Research

Evidence for surgical AI.

We generate independent evidence on whether surgical AI works, where it works, and how to implement it safely — so the field is built on more than optimism.

What we do

From evaluation to evidence.

Academic rigour applied to real clinical AI.

Clinical AI evaluation

Independent assessment of real-world performance.

Systematic reviews

Rigorous synthesis of what the evidence shows.

Consensus work

Delphi studies that build shared standards.

Benchmarking

Comparable, transparent performance testing.

White papers

Clear positions on the questions that matter.

Implementation & safety

How AI is adopted without causing harm.

Grants & clinical trials

Funded studies and prospective evaluation.

Conference outputs

Sharing findings back with the field.

Current activity

Underway now.

In progress

AI in Surgery — International Delphi

A consensus study defining what surgical AI "co-pilots" must get right. Launching September/October 2026 — panellists are being recruited now.

Coming soon

Surgical AI Readiness Report

Our first flagship report, launching at The Surgeon Show in February 2027.
