The company’s platform helps hospital and perioperative leaders mitigate typical OR strains by automating the capture and analysis of intraoperative data. It visualizes, predicts and improves operational performance, according to a news release.
VitVio utilises AI, computer vision and ambient sensing technologies to digitize ORs in 3D and in real-time. Using this input, AI agents automate routine tasks like logging surgical phases and coordinating staff across the perioperative process. The company said its intelligent system delivers real-time estimates for case completion and issues dynamic alerts for deviations from standard procedure.
The platform anonymises patient data at the point of capture and securely handles it with end-to-end encryption. It integrates a secure dashboard within hospital information systems. Altogether, it provides actionable data on utilisation, case flow and resource allocation. This allows hospitals to identify bottlenecks, reduce waste and strengthen scheduling precision.
“Hospitals everywhere are under immense pressure – escalating expenses, demographic shifts, and ongoing staffing constraints are stretching systems to the limit,” said Thomas Knox, co-founder and CEO of VitVio. “VitVio gives hospitals a way out of that cycle. By automating the administrative load that drains time and margin, we help clinicians focus on patients and help hospitals operate sustainably.”
