Developing an AI assistant for operating-room safety checks and teamwork
Operating-room teams must coordinate complex tasks under pressure while following critical safety protocols. Missed checks, incomplete communication and inconsistent handovers can allow avoidable errors to reach patients, even when individual clinicians are skilled and experienced.
AltuSafe is developing SafeAI, an AI-assisted copilot for operating-room teams. Drawing on aviation safety methods, it is designed to support checklists and team coordination so clinicians can follow critical protocols more consistently.
What stands out about AltuSafe
AltuSafe secured a €65,000 seed loan and a €20,000 grant from Bpifrance to develop its operating-room safety assistant.
Co-founder Jérôme Soussan practised interventional radiology at Marseille’s Hôpital Nord, performing image-guided procedures.
Marseille Innovation includes AltuSafe in its supported startup portfolio for the SafeAI operating-room safety assistant.
