AI-powered vision tracking, LED guidance, and voice-activated retrieval — from shelf to OR, with a complete audit trail.
Patent pending technology
The Challenge & Our Solution
Staff hunt through hundreds of similar packages to find the right implant
Similar packaging leads to selection errors — a "never event" requiring repeat surgery
Outdated stock discovered during prep causes delays and emergency reorders
You don't know what's on the shelf until you physically look
ML identifies items and tracks position — no barcodes, RFID, or fixed slots
Progressive illumination guides staff directly to the correct shelf position
Hands-free retrieval for sterile compliance — natural language, fuzzy matching
Real-time pick confirmation with complete audit trail from order to use
Where the wrong lens means a second surgery. Our first deployment tackles the highest-stakes inventory challenge in ophthalmology.
Alcon, J&J Vision, Bausch + Lomb, STAAR, Zeiss — no proprietary tagging or relabeling.
Automatic FEFO (First Expired, First Out) prioritization with proactive alerts before lenses expire.
Updates automatically with every placement and retrieval — no manual counting ever.
Every transaction documented automatically for inspection readiness and quality assurance.
Coming Soon
Same platform technology for catheter, stent, and high-value cardiac device tracking.
About Surgislate
Founder & CEO
Board-Certified Ophthalmologist · 20+ Years Clinical Experience
A practicing cataract surgeon with clinical affiliations at Mount Sinai Hospital and Jamaica Hospital Medical Center in New York. Trained at NYU School of Medicine (Chief Resident) and Brookdale University Hospital. Inventor on an issued U.S. patent for a diagnostic tonometry system. After years of cancelled surgeries, near-miss wrong-IOL events, and frustration with RFID limitations uncovered through industry consulting, he built a vision-based, manufacturer-agnostic system to solve the problem. Also serves as an ophthalmology clinical preceptor at Touro University.
Surgislate was built by a surgeon who lives with the inventory problem every day. After observing the failure of barcode and RFID solutions to gain adoption in clinical settings, our founder combined surgical expertise with AI and computer vision to build a system that actually fits real-world workflows — no tags, no scanning, no predetermined slots.
"To eliminate preventable surgical errors through intelligent inventory systems that integrate seamlessly with clinical practice."
