Surgeons still write operative reports from memory, hours after the operation. Uncovr raised $7M, led by Index Ventures, to fix that — TFN

New York- and Paris-based Uncovr has raised $7M in seed funding.

Index Ventures led the round, with participation from Seedcamp, Frst, No Label Ventures, and Entrepreneurs First

The funds will be used to scale its AI platform that automatically generates operative reports from surgical video.

More than 400 million surgeries are performed globally every year, with a small share of robotic and minimally invasive procedures being recorded in full on video.

“Surgeons should not have to spend their time reconstructing from memory what a camera has already captured and becoming medical coders. The bigger opportunity is what comes after. Every robotic and minimally invasive procedure already generates a rich record of expert decision-making, technique, and judgment. We believe this will become one of the foundational datasets of modern medicine,” Ines Iraki, co-founder and CEO of Uncovr, tells Tech Funding News.
