en.Wedoany.com Reported - Surgical AI company Uncovr announced a $7 million seed round led by Index Ventures, with participation from Seedcamp, Frst, No Label Ventures, and Entrepreneurs First. The round also includes Jean Nehme (founder of Digital Surgery, acquired by Medtronic), Othman Laraki (CEO of Color Health), Charlie Songhurst (Meta board member), as well as multiple surgeons and operating staff. Uncovr has partnered with leading hospitals in the US and Europe and built a pipeline representing over 400 operating rooms. The company's system has analyzed thousands of hours of surgical video over several months, building one of the first AI systems capable of transforming complex surgical workflows into structured clinical and operational data at scale.
Uncovr automatically generates procedure coding and surgical reports directly from surgical video and intraoperative workflow data, enabling hospitals to code based on actual surgical events without relying on post-hoc documentation. The platform aims to improve reimbursement accuracy, enhance clinical documentation, and increase visibility into operating room workflows, and is currently being deployed in operating rooms across the US and Europe.
Over 400 million surgeries are performed globally each year, the majority of which are video-recorded via minimally invasive and robotic techniques. However, surgical reports are still manually reconstructed by surgeons from memory after multiple cases, often hours after the events. These reports serve as the basis for billing and compliance, as well as a reference for future patient care, but critical details are frequently lost, and the vast amount of data generated in the operating room remains underutilized.
Alongside this round, Uncovr released initial real-world analysis results from its deployed cases: 16% of surgeries had missing billable steps, and approximately 10% of reimbursement gaps were caused by documentation gaps not captured by manual review. A multi-institutional study covering 500 health systems and over 1,000 surgical cases found that most surgical reports failed to report at least 70% of recommended clinical information, directly linked to higher rates of infection, readmission, and reoperation.
Uncovr analyzes real-time captured surgical or endoscopic video to identify steps performed during procedures and automatically generates procedure coding and clinical documentation. The company's co-founder and CEO Ines Iraki stated that the team is transforming what actually happens in the operating room into information that can be reliably captured and utilized. Every robotic and minimally invasive surgery already generates a rich record of expert decisions and techniques. Surgery has always been learned through observation; AI now makes it possible for the first time to capture, structure, and disseminate this knowledge at scale.
Uncovr was founded in 2025 by Ines Iraki (CEO), Johann Diep (CTO), and Prof. Eric Vibert (Medical Co-founder). The team includes engineers, surgeons, and medical coders from institutions such as ETH Zurich, École Polytechnique, AP-HP, Mayo Clinic, HEC Paris, and Texas Health Resources. The company has expanded to Paris and New York and is accelerating deployments with health systems in the US and Europe.
