A system that uses an iPad camera and cloud analytics to help anesthesiologists monitor how much blood a patient is losing during surgery has gotten the FDA’s OK for use in the operating room. Mobile health startup Gauss Surgical said today it plans to begin rolling out its Triton Fluid Management System to hospitals next month. The Triton app uses an iPad camera to scan surgical gauze covered in blood, and sends those images to the cloud where its algorithms go to work. In real-time, the app provides the OR staff with an estimate of how much blood has been collected in the sponges.
