About Aegis Digital Technologies

Aegis Digital Technologies is a deep tech MedTech startup founded in Dresden, Germany. We are developing Micro-SDP, a deterministic ML system for automated single blood cell detection and classification in oncology diagnostics, built as a Software as a Medical Device targeting EU IVDR Class C certification.

The name Aegis, the shield of protection in Greek mythology, reflects our founding principle: to build technology that protects. In diagnostics, where the cost of a wrong decision is measured in human lives, determinism, transparency, and reproducibility are not design preferences. They are non-negotiable.

Vision & Mission

We envision a world where rapid, accurate cancer diagnostics lead to faster, life-saving treatment.

Our responsibility is to build deterministic AI that accelerates cancer diagnostics, giving clinicians results they can trust and trace, one cell at a time.

The Founding Team

Erdem Altuntaç, Ph.D.

Erdem Altuntaç, Ph.D.

Co-Founder & CEO

Erdem holds a PhD in Applied Mathematics, with research focused on variational regularisation and optimisation algorithms for inverse problems. His postdoctoral work 2017-2019 introduced him to primal-dual splitting methods, the mathematical foundation of Micro-SDP's core algorithm. He subsequently worked at industrial and scientific companies in Germany, Holland, Belgium, the US, applying these methods to radar signal processing, autonomous vehicles, and neuromorphic computing. Micro-SDP is the convergence of that entire trajectory, and is deeply personal: family experiences with misdiagnosis drive his commitment to building diagnostic tools that are rigorous, reproducible, and trustworthy.
