C-SATS provides a cloud-based performance management system that uploads operating-room video to a secure server and uses an algorithm to match recordings with procedure-specific assessment tools. The platform dispatches vetted, trained experts (including non-surgeons) who are paid to review videos and assess surgical performance, completing reviews within two to three hours. C-SATS positions this workflow as faster, less biased, and far less costly than conventional peer review, arguing it can improve surgeon skill, productivity, compliance, and help reduce costs for hospitals. The company markets a software-as-a-service model and pays reviewers per assessment; customers named in the article include Seattle Children’s Hospital, University of Toronto, University of Connecticut, Virginia Mason, Ford Health System, and Florida Hospital Nicholson Center. The startup spun out of the University of Washington, is headquartered in Seattle’s University District, and has been on the market for about nine months. Financially, C-SATS recently raised $2.5 million and has also received grant funding from the Wallace H. Coulter Foundation and the University of Washington.
