There are around 0,5 million operating rooms globally. Surgeons make roughly 500 million surgical operations every year and yet the global utilisation of operating rooms is only around 40%. This inefficiency creates costs, increases surgery queues and builds up inequality while at the same time the expensive operating rooms are just waiting there to be used.
O-Room is a platform that brings together public hospitals and private healtcare sector to enable more efficient operating room usage. It lowers operational costs and offers additional compensation for all the stakeholders.
O-Room´s main function is to enable operating room renting. It connects the different stakeholders and makes sure that all the professionals taking part in the surgeries have adequate education and professional proficiency. In addition, it collects data for the hospitals how to improve their processes. O-Room does not handle patient data nor does it treat patients. It is fully GDPR compatible.

Insurance companies

Healthcare service providers
O-Room helps private healthcare service providers organise surgeries with lower costs. Instead of building own operating rooms and making heavy investments, O-Room can offer these facilities by renting them from public sector.
