Surgery Hero (formerly Sapien Health Limited) is a London‑headquartered digital clinic delivering personalised pre‑ and post‑operative programmes via the Surgery Hero app. Members receive programmes tailored to their individual surgical risk factors and are paired with an expert human health coach to turn guidance into action. The company is currently commissioned by 10% of Integrated Care Systems in the UK and is committed to providing over 8,000 programmes to people awaiting surgery. A collaboration with South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust found programme participants had an average hospital stay one day shorter, representing a £273 cost saving per patient. Founded in May 2020, Surgery Hero plans to scale its solution using machine learning and to establish a foothold in the US market. The business has seen increased demand driven by growing surgical waiting lists related to the COVID‑19 pandemic and has a stated mission to help 100 million people have successful surgery.
