Captured automatically: robotic, laparoscopic, and endoscopic surgical video
One operating room, dozens of surgical hardware vendors
Operating rooms are filled with hardware from dozens of vendors – different camera vendors, device vendors, consumable vendors, the list goes on. Take camera systems, for example. You have robotic systems (with many more coming to market), straight-stick laparoscopic towers, and flexible endoscopic towers. Sometimes, all in the same OR.
Can one of those existing camera vendors automatically capture all of those video feeds? Nope. Not today, and likely not ever.
Leveraging software from these hardware companies means that some videos are being captured today, but not routinely and definitely not automatically.

Why? That’s because existing hardware vendors are not set up to do this. In fact, surgeons often still use thumb drives to capture and store videos. Rewind a few decades and it’s how people used to burn songs onto a CD to play in their car, instead of streaming millions of songs at the click of a button.

Theator: One software for all your hardware
Simple. It’s already here.
How can we bring video capture into the 21st century?
To automate routine video capture – robotic, laparoscopic, and endoscopic – you need a deep-tech, hardware-agnostic solution. Enter: Theator.
Whether your hospital uses a daVinci robot, a Stryker camera, or an Olympus endoscope, Theator’s Surgical Intelligence Platform records, de-identifies and stores all of these surgical videos, automatically – without even pressing a button.

Better yet, you can access all of your videos, on-demand, at any time, in our app. Capturing the video is just the beginning. From there, so much value can be extracted, if, and only if, videos are structured and connected to outcomes. Spoiler alert: we do that, too.
