The mission

From innovation to progress in surgery

Improving the quality and safety of care in hepato-bilio-pancreatic surgery, guided by three principles that shape every project.

Human acceptability

Digital solutions co-designed and validated by the OR care teams.

Technological interoperability

Tools that integrate with hospital information systems.

Socially reasonable

An ethical approach, financially responsible and low-carbon.

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

From the black box to assistance: BOPCAM, the augmented operative report, and the AI agents Jacky and Henri for care teams.

After surgery

Follow up better

Support and measure: the Colette chatbot for transplant patients, PROMs/PREMs indicators, causal analysis of outcomes.
