Third-party BOpEx Campus

BOpEx (Experimental Operating Theatre)
Supported by: Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris
. Main consortium members: AP-HP, Medicen, Université Paris-Saclay
BOpEx is dedicated to the operating room. It is dedicated to the experimentation and co-development of digital solutions to improve the quality and safety of care in surgery and anesthesia, the working conditions of OR professionals, and the efficiency of organizations.

The Tiers Lieu service offering

The mission of the BOpEx third-party venue is to :

  • Support the emergence of innovative projects and accompany them in their development
  • Facilitate manufacturers' access to hospital-university expertise to support the development of innovative projects in the operating theatre
  • Evaluate innovative solutions in their contexts of use to encourage their dissemination
  • Emerge and lead a community of innovators
  • .

To achieve this, BOpEx offers support in the form of partnerships or services at various stages of the innovation cycle:

  • Derisking: mobilization of AP-HP experts to assess projects, their clinical and organizational interest, their market potential and help make technological choices compatible with the reality of hospitals' digital systems
  • Co-development: active contribution to the development of solutions (user interfaces, technologies, studies) by mobilizing AP-HP's expertise and data
  • Testing: evaluating the uses of solutions in real-life conditions to best grasp the challenges of transformation and change management
    .

Tiers Lieu projects

Project 1: Caresyntax x Relyens

Solution: Caresyntax is a platform for data acquisition, integration and analysis in the operating room.

Need: Systematize data collection in the OR and leverage this data to identify risk situations and thus improve the safety of surgical procedures and training

Third-Party Contribution: Contribution to the development and testing of the solution on three sites to lay the foundations for systematic data capture and analysis with a view to improving management and training.

Project 2: SurgAR

Supplier: SurgAR

Solution : Contribution of augmented reality to minimally invasive surgery.

Need: To assess the impact of augmented reality applied to liver surgery. The aim is to be able to evaluate through experimentation the contribution of a digital guidance tool in complex minimally invasive liver surgery. Precise knowledge of liver anatomy is essential for safe liver resection. When preoperative imaging data are combined with intraoperative data, it is possible to develop guidance software based on augmented reality. The patient then becomes virtually "transparent", enabling the surgeon to locate vessels and tumors that are not directly visible, and which he or she could previously perceive only by touch.

Third-Party Contribution: Providing a privileged test environment, as close as possible to surgeons, to support the development and evaluation of the L-SurgAR solution.
