Leading the way in AI-driven post-operative care

As a child, Youssef Helwa (MASc'17)was captivated by his mother’s experiences as a surgeon, listening to stories of the patients she cared for. Those early conversations sparked the vision that would eventually lead to FluidAI. The intersection of artificial intelligence and health care is evolving at an unprecedented pace, reshaping how medical professionals diagnose, monitor and treat patients. Nowhere is this transformation more evident than in post-operative care, where AI is enabling early prediction of complications and improving patient outcomes.  

FluidAI, a Kitchener-Waterloo-based company, is at the forefront of this transformation, developing AI-powered monitoring systems that enhance surgical recovery worldwide.

“Surgeons have long sought a solution to the uncertainties of post-operative complications. Our answer was to develop a hardware platform that uses AI to provide immediate insights right at the bedside,” says Helwa, CEO and co-founder of FluidAI. “By delivering real-time data directly to the clinical setting, our platform helps facilitate early intervention and better patient care.
