CASE STUDIES

Pilot programmes, in their own words.

Long-form write-ups from the partner sites running AURORA in clinical workflow. What changed, what didn't, what surprised them. We publish the cases that worked alongside the ones that didn't.

I · The cohort

Six programmes so far.

Studies are co-authored with the partner site. Pilot is rolling — new write-ups land monthly.

GOSHAURORA-CRANIO

Reducing pre-op CT exposure in single-suture craniosynostosis

Photo + 3D scan triage cut CT exposure across the year-one cohort. The remaining CTs were the cases where the team genuinely needed the bone window.

KarolinskaAURORA-GLIO

Same-week integrated WHO 2021 diagnosis on routine paths

Bringing molecular, histology and imaging into one signed report compressed the tumor-board lead time and surfaced two cases of subtype disagreement that changed treatment.

NeckerAURORA-SPINA

Prenatal decision packets co-built with fetal medicine

AURORA-SPINA produced family-ready decision packets the team could hand directly to parents. Comprehension scores improved; counselling time per family went up — by design.

CharitéAURORA-HYDRO

Compartment-model calibration for adult iNPH

Adult normal-pressure hydrocephalus is under-served by paediatric priors. Re-calibrating HYDRO-COMPDECIDE on the Charité cohort lifted responder identification meaningfully.

AIIMSAURORA-ENCEPH

Forge-planned frontoethmoidal closures in an LMIC setting

Patient-specific phantom printing changed the operative conversation. Aesthetic scores rose; theatre-time variance dropped; the lessons fed back into ENCEPH-FORGE.

Boston Children'sAURORA-CRANIO

Neurodevelopmental endpoints, not just morphometry

Committing to school-age cognitive outcomes — not just head-shape metrics — reshaped CRANIO-NEURODEVELOPMENT and the protocol the rest of the module ships under.

II · How a study gets written

Co-authored by default.

Every AURORA case study is co-authored by the partner site and the module team. We do not write about a programme without it; we do not let a site write something we cannot defend. Three things end up in every study:

  • Baseline. What the workflow looked like before AURORA, in numbers we agree on up front.
  • Intervention. Which subsystem(s) deployed, which surfaces were used, who was in the room.
  • What changed — and what didn't. Including the things that surprised us. Especially those.

If a study would have a negative or null result, we publish it. The default is openness; opt-outs are reasoned and documented.
