Measure Surgical Quality from What Actually Happened.

Quality measurement grounded in the procedure, not chart abstractions, not proxy measures.
Every surgical video becomes structured, objective quality data.

You Can't Improve What You Can't See.

Quality today is reactive and measured through proxies: complication rates, readmissions, length of stay. Downstream signals that say something went wrong, not why. Inside the OR, where quality is determined, there's been no systematic measurement. That's why variability persists.

Quality Analytics

Surgeon, department, and system-level dashboards from intraoperative video.

Variability Tracking

Variability Tracking

30–50% reduction across sites. Objective technique measurement.

The Evidence

Annals of Surgery

Annals of Surgery (Korndorffer et al., 2020)

Foundational positioning paper establishing the clinical case for AI in the operating room — safety, efficiency, and quality as primary drivers.

Annals of Surgery

Annals of Surgery (Fried et al., 2024)

First real-world use of surgical intelligence for best-practice adoption. 279 cholecystectomies, 46 surgeons. CVS 33% → 76% (P < 0.001). CVS cases 13 min shorter, fewer adverse events6.

JMIG

Journal of Minimally Invasive Gynecology (Levin et al., 2024)

Routine automated assessment using surgical intelligence reveals substantial time spent outside the patient's body in minimally invasive gynecological surgeries.

Artificial Intelligence Surgery

Artificial Intelligence Surgery (Messer et al., 2025)

Research at scale using structured surgical video data.

Measurement → Improvement

When surgeons see their own performance data grounded in video evidence and objective data, they change their behavior. Safety adoption tripled. Case times dropped. Adverse events decreased. Not just a dashboard. Visibility that drives improvement.
