## Startup Overview

This system ingests live endoscopy video feeds and instantly structures the visual data into completed diagnostic reports. Gastroenterologists and surgical departments use the software to eliminate the tedious process of post-procedure documentation. By analyzing the optical feed as the procedure happens, the system extracts clinical findings, anatomical landmarks, and intervention details directly into standardized medical formats.

Traditional workflows force clinicians to rely on manual dictation, inflexible EHR templates, or legacy software like ProVation Medical, which demand hours of data entry after procedures conclude. Instead, this solution processes the surgical video in real time, drafting the documentation before the scope is even withdrawn. Facilities pay strictly per completed diagnostic report, aligning the cost directly with clinical output rather than fixed software licensing fees.

## Startup Founding Hypothesis

**Approach**: that structures endoscopy video feeds into standard diagnostic reports
**Competitors**:
- [manual dictation](/Competitors/manual_dictation)
- [ProVation Medical](/Competitors/ProVation_Medical)
- [standard EHR templates](/Competitors/standard_EHR_templates)
**Differentiator2x2**: capable of real-time video processing and priced per completed diagnostic report

## Startup Proof Points

_Illustrative — target and order-of-magnitude estimate figures, not an achieved track record (this Thing is concept-stage)._

**Pilot Goals**:
- 30-day single-facility outpatient pilot: Prove the system delivers initial report drafts within 60 seconds of video termination and measure the exact reduction in manual physician dictation time.
- 90-day hospital network integration pilot: Deploy the on-premise edge device across multiple suites to verify 100 percent compliance with standardized gastroenterology taxonomies without a single PHI firewall incident.
**Target Metrics**:
- Target: 70 percent reduction in post-procedure physician documentation time
- Aim: 100 percent compliance with standardized gastroenterology reporting taxonomies
- Target: 60-second maximum turnaround time for initial report drafts following video feed termination
**Target Case Studies**:
- Independent outpatient endoscopy center: Eliminating manual dictation by generating automated HL7 and FHIR text objects directly from raw video feeds, reducing post-procedure documentation bottlenecks without disrupting existing EHR workflows.
- Regional health system: Standardizing Boston Bowel Preparation Scale scoring and polyp morphology mapping across 5,000 monthly procedures using an on-premise edge device to guarantee zero PHI firewall breaches.
**Testimonial Targets**:
- Chief of Gastroenterology: Validating that the timestamped video frames paired with flagged findings make report verification faster and safer than manual dictation.
- Hospital IT Security Director: Confirming the on-premise edge deployment satisfies strict PHI firewall policies while seamlessly layering alongside legacy systems like ProVation.
- Outpatient Center Administrator: Highlighting that the pay-per-diagnostic-report usage model removes financial risk and scales predictably with daily procedure volume.

## Startup Top Risks

**Risks**:
- Severity: existential · Description: Dominant EHR systems and legacy vendors like ProVation block API access, preventing the automated diagnostic reports from being written to patient records. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: high · Description: The FDA classifies the real-time video processing system as a Class II Software as a Medical Device, requiring lengthy clinical trials before commercial deployment. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: high · Description: Variable endoscopy cart hardware and local hospital network constraints introduce latency that breaks the real-time processing capability. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: moderate · Description: Gastroenterologists distrust the auto-generated clinical text and spend more time editing the output than they would using their existing manual dictation workflows. · Mitigation Status: in-progress

## Startup Business Definition

**Name**: Abdominal Scan Triage for Radiology Clinicss
**Layers**:
- **Thesis**: Headless SaaS
- **Template**: api-business
- **Buyer Chain**: B2B -> Radiology IT Director -> PACS Automated Router -> Radiologist
**Vision**:
- **Vision**: Radiology Clinics no longer carry the cost of abdominal scan triage; the work runs reliably in the background, and the team that used to do it is free for higher-leverage work in radiology clinics.
- **Mission**: ship the API surface that solves abdominal scan triage for Radiology Clinics.
**Industry**: Radiology Clinics
**Coord Href**: /Startups/Abdominal
**Processes**:
- Name: Customer Intake · Owner: startup-cs-onboarding · Category: core · Description: Capture a new customer's signup or sales hand-off and route them into onboarding. · Added By Layer: operate-baseline
- Name: API Request Lifecycle · Owner: delivery-platform-engineer · Category: core · Description: Each API call lands, is served, is observed against SLOs. · Added By Layer: thesis
**Workflows**:
- Name: On New Customer Signup · Description: Event-driven: a new customer signs up → kick off onboarding + record the founding-OKR KR event. · Added By Layer: operate-baseline
- Name: On SLO Breach · Description: API SLO budget breach → escalate to API reliability + capture incident. · Added By Layer: thesis
**Departments**:
- Id: delivery-headless-saas · Code: DEL · Name: Delivery (Headless SaaS — API/Platform) · Description: Delivery primitives for a Headless SaaS Thesis (ADR 0034 §3 + §4 graduation exception). API/platform + DX Positions are Startup-internal pre-graduation because the product IS the software it ships. · Added By Layer: thesis
- Id: startup-operate · Code: OPS-S · Name: Operate (Startup-specific shared services) · Description: Per-Startup operate functions — Customer Success, Marketing, Revenue/Sales, Customer Ops. The Studio default carries portfolio-wide bookkeeping/AP/AR/tax/legal-prep (#239); this overlay adds the Startup-specific operate Positions that have to exist in every operating company. The four-layer specialization (Thesis/Template/spine/Buyer-Chain) then shapes these seats to the Startup's actual shape — additions/overrides happen in those layers, not here. · Added By Layer: operate-baseline
**Description**: An operating company shipping an API/platform that solves abdominal scan triage for radiology clinicss.
**Founding Okr**:
