NZ Technologies Inc. (NZTech) is a technology innovation company specializing in designing and manufacturing touch-free Human Machine Interaction (HMI) products for the medical industry. Driven by the vision to democratize contactless interactions and by harnessing artificial intelligence, NZTech has invented proprietary 3D finger motion sensing technologies to establish and commercialize two product families – TIPSO™ and HoverTap™. NZTech’s products are disrupting multiple industries due to unprecedented capabilities, unbeatable accuracy, and superior touch-free user experiences. As novel tools in the clinical field, the FDA-approved TIPSO™ product family improves procedural workflow and reduces operational time during surgical procedures, while HoverTap™ modules convert high-touch display surfaces into touch-free interactive surfaces with low conversion costs and a shallow learning curve – thus contributing to higher OR throughput, higher hospital revenue, and reduced insurance costs.
In its quest for continuous evolution, NZTech hasn’t rested on its achievements. The company has broadened its horizons, venturing into new technological domains that allow touchless controls outside the confines of an operating room. Such advancements underscore NZTech’s commitment to developing technologies that enable users across various sectors to engage with interfaces without the constraints of physical touch.
At its core, NZTech is a multifaceted entity encompassing technology, software, and manufacturing. Proudly Canadian, the company conducts all its designs and engineering developments within the country. Its offerings are not limited to software solutions; NZTech produces embedded and standalone hardware devices equipped with inbuilt software to cater to a diverse clientele including the healthcare, self-service, and military sectors.
To amplify its reach and cater to its growing production needs, NZTech has forged strategic partnerships with key industry players. These alliances are pivotal in bolstering NZTech’s sales distribution channels and facilitating high-volume manufacturing.

With all the technology we deal with in the modern operating room, we have forgotten about best practices with respect to sterile fields and the presentation of the information. In some cases I am trying to follow 8 monitors and control systems simultaneously! Too much information and distractions result in a sub-optimal outcome. We need to change our culture and the way we do things. TIPSO™ helps usher in a new era where as operators we are taking back our mental bandwidth so we can focus on the important job at hand… saving lives and improving the health of our patients.

It was very useful to have TIPSO™ during the case, because kidneys are difficult to navigate, even when using fluoroscopy scans. Using TIPSO™ to scroll through the live CT scan (conebeam) allowed us to realize that we were in the wrong area.
