How the list was compiled
According to the company's announcement, the "World's Top HealthTech Companies 2026" list comes from an international analysis meant to identify the most innovative and impactful health technology firms. These are companies that use digital technologies to make healthcare more effective and accessible.
Companies were assessed across three pillars: Financial Performance, Reputation Analysis, and Online Engagement. EDDA Technology says this is the second consecutive year it has been recognized, which it links to its work on AI integrated digital platforms and interoperative clinical solutions.
The IQQA platform and surgical AI
EDDA's best-known product named in the announcement is the IQQA® platform. According to the company, it delivers advanced 3D analysis of CT and MR images to support personalized surgical and interventional planning. EDDA says the platform has been used in more than 130,000 cases worldwide and offers quantitative analysis and visualization for transplantation, resection, interventional procedures, and postoperative assessment.
The company also says it is building on the latest NVIDIA edge AI infrastructure. The aim, according to EDDA, is to develop surgical AI capabilities that extend patient-specific 3D anatomical intelligence into the operating room and support physicians during complex procedures.
Company comment and background
Dr. Jianzhong Qian, President and CEO of EDDA Technology, said the team was "honored to be recognized by TIME for the second consecutive year." He added that the recognition reflects a commitment to advancing surgical AI, "from patient-specific imaging and planning to real-time intraoperative intelligence." According to Qian, the company wants to bring actionable 3D insights into the clinical workflow to help physicians make more informed decisions.
EDDA describes itself as a leader in surgical AI and intelligent robotic solutions for precision surgery. It says it uses a "fully quantitative, interactive" approach to imaging analytics and robotic integration. Its proprietary platform is designed to support pre-surgical planning and simulation, intra-operative navigation, and post-operative evaluation. The stated goal is an end-to-end ecosystem of clinical practice, connection and education that supports physicians and patient management across all tiers of hospitals.
What it means
The listing is a third-party ranking based on financial, reputation and online engagement measures, not a clinical evaluation of EDDA's products. For hospitals and clinicians, the announcement mainly signals where the company is heading: from preoperative 3D planning toward AI support inside the operating room. The source gives no timeline or availability details for those intraoperative capabilities, which the company describes as being advanced and intended to support physicians.
