C-SATS, a spin-out of Washington University, has raised $2.5m for its cloud-based surgeon feedback system.
The platform is looking to use video of surgeries to assess surgeon performance, and is looking to fill a void on surgeon feedback to make operations safer. Often, surgeons are rarely reviewed after they leave university, giving ample opportunity for bad practice to become imbedded in a surgeon’s craft.
The round was joined by Washington’s W Fund, WRF Capital, Point B Capital, Founders Co-op, and the Seattle Angel Fund.
Derek Streat, CEO of C-SATS, said that the US-based company had a strong offer to hospitals: “They end up with surgeons that provide better output, are more productive, and drive revenue. They also help reduce cost and become more efficient with how they operate, which reduces risk for organisations and ensures that they adhere to compliance standards better. We provide that watchful eye. Everyone wants to help change the quality in healthcare, but it’s very hard to do. C-SATS is one of the only things I’ve seen that has a very pure way of empowering an organisation to move the quality needle.”
