Transforming brain surgery with AI-driven decision-support

Objective

Brain aneurysms, affecting 5% of the global population, pose significant health and economic challenges. Ruptures lead to a 50% fatality rate and severe neurological deficits in 66% of survivors. Current minimally invasive interventions, such as stent-assisted coiling, rely on manual, experience-based techniques for device selection and placement. These methods are prone to errors, causing high rates of complications, repeat surgeries, and wasted stents costing ~€10,000 each. The economic burden in Europe alone exceeds €4.7B annually.

Oxford Heartbeat’s PreSize Surgery revolutionises neurovascular care by combining preoperative 3D simulation with real-time intraoperative guidance powered by generative AI. This solution fuses patient-specific imaging with live surgical data to enhance precision, detect deployment deviations, and provide actionable insights during procedures.

By increasing surgical accuracy to 95%, reducing complications, and minimising device wastage, PreSize Surgery transforms neurovascular procedures, setting a new standard in minimally invasive surgery and unlocking €550M+ annual market opportunities.
