ARDVRK has Powerful DNA

ARDVRK’s Visionary Team Emerged
from the Life Sciences Industry
Unlike other AR/VR developers who work within many different industries, ARDVRK is relentlessly focused on our sole vision: Better health. Visualized.
We’re uniquely qualified to fulfill that vision. Our entire senior management team has made its mark as commercial and clinical leaders in the life sciences industry.
We are acutely aware of the challenges inherent to building successful brands, drilling down complex science, and measuring evidence and outcomes.
Together, our combined experience enables us to approach medical simulation technology from an insider’s perspective. We know the business…we know the players…and we know what it takes to develop powerful new solutions in clinical and patient education.
ARDVRK Leadership
To make our vision a reality, we’ve assembled an award-winning team of storytellers, engineers, medical specialists, and artists.
