Xavant Technology · South Africa · since 2003

We believe where you live should never determine how well you're cared for.

So we democratize clinical intelligence by making it open, affordable and simple.

In practice that means quantitative neuromuscular monitoring that any hospital can afford, a single handheld that carries both AMG and EMG so the clinician chooses per patient, and an engine that other manufacturers build into their own monitors, so the same measurement reaches places our own devices never will.

2003founded in South Africa 57countries reached 6M+patients monitored (est.)

The three values we work by.

Human First sits at the centre, because every decision starts with the patient on the table and the clinician beside them. Truth in Signal and Open by Design are the two values that hold that centre up.

Truth in Signal

We never display data we can't trust. Lives depend on it.

Human First

Our technology serves humanity, quietly and intuitively. It handles the complexity. The clinician handles her patient.

Open by Design

We win by invitation, not lock-in. Our engine runs inside other makers' monitors, and our results leave in HL7, FHIR and IHE.

Xavant founders Corlius Birkill and Roche Janse van Rensburg

Two bioengineers from South Africa.

Roche Janse van Rensburg and Corlius Birkill finished their post-graduate studies in bioengineering at the University of Pretoria in 1997. A few ventures later, in 2003, they founded Xavant Technology to take the guesswork out of how patients recover from anesthesia drugs. With several patents between them, they're still inventing in the same field.

The people who lead the work.

Most of the team works under one roof in South Africa, so the people who design a monitor are a corridor away from the people who build, test and service it.
