Our mission
Our mission is to empower surgeons by restoring their digital autonomy in the operating room. By bridging the gap between surgeons and medical data, we strive to eliminate communication barriers, streamline surgical workflows, and ultimately improve patient safety by reducing operative time and infection risks in high-stakes clinical environments.
Our challenge
Surgeons are currently digitally paralyzed by the sterile barrier. To navigate critical patient imaging during complex gastrointestinal procedures, they must verbally instruct assistants, causing significant communication lags. This communication gap costs hospitals €100 per minute and increases patient anesthesia exposure, leading to higher risks of post-operative complications and surgical site infections.
Our solution
CleanClick is a sub-gestural sEMG wearable that detects micro-muscle impulses through surgical gowns. Our device allows surgeons to navigate digital displays with precision without breaking sterility. By utilizing physics-based noise cancellation and low-latency machine learning, we provide a plug-and-play interface that saves 15 minutes per procedure and drastically reduces hospital operational costs.
We are joining the ºÚÁϸ£ÀûÍø Contest 2026 to turn sEMG technology into a practical tool for the operating room. Our team wants to solve the sterile barrier problem by giving surgeons direct control over their digital workspace, ultimately making surgeries faster and safer.
