Acute Aortic Response Platform

Khepre unifies every team required to treat acute aortic dissections.

Replace fragmented phone calls with a single, regionally governed workflow. Khepre guides referrals, shares imaging instantly and keeps consultants, theatres, perfusion and ambulance teams aligned from diagnosis to incision.

Seven pillars of safety

Designed for NHS Aortic Dissection Networks

Regional governance

Coordinated MDT & MDM

Single rota & SPOC

Reliable image transfer

Safe patient transfer

Specialist access for every dissection

Continuous education

Why now

From chaotic phone trees to a simple dashboard

Assess & triage

Before & After

Legacy reality

Multiple calls to find an available registrar delay the decision to move the patient.

With Khepre

Khepre surfaces the live rota, highlights open sites and guides the clinician through a validated referral form.

Escalate to theatre

Before & After

Legacy reality

Consultants manually message bed managers, perfusion and theatre teams with no single source of truth.

With Khepre

One acceptance inside the app instantly updates bed status, alerts theatre teams and prepares perfusion.

Transfer & handover

Before & After

Legacy reality

Ambulance services only join the loop at the final minute, forcing repeat explanations.

With Khepre

Automated notifications package demographics, imaging notes and ETA updates for rapid transport readiness.

Role-based workspaces

Tailored control surfaces for every stakeholder

Interfaces adapt so that clinicians only see what they need in the moment while the platform keeps everyone else informed via notifications, live chat and shared status boards.

A&E Doctors

Frontline

Choose the right surgical site, submit history and monitor referral status without leaving resus.

  • Guided referral forms with imaging attachments
  • Referral board with live status and chat
  • Instant confirmation once a surgical team accepts

Surgical Consultants

Specialists

Shape availability, review structured requests and coordinate with perfusion within a secure workspace.

  • Editable theatre & bed capacity
  • Deep dive into presentation, vitals and media
  • Accept, reject or request more data with one tap

Operations & Site Managers

Control room

Set the pulse of the regional service and keep every downstream team aware of the patient journey.

  • Roster-level controls for multi-site availability
  • Push updates to theatre, perfusion and ambulance
  • Audit-ready event log for every pathway

Screenshot library

Views from each role's dashboard

Referral cockpit

A&E Command Centre

Shows rota-driven hospital availability, structured triage and real-time referral status to keep the resus bay unblocked.

Decision workspace

Surgical Consultant Review

Deep dive into imaging, vitals, live chat and capacity controls before accepting or requesting more information.

Operational board

Site & Theatre Coordination

Bed managers, perfusionists and theatre leads follow transfer status, checklist completions and notifications in one place.

Patient management & live chat

Every referral thread contains structured updates, audit notes and multimedia so no handover detail is missed.

Smart navigation

Dynamic tabs reveal only the controls relevant to the logged in role. Everyone else follows progress seconds later through push notifications.

Media-rich chat

Imaging, vitals and bedside photos are captured next to the conversation so decisions and transfer readiness are transparent.

Future implementation: ambulance command

Once a patient is accepted, ambulance crews receive the data they need to depart immediately.

Pending transfers board

Crews see priority, referring site, vital context and ETA suggestions so every minute is accounted for.

Structured handover updates

Transfers are marked complete with detailed notes, keeping receiving theatres, perfusion and bed managers fully briefed.

Technology

Built for rapid pilots and enterprise scale

Human-first interfaces

  • Expo + React Native for a single iOS & Android codebase
  • Real-time testing through Expo Go keeps delivery fast

Secure & scalable services

  • Django backend served via Uvicorn for async workflows
  • REST + WebSockets power chat, notifications and KPIs
  • SQLite for pilots with a roadmap to PostgreSQL / MySQL

Clinical-grade deployment

  • NHS Care Identity or Microsoft login enforcement
  • Encrypted media loaders ready for cloud storage
  • App store builds orchestrated via Expo EAS pipelines

Roadmap

Future steps

We aim to partner with NHS acute aortic networks to standardise workflows, collect richer data and expand to other surgical pathways.

Hospital and trust-wide pilots with full audit loops
Specialty training pathways to accelerate onboarding
Expanded criteria for ECHO, bloods and blood pressure data
Ambulance-side experience for transfer orchestration
Data exports linked to surgical outcomes for research
