We’re proud to announce a major milestone in our journey to redefine surgical visualization in minimally invasive surgery with AI. Today, we’re excited to share a transformative moment for vopemed: we’ve secured $2.29M to tackle one of the most persistent challenges in minimally invasive surgery - poor visualization, a problem that continues to compromise patient safety and surgical outcomes. We’re setting a new standard in surgical imaging - powered by cutting-edge AI, developed in collaboration with leading surgeons, and designed to integrate seamlessly into existing operating room workflows. To our team, partners, and the broader community who believe in our vision: thank you. This milestone brings us one step closer to making every surgery safer and more efficient. 🔗 Read more about our funding round: https://lnkd.in/espRBEmz #medtech #surgery #innovation #healthcare #vopemed #AI
About us
AI-augmented clear surgical visualization. Our software delivers clear vision in endoscopic surgery to reduce surgical errors and improve operational efficiency. We are addressing a significant unmet need for clear vision in endoscopic surgery where 37% of the total time in surgery, the view of the surgical site is obstructed from blood or fog contamination on the camera. Our software enhances surgical view in real-time using an AI-driven approach. We provide seamless endoscopic system integration - agnostic to all optics systems on the market.
