Scaling an AI-driven platform to improve coordination and safety in surgical services.

• Clinician-led design: Built by surgeons, nurses, and healthcare leaders with firsthand experience.
• Patient safety focus: Created to address critical gaps that have contributed to preventable patient deaths.
• Validated pilot: Active implementation underway at the University of Washington.
• AI-powered orchestration: Uses real-time data to automate workflows and improve efficiency in surgical services.
• Early clinician support: Positive feedback points to meaningful impact in operating rooms.

CLARA is raising funds to expand its intelligent orchestration platform for surgical services, designed to address inefficiencies that contribute to patient risk in operating rooms. Developed by clinicians, the platform uses real-time data to coordinate teams, equipment, and workflows, ensuring surgical services operate with greater accuracy, efficiency, and reliability. By automating the “just-in-time” rhythm of care, CLARA seeks to minimize delays, reduce errors, and enhance patient safety, while giving clinicians the tools they need to focus on providing care rather than troubleshooting logistical breakdowns.

The company is currently piloting its solution at the University of Washington, measuring outcomes such as equipment utilization, response times, and reliability compared to existing systems. With early validation from clinicians and strong momentum in its pilot program, CLARA is positioning itself as a critical solution to longstanding challenges in surgical operations. This fundraising effort will help scale the platform, further refine its AI-driven orchestration capabilities, and expand its reach to more healthcare systems, with the broader goal of transforming how surgical services are coordinated and delivered.
