Healthplus.ai raised €2.3 million to deploy PERISCOPE®, an AI system predicting post-surgery infections, aiming to reduce complications and healthcare workloads in the Netherlands with global expansion plans.
Healthplus.ai’s PERISCOPE®: A Leap in MedTech Innovation
Healthplus.ai, a MedTech scale-up based in Amsterdam, Netherlands, has secured €2.3 million to advance its AI platform, PERISCOPE®. This AI system is designed to predict post-surgery infections, aiming to significantly reduce surgical complications and alleviate the workload on healthcare professionals. The funding round was led by Elevating Capital and LUMO Labs, with contributions from ROM InWest, Pathena, and Leistone. The investment underscores a pivotal moment in the integration of artificial intelligence within healthcare settings, particularly in the prediction and management of postoperative complications [1][2][3].
The Technology Behind PERISCOPE®
PERISCOPE® operates by analyzing data from electronic health records to identify patients at high risk of post-surgery infections. The system uses predictive modeling to stratify patients into different risk categories, allowing medical teams to proactively manage and mitigate potential complications. This not only promises to improve patient outcomes but also offers substantial cost savings to hospitals. The technology is ISO- and CE-certified, ensuring compliance with European health standards, and is easily integrable with major EHR systems like Epic, Cerner, and ChipSoft [2][4][5].
Strategic Deployment and Future Plans
With the new funding, Healthplus.ai plans to expand its operations across Europe and initiate its presence in North American markets, including early pilot programs in the U.S. The company aims to secure FDA clearance to facilitate its entry into the American healthcare system. Furthermore, the funds will be used to broaden PERISCOPE®’s AI risk models to encompass a wider range of perioperative complications, thereby enhancing its utility across different surgical contexts [2][3][6].
Impact on Healthcare and Regional Development
The successful funding round highlights the innovation potential within the Netherlands, particularly in the North Holland region, which boasts a robust ecosystem in Life Sciences & Health and AI. By focusing on reducing surgical complications, Healthplus.ai not only contributes to a more sustainable healthcare system but also exemplifies the region’s ability to lead in cutting-edge medical technology innovation. This initiative is expected to make significant strides in improving patient care quality and operational efficiency in hospitals [1][4][6].
