Definition Health: Advancing Global Surgical Care Through Predictive AI and Value-Based Solutions
Definition Health, a clinician-led HealthTech company, is redefining surgical care by integrating predictive AI technology to enhance outcomes, streamline workflows, and reduce costs across the surgical journey—from pre-operative planning to recovery. Demonstrating proven success within the NHS, Definition Health is now poised for international expansion, offering value-based care solutions tailored to meet the critical challenges faced by modern healthcare systems.
Founded by orthopedic surgeon Dr. Sandeep Chauhan, with over two decades of clinical expertise, and radiologist Dr. Rosie Scott, a recognized NHS Clinical Entrepreneur, Definition Health emerged from a vision to modernize surgical care and relieve the inefficiencies burdening clinicians and patients alike. Using proprietary data from over 400,000 surgeries, Definition Health has developed predictive models that optimize care, reduce surgical risk, and enable efficient resource allocation.
Key features of Definition Health’s platform include:
– AI-Driven Predictive Analytics: By incorporating machine learning into clinical workflows, the platform enhances pre-op planning, reduces complications, and accelerates patient recovery.
– Cost Savings and Workflow Efficiency: The platform’s streamlined processes have already saved the NHS approximately $2.6 million per 40,000 patients by minimizing surgical cancellations.
– Scalable Model for Global Health Systems: Success in the NHS, the world’s largest single-payer system, highlights the platform’s capacity to deliver value-based care at scale.
As U.S. hospitals face growing financial pressures, with elective surgeries accounting for 48% of gross revenue, Definition Health’s platform addresses both clinical and economic needs. In an environment where nearly 40% of U.S. hospitals operate at a loss, Definition Health’s solutions are particularly valuable. The company is leveraging the growing demand for outpatient surgical care and staffing shortages in the U.S. by integrating AI-powered tools that optimize workflows and mitigate healthcare costs.
With its recent entry into the UK-Florida Life Sciences Trade Corridor, Definition Health is well-positioned to connect with Florida’s leading healthcare institutions, accelerating its growth in the U.S. market. To support this strategic expansion, the company has opened a Series A funding round aimed at fostering U.S. partnerships and scaling operations in high-demand regions. By integrating predictive analytics with seamless clinical applications, Definition Health is not only advancing surgical care but is also setting a new standard for efficiency and patient-centered outcomes across healthcare systems worldwide.
“We saw firsthand how fragmented the surgical care process was, leading to delays, cancellations, and complications,” said Dr. Chauhan. “Our platform streamlines the entire surgical journey, surfacing actionable patient data to clinicians, enabling them to intervene earlier and make more informed decisions, resulting in better outcomes for patients.”
