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.
