Surgical Safety Technologies has entered into a strategic alliance with Copenhagen University Hospital, Rigshospitalet. The alliance involves the deployment of four OR Black Box systems, designed to enhance surgical safety and patient outcomes.
When
The New York-based patient safety company, Surgical Safety Technologies (SST), was founded in 2014 by Dr Teodor Grantcharov with a clear mission. They want to work for a future where surgery evokes the same trust as stepping onto an airplane – a universally consistent experience. Dr Grantcharov’s invention, the OR Black Box, meticulously records all activity related to the operating room to minimize risks and improve patient outcomes. In this new public-private partnership, SST will supply Copenhagen University Hospital, Rigshospitalet, with four OR Black Box systems to support a culture of high reliability and psychological safety.
The answer to this question lies in Denmark’s unique attributes. With Medicon Valley and the immense ecosystem of life science companies and a renowned public healthcare sector, Denmark was a strong contender for this partnership from the beginning. The decision to collaborate with Rigshospitalet aligns seamlessly with Denmark’s collaborative nature and the hospital’s reputation for world-class health research.
“Through our advanced OR Black Box systems and accompanied data analytics, we aid clinicians in achieving precision and predictability in surgery, ultimately inducing trust. Furthermore, partnering with Rigshospitalet grants us access to high quality healthcare data and Denmark’s homogenous, high-quality healthcare system.”Dr Teodor Grantcharov
Founder of Surgical Safety Technologies
Denmark isn't just another location; it's an exemplary hub for public-private partnerships. Beyond its high quality standards, Denmark’s public system facilitates strong public-private collaboration. Innovation at Rigshospitalet is driven by four principles, one of which is “new partners, new perspectives”. By allowing for collaboration, the hospital’s clinicians aim to break down silo mentalities and obtain new perspectives.
“At Rigshospitalet, we believe that real results emerge through collaboration. Being open for business has contributed to our status as a leading hospital in the world. We look forward to implementing the OR Black Box, and with the new systems, we anticipate being able to reduce inefficiencies and gain deeper insights into our procedures.”Rune Holdt
Chief of Staff in Research and Innovation at Rigshospitalet
Throughout the process, the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ Invest in Denmark has been privileged to provide SST with tailor-made support and guidance. This support includes facilitating strategic introductions, connections, logistics support, and specific data to prove the claim about Denmark.
“We are thrilled to have played a pivotal role in Surgical Safety Technologies’ decision to partner with the renowned Rigshospitalet. This collaboration stands as a direct testament to Denmark’s exceptional appeal as a hub for medtech investments as well as the substantial value that public-private partnerships in Denmark can add to both parties.”Vanessa Vega Saenz
Director at Invest in Denmark
