PointCaré

AI-powered precision for critical care.

PointCaré is a Ghent-based medtech company building explainable AI systems that help clinicians make faster, safer, and more informed decisions in high-acuity environments such as operating rooms and intensive care units. Founded in Ghent in 2022, PointCaré brings together clinicians, engineers, and scientists with a shared mission: augmenting critical-care teams through transparent, context-aware intelligence.

Mission

Critical-care environments generate enormous volumes of data from monitors, ventilators, infusion pumps, electronic records, and other medical systems. While these technologies provide valuable information, clinicians are often required to integrate fragmented signals under extreme time pressure.

PointCaré develops AI systems that transform this complexity into actionable clinical insight while keeping healthcare professionals firmly in control of decision-making. The company believes AI should think with clinicians, not for them.

OnTarget

OnTarget is PointCaré's flagship platform for intelligent decision support in critical care.

The platform is designed to:

• Aggregate and interpret real-time physiological and clinical data
• Provide contextual recommendations tailored to the patient and situation
• Support earlier recognition of deterioration and perioperative instability
• Reduce information overload and alarm fatigue
• Deliver transparent, explainable reasoning rather than opaque black-box outputs

PointCaré combines modern AI techniques—including large language models, natural language processing, and proprietary agentic AI approaches—to build systems whose recommendations remain traceable and understandable to healthcare professionals.

Explainable AI for Healthcare

Trust and accountability are essential in medicine.

PointCaré focuses on explainable AI, ensuring that recommendations can be linked to an understandable reasoning process rather than hidden statistical behavior. This approach aims to improve clinician confidence, facilitate adoption, and align with the stringent requirements of healthcare environments.
