Artisight Expands Collaborations with NVIDIA and KARL STORZ

Artisight, Inc., provider of a Smart Hospital Platform powered by artificial intelligence (AI), is deepening its collaboration with KARL STORZ, a worldwide leader in Operating Room (OR) integration, and NVIDIA, to bring the next generation of AI-driven solutions to smart operating rooms.

This collaboration builds upon the existing work between Artisight and KARL STORZ, now integrating NVIDIA’s advanced AI computing platform to drive real-time surgical insights, automation, and enhanced perioperative efficiency.

Introducing Pathway.AI for Smarter Surgical Workflows

Through this collaboration, KARL STORZ is introducing Pathway.AI, a new solution for the OR that leverages the NVIDIA Jetson™ platform to provide real-time surgical insights to clinicians and hospital administrators. NVIDIA Jetson delivers high-performance AI compute and sensor processing capabilities for energy-efficient edge computing devices and autonomous machines.

Pathway.AI, powered by NVIDIA Jetson, employs computer vision and ambient listening to automate OR and perioperative tasks. For example, it can send automated alerts to staff when a surgery is complete or when an OR requires cleaning, streamlining workflows and improving efficiency.

“Artisight is able to bring these new technologies to ORs and hospitals across the globe with NVIDIA and KARL STORZ,” said Andrew Gostine, MD, CEO and co-founder of Artisight. “Providers and patients are seeing improved outcomes and satisfaction scores that raise the standards of care across the perioperative continuum.”

Enhancing OR Intelligence with NVIDIA AI Computing

Leveraging the NVIDIA AI computing platform, Artisight is advancing its collaboration with NVIDIA by integrating deep learning and clinical operations expertise to optimize the functionality of KARL STORZ’s OR1® integrated operating room technology. These enhancements make operating rooms more intuitive and adaptable to various scenarios.

“We are not just improving operating room efficiency—we are reimagining the entire surgical ecosystem and expanding access to services to eliminate disparities in care,” added Gostine.

Christy Gaudet, Vice President of Sales & Marketing, Surgical and OR1® at KARL STORZ, emphasized the impact of this collaboration:

“By leveraging the combined expertise of the three companies, we are harnessing the power of artificial intelligence to make an immediate impact on OR workflow. Our collaboration will enable healthcare providers to focus more on the most critical aspect of care: the patient.”

Customizable and Secure AI Solutions

Powered by Artisight, Pathway.AI is highly customizable and tailored to each operative suite. Since every institution serves a unique combination of patients, procedures, and clinicians, localized fine-tuning of AI algorithms is essential. Artisight’s proprietary training process has been independently certified as HIPAA-compliant, ensuring patient privacy and clinical autonomy.

Artisight plans to accelerate its innovation by leveraging the latest NVIDIA technologies, including NVIDIA Riva for automatic speech recognition (ASR) and NVIDIA Cosmos Nemotron VLMs to analyze images and videos.

“AI is transforming every industry, and we are only starting to see its profound impact in healthcare,” said David Niewolny, director of business development for medtech at NVIDIA. “By collaborating with Artisight and KARL STORZ, we are shaping the future of healthcare and utilizing our combined capabilities to help medical professionals worldwide work more efficiently and enhance their ability to deliver exceptional care.”

This collaboration marks a significant step forward in AI-powered healthcare solutions, streamlining surgical workflows and improving patient outcomes through automation and real-time insights.
