Data: a new frontier for #surgery

"Scalpel today collects data from multiple non-invasive sensors that are in the room, collecting data" - CEO Yeshwanth Pulijala (@yesh66)

But why is this data useful, and how is it used?

I'm excited to announce that Scalpel is a finalist at this year's #UKBAAAwards!
Being an early-stage startup is quite the ride, but to be nominated for awards like this, among such great companies, never fails to feel exciting!

Looking forward to the final on July 7th!

A lack of well-trained staff is one of the reasons #surgical delays cost over $7000/day.
We use #AI to help train staff to identify the exact instruments needed for surgery - improving operational efficiencies without compromising quality. ⬇️

The NHS is facing a staffing crisis.

With 110,000 vacancies already open, we must find ways to support the existing workforce.

👀Using #AI, we reduce staff demand by freeing a second pair of eyes to monitor safety in the operating room.

Lack of staff training leads to mistakes in the handling of #surgical instruments.

@Scalpel_ai technology trains and supports staff with instrument identification and handling - aiding decision making and improving efficiency during reprocessing and tray packing.

The day that changed my life..

[Scalpel - Making Surgery Safer @Scalpel_ai]

Dr. Yeshwanth Pulijala (@yesh66) founded Scalpel after witnessing a 'near miss' of a 'never event' in an operating theatre.

This opened Yesh's eyes to the prevalence of medical errors: the third leading cause of death globally.
