Uncovr, a surgical AI startup focused on
clinical documentation and workflow intelligence, has raised $7 million in seed
funding. The round was led by Index Ventures, with participation from Seedcamp,
Frst, No Label Ventures, Entrepreneurs First, and a group of healthcare and
technology operators, including Digital Surgery founder Jean Nehme, Color
Health CEO Othman Laraki, and Meta board member Charlie Songhurst.
Founded in 2025 by Ines Iraki, Johann Diep,
and Professor Eric Vibert, Uncovr develops AI technology that analyses surgical
procedures and automatically generates operative reports and procedural coding
recommendations from surgical video and intraoperative workflow data.
The company is addressing a longstanding
challenge in healthcare documentation. Although an increasing number of
surgical procedures are captured through video, particularly in robotic and
minimally invasive surgery, operative reports are still largely written
manually after procedures have taken place. These reports form the official
clinical and legal record of a surgery and play a critical role in patient
care, hospital reimbursement, compliance, and future treatment decisions.
Uncovr’s platform analyses surgical and
endoscopic video recordings in real time to create structured procedural
records and draft documentation before surgeons leave the operating room. All
outputs are reviewed and approved prior to submission.
According to the company, grounding
documentation in procedural data rather than recollection can improve clinical
accuracy, coding quality, reimbursement integrity, and continuity of care. The
platform also creates searchable procedural records that can be used across
quality assurance, compliance, research, and operational workflows.
The company says early deployments have also
highlighted documentation-related reimbursement gaps that often go undetected
through conventional review processes, underscoring the operational and
financial impact of incomplete surgical reporting.
Beyond documentation and coding, Uncovr aims
to transform surgical procedures into structured clinical datasets that can
support future healthcare systems, research initiatives, and AI-enabled
surgical technologies.
Uncovr is already working with hospitals in
the United States and Europe and says its deployment pipeline includes more
than 400 operating rooms. Thousands of hours of surgical procedures have been
analysed through the platform to date.
The new funding will support continued
product development, expansion of hospital deployments, and further development
of the company’s AI models for surgical documentation and workflow analysis.
