A surgeon, a builder and an AI architect.
Theonix is built with the clinicians who teach procedures, in the labs where they teach them. Based in New Jersey.
Why Theonix exists.
Procedural skill is still taught the way it was a century ago: see one, then do one, while hopefully someone experienced is standing next to you. Supervised reps are scarce, and competency is often judged by numbers rather than observed skill.
We think every learner should have an expert at their shoulder for every attempt, and every attempt should leave a record. Theonix is built so that the expertise concentrated in a few teaching hospitals can reach any room with a camera.
The founders
Shaheen Timmapuri, MD
Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer
Shaheen is a board-certified pediatric surgeon and healthcare educator who has built several clinical programs from the ground up: a regional fetal evaluation center, a pediatric ECMO program and a new pediatric surgery division. She owns the clinical content behind every Theonix procedure.
Hani Batla
Co-Founder and CEO
Hani has spent twenty-plus years shipping products at scale, at Verizon, Ericsson Edge Gravity, Comcast and HBO, and holds twelve U.S. patents. He is also CIO and CTO at Adorama, where he built the technology organization from zero to a hundred-plus people.
Vitaliy Bondar-Tvorovskiy
Founding AI Architect
Vitaliy leads the Theonix AI stack, from real-time voice to the models that watch a procedure and score it. He and Hani have built together since 2016, most recently leading an engineering group of fifty across six companies.
How we build.
Software only, with the faculty who teach, in the classroom from day one.
With the faculty who teach
Every procedure in Theonix is scoped with the instructors who teach it. We meet with faculty every two weeks to choose and build the next one.
In the classroom, not the lab
Theonix has been in classroom use since September 2026. Real learners, real equipment, real faculty review.
With clinical users advising
A closed group of clinical users, faculty and students alike, tries each release early and tells us what a program needs before it would sign.
New hardware not needed
Theonix runs on phones, Meta glasses and the cameras already in a sim lab, with no additional capital purchase. We build software, so our partners keep the hardware they have.
Let’s talk.
If you teach procedures, build devices or run a therapy that patients give themselves, we’d like to hear from you.
