Steve Whitlock, a veteran of the med-tech industry, and was co-founded by Drs. Andrew Dunn and David Miller to translate advanced imaging research into clinical practice.
