Uncovr announced that it has raised a $7 million seed round led by Index Ventures, with participation from Seedcamp, Frst, No Label Ventures, Entrepreneurs First, and a group of founders, operators, surgeons, and hospitals.
The company is developing AI technology that analyzes surgical video to automatically generate operative reports and procedural coding based directly on what occurs in the operating room. Uncovr is focused on minimally invasive, endoscopic, and robotic procedures, where surgeries are performed through cameras but documentation is often created afterward from memory.
According to the company, its goal is to make documentation significantly easier for surgeons while improving the quality and completeness of patient records. Uncovr believes that every surgery contains critical details and subtle signals that can influence a patient’s recovery and subsequent care, making accurate documentation essential.
The company said its long-term vision extends beyond reducing administrative burden. Uncovr aims to help clinicians capture and preserve important information that could support better clinical decisions and potentially improve patient outcomes.
The funding will support the company’s efforts to advance its AI capabilities and continue building technology designed to assist clinicians rather than replace them.
KEY QUOTES:
“At Uncovr, we’re building AI that analyses surgical video to automatically generate operative reports and procedural coding directly from what happened in the operating room.”
“Because today, even though millions of minimally invasive, endoscopic, and robotic procedures are performed through a camera, the official record is still often created after the fact, from memory, outside the flow of care.”
“Every surgery contains critical information: small details, subtle signals, and moments that can shape what happens next in a patient’s care journey. A missing detail can affect aftercare. A poorly documented moment can make it harder for the next clinician to understand what really happened. A subtle signal that goes unnoticed can change the course of recovery and, in some cases, the course of a life.”
“I’m looking forward to the day when Uncovr identifies and documents a small but significant signal that might otherwise have been missed and helps enable life-saving clinical aftercare for a patient. That, to us, is the true promise of AI.”
“Not replacing clinicians. Helping them see more, remember more, and act on the right information when lives depend on it. Every operative note matters because every patient does. This is why we build: to help save the first of many human lives.”
