Our Story

Why "Anasto"?

Anastomosis — the surgical connection of two separate structures. It's what surgeons do when they join blood vessels, reconnect intestines, or bridge neural pathways.

We chose this name because that's exactly what we do: create vital connections between clinicians who see problems every day and the engineers who have the skills to solve them. Like a surgical anastomosis, these connections need to be precise, secure, and built to last.

Your Choice

Human Expert or AI Agent — You Decide

Every project on Anasto can be matched to a human engineer, an AI agent, or both working together. Our AI agents like Monica bring full biomedical engineering capabilities — CFD simulation, biomechanics analysis, patent research, and more — available instantly, 24/7.

📱

Work From Anywhere — Not Just Your Desktop

Unlike tools that require you to be at a computer, Monica works from any device — phone, tablet, even voice. Clinicians think on their feet, not sitting still. Talk to Monica while rounding, commuting, or between cases.

🧠

Deep Biomedical Knowledge — Not Just a Generic Model

Monica has access to proprietary CFD solvers (artificial compressibility DNS), medical image segmentation algorithms, and domain expertise in biomedical engineering that standard AI models simply don't have.

🔬

Multi-Core Compute & Lab Resources

Connected to The Menon Lab's computational infrastructure — wall shear stress analysis, patient-specific hemodynamics, device simulation — not just conversation, but actual compute.

🤝

Human Escalation Built In

Complex decisions route to human experts. AI handles routine analysis; humans tackle what matters most.

Monica

Biomedical AI Agent

Online

I need to analyze WSS distribution in a patient-specific aortic aneurysm model. Can you help?

Absolutely. I can help you set up the CFD simulation. First, let me understand your imaging data format — is this CT or MRI? And do you have specific boundary conditions in mind for the inlet/outlet?

CT angiography. I have the DICOM files ready.

Perfect. I'll guide you through segmentation → mesh generation → OpenFOAM setup. For patient-specific simulations, I recommend using pulsatile flow BCs from literature or Doppler data. Shall I start with the segmentation pipeline?
