BOPA 2 · 2025-2030

Augmenting the patient journey

Improving care at every stage of surgery: before, during and after the operation.

Before surgery

Communicate better

Help patients understand their surgery and decide with their surgeon: the LiverSight and PancreasSight apps, digital twins.

During surgery

Analyse the real
