عليأهلاًHelloSyrian and Iraqi, with Palestine in my heart.

Ally Fattal.
Medic – Engineer.

I'm a medical student with an MSc in Healthcare Technologies (AI). I'm drawn to surgery, especially ENT, and my research looks at how AI can help in the operating theatre. In my free time I like building things that help people.

AI for the operating theatre

My research looks at how we can use AI in surgery, mainly with computer vision and multi-agent systems: teaching models to follow an operation from video and from where the surgeon is looking. ENT is where I want to take it.

  • Multi-agent systems
  • Surgical phase recognition
  • Eye-tracking
  • Augmented reality

Where I want to operate. Turn it, peel back the layers, or slice down through it.

The future of surgery

The goal: change the future of surgery.

What I love is helping AI understand what is actually happening in an operation: seeing it through computer vision, and making sense of it with multi-agent systems that reason about it together. That's how I think we change surgery. Along the way I've also worked in the medtech industry, on augmented reality and surgical AI with XRlabs.

Apps I build in my free time, to help people with everyday things.

Synodia

Letterboxd for places.

A personal record of the places you go, which happens to be social. Save places, rate them out of ten, plan days in the order you'll walk them, and see your friends' maps next to yours. DM a reel to @synodia.place and its places land on your map.

Send it a reel: the places from a reel, each with what the reel said about it
Every city, its own page: London
See where your friends went
Lists worth sending
Synodia on the web, with a map of London, and on the phone

Assistant Bud

A weekly planner and a task manager in one.

A week view with task buckets beside it. Drag a task onto a day to schedule it, or back into a bucket to unschedule it. Habits, goals, notes and events sit in the same app, it links to the calendars you already use, and it comes in themes, from calm StudyProof colours to a whole neon city. On the web, Android and iOS.

Pick a look

A neon city, calm StudyProof colours, or a cat called Whisker.

Magpie

A shelf for the tools I find while scrolling.

Send it an Instagram reel or a LinkedIn post and a worker reads the repo, writes the summary and files the tool by the kind of work it's for. Claude reads the shelf over MCP when it picks tools for a project. That's how this site was built.

٤Beta

StudyProof

“Have you sent your proof today?”

Record a timelapse of your study session, share it with your group, and hold each other to it. Real proof, real progress.

EZ Reviews

Research, done for you.

Tell it what you're studying. It searches PubMed, Semantic Scholar and OpenAlex at once, downloads the open-access papers into a library, and runs analysis grounded in those papers: synthesis, research gaps, study mode.

عنّيAbout

The ward and the workshop

I'm Ally. I'm a medical student at King's College London with an MSc in Healthcare Technologies, focused on AI. I'm drawn to surgery, especially ENT, and my research looks at how we can use AI in surgery, mainly with computer vision and multi-agent systems. In the evenings I build apps: for studying, for planning my week, and for the places I go.
