How Nerve Trace will become a critical tool for AI-guided anatomical mapping. Read about ways AI can play a vital role in advancing surgical medicine through AI segmentation used for digital anatomical maps, 3D reconstruction of nerves, and developing population-scale anatomical modeling. Moreover, beyond surgery, Nerve Trace will help to build the ground truth data infrastructure to power the future of AI-guided medicine.

This blog post covers the underlying cost of nerve damage to patients, payers, and hospitals. It discusses reasons why nerve injury is underreported, leading to short-term and long-term consequences for patients post-operatively. Finally, it dives into how Trace Biosciences is working to help patients and hospitals reduce the risk and cost of nerve damage. Read for more information!

In this post, we interview co-founders Connor Barth, Ph.D., and Summer Gibbs, Ph.D. to outline the story of how Trace Biosciences came to be: from graduate research to clinical translation. Their mentor-mentee relationship at OHSU laid the foundation for Trace with their shared commitment to turning scientific insight into real-world impact by reshaping surgery through their fluorescent imaging agents.
