SURGERY, MEET
COMPUTER VISION

Here at Countability, we're on a mission to democratize medicine using AI-powered solutions.

OUR VISION

Surgical equipment shouldn't be left behind.

In the US alone, an estimated 1,500 surgical instruments are left behind in patients' bodies each year. Around the world, this amounts to nearly 1 case for every 1000 surgeries. Even soft objects such as sponges or bandages can cause internal bleeding, sepsis, or even death.

​

No patient should be endangered by  preventable medical accidents. 

OUR SOLUTION

Introducing our flagship SurgMonitor™ system

LOW-COST MONITORING

The SurgMonitor™ system harnesses available technologies like mobile phones to monitor sterile and discarded medical tools in the operating room. Our AI model can detect various medical devices including scalpels, forceps, and sponges so that every tool is accounted for.

REAL-TIME DISPLAY

Keep the entire surgical team updated using the SurgMonitor™ web app. Nurses update the system about the status of the surgery using a simple interface on their laptops. Then, the surgical team can see tools that are currently in use and relevant alerts such as missing tools so that the team can catch mistakes before it's too late. 

DATA ANALYTICS

Review a minute-by-minute breakdown of tool use and alerts any time after the surgery. The SurgMonitor™ web app presents key statistics such as average event severity, average time to address alerts, and the number of manual overrides for the surgical team to review during team meetings.

WHY COUNTABILITY

A different approach using affordable technology.

RFID-based technologies are on the rise, however, they can cost hundreds to thousands of dollars to operate for a single surgery. Furthermore, these technologies fail in the field and in countries without access to advanced computing technologies. 

 

Affordability shouldn't be a barrier to safety. That's why we strived to use affordable technologies like phone cameras. Furthermore, SurgMonitor™ can be locally hosted to minimize dependency on a network.
