Caresyntax and Qaelon Medical Join Forces to Combat Surgical Leaks
Surgical leaks are among the most feared complications in medical procedures, often resulting in devastating outcomes for patients and significant costs for healthcare systems. Addressing these issues in real time can mean the difference between life and death, underscoring the need for innovation in surgical intelligence and detection. In a significant step forward, Caresyntax, a global leader in surgical intelligence platforms, and Qaelon Medical, a pioneer in surgical leak detection technologies, have announced a strategic partnership to redefine how surgical leaks are detected and managed.
A Shared Mission to Make Surgery Smarter and Safer
Caresyntax, headquartered in San Francisco in the US and internationally in Berlin, has a proven track record of enhancing surgical outcomes. Its software is deployed in over 4,200 operating rooms worldwide, supporting more than three million procedures annually. By leveraging data and technology, Caresyntax empowers surgical teams to deliver safer, more effective care.
Qaelon Medical complements this mission with its revolutionary platform for detecting surgical leaks in real time. The company’s solution integrates advanced insufflation technology—already a staple in minimally invasive surgeries—with proprietary controls, digital sensors, and data algorithms. This enables surgical teams to identify life-threatening leaks during procedures, allowing immediate corrective action and saving both lives and costs. This is important as in the U.S. alone, surgical leaks account for over $1.1 billion in annual treatment expenses.
Multi-Phase Partnership to Enhance Surgical Care
Caresyntax and Qaelon Medical’s collaboration will unfold in three phases:
1. Building a Transparent Patient Database:
The partnership’s first phase focuses on creating the world’s first standardized patient database for surgical leaks. Using Qaelon’s proprietary intra-operative data, this database will establish baseline metrics on the incidence and outcomes of surgical leaks, providing a foundation for future improvements.
2. Demonstrating Real-World Impact:
In the second phase, the focus will shift to capturing real-world evidence that highlights the life-saving benefits of Qaelon’s real-time leak detection technology. This phase aims to showcase how the technology not only improves patient outcomes but also reduces healthcare costs by preventing complications before they escalate.
3. Incorporating Predictive Decision-Making Support:
The final phase will integrate predictive clinical decision-making tools into Caresyntax’s platform, enabling surgical teams to proactively reduce the incidence and impact of leaks. This innovation has the potential to transform surgical care, providing surgeons with actionable insights to enhance patient safety.
A key component of this partnership is collaboration with leading surgeons, health systems, and MedTech industry partners. By sharing data and insights, Qaelon and Caresyntax aim to foster transparency and accelerate learning across the surgical ecosystem. This collaborative approach is essential for addressing the complexities of surgical leaks and ensuring consistent, high-quality care.
Through this partnership, Caresyntax and Qaelon Medical are setting a new standard in surgical care. By combining real-time detection, advanced analytics, and predictive decision-making, they aim to eliminate the devastating impact of surgical leaks, improving patient outcomes and transforming the healthcare landscape. With this multi-phase initiative, the future of safer, smarter surgery is within reach.
