About us

Our mission at Vope Medical is to pioneer a new field at the intersection of Digital Surgery and Generative AI to empower the surgical team with next-generation vision and deliver safer surgeries to patients.

Our computer vision-based approach addresses a major unmet clinical need where the vision of the surgical site is obstructed for 37% of the total procedure. We specialize in developing an AI-driven software that delivers constant clear images. This allows surgeons to fully focus on the surgery they are performing which leads to decreased errors and time in surgery.

Vope Medical is an award-winning startup backed by multiple accelerators, incubators, and grants. The company has a diverse and driven team where we have combined business, engineering, data science, regulatory, and clinical expertise. We are supported by a board of advisors composed of top surgeons in North America and experts in the industry.
