AI-Powered Documentation. Intraoperative. Hands-Free. Hassle-Free

The Global Surgical Crisis

Across the globe, surgical teams are stretched to their limits.

Surgeons spend hours every day on post-operative notes. One study showed general surgery residents logged 23.7 hours/week in the EHR—with a quarter of that time after hours. This contributes to burnout rates nearing 47%, and up to 77% in ENT specialties.

Heavy documentation isn’t just a paperwork problem—it’s a workforce crisis accelerant.

1.2 million more surgical professionals needed by 2030 just to meet basic care standards 
(Daniels et al., 2015)
In the UK, half of surgeons considered leaving their jobs in the past year
In Nigeria, there are only 1.8 surgeons per 100,000 people 
(Seyi-Olajide et al., 2021)
Canada’s orthopedic surgery wait times average 57 weeks (Moir & Barua, 2024)
Even in the U.S., 1 in 3 patients can’t access timely surgical care 
(Mullens et al., 2025)

Introducing Sahara-Surgical

The world’s first ambient Intraoperative surgical note assistant

What if you had a surgical scribe who never missed a detail, never took a break, and knew medical language like a pro? While you operate, it listens silently to your narration, understands context, filters out noise, and produces a draft post-op note before you leave the room.

No more scribbling hours later. Just accurate, structured notes—done before you’re even scrubbed out.

How It Works

A discreet mic (e.g., AirPods or clip
-on) captures the surgeon’s verbal
narration during surgery.

Understand

AI filters out noise, irrelevant chatter, and
interruptions—understanding context and
medical language in real time

Generate

Post-surgery, the AI creates a draft
surgical note, formatted and structured—
ready for quick review and submission.
