Sovato

Sovato is a medical technology company dedicated to transforming global access to surgical care through the development of remote robotic surgery solutions. Headquartered in Santa Barbara, California, Sovato was co-founded by healthcare industry leaders Cynthia Perazzo, MBA, and Yulun Wang, PhD — the visionary behind Computer Motion, which merged with Intuitive Surgical, and InTouch Health, later acquired by Teladoc Health. Together, they are leading a new era of connected, technology-driven healthcare delivery that transcends geographic and economic barriers.

Driven by its mission to make high-quality surgical care accessible to everyone, everywhere, Sovato has developed the first and only comprehensive solution for establishing safe, scalable, and economically sustainable remote surgery and procedure programs. Its integrated platform combines robotics, connectivity, and data-driven insights to empower healthcare systems to expand surgical capacity and deliver expert care to underserved regions.

Sovato’s ecosystem unites people, systems, tools, and business models into a single, cohesive framework designed to meet the complex operational, clinical, and regulatory demands of remote surgery. By leveraging cutting-edge robotics and secure telecommunication technologies, the company enables surgeons to perform procedures with precision and consistency, regardless of location.

With a strong foundation in medical robotics and digital health innovation, Sovato aims to redefine surgical accessibility on a global scale. Its work not only addresses the shortage of surgical expertise but also opens new pathways for collaboration, training, and patient care in an increasingly connected world.
