Bengaluru-based healthtech startup Curium Life is developing surgical intelligence tools to improve precision and reduce operative complications during procedures. Founded in 2023 by paediatric surgeon Dr Vinayak Rengan and Balachandran Seetharaman, the startup is building a foundation model for surgical applications. Its first product, SurgiMeasure, deploys computer vision and deep learning models to deliver real-time anatomical distance and spatial measurements during laparoscopic and robotic surgeries. The technology addresses 2D laparoscopic camera limitations where manual estimation causes roughly 30% measurement errors, acting as a real-time spatial navigation assistant for operating rooms worldwide.
