Rhovica Neuroimaging is a Bern-based MedTech startup founded in 2023 by neurosurgeons Martin Hlavica and Thomas Rhomberg. It is developing SoNav, a bedside navigation system with integrated sensors that provides real-time visualization for guided insertion of extraventricular drainage (EVD) catheters in emergency neurosurgery. The technology also reportedly enables continuous monitoring of brain ventricles, which the company says could reduce repeat CT scans, improve safety and outcomes, and lower costs. Rhovica positions SoNav to address the trade-off between speed and accuracy in emergency EVD placement and to improve patient outcomes in life-threatening increased intracranial pressure. The company raised €2.5 million in a financing round to accelerate development. M2care led the round and has appointed Carsten Laue to Rhovica’s board to support medtech strategy and company building as the team advances toward clinical adoption.
