More than 1,800 devices. Every care setting. One platform, one infrastructure, one foundation for every AI capability that comes next.
Artisight has announced an enterprise agreement with UChicago Medicine to deploy its Smart Hospital Platform across multiple care settings. The implementation includes more than 1,800 devices across the health system, spanning patient rooms, post-anesthesia care units, operating rooms, and its new 575,000-square-foot freestanding cancer care facility, scheduled to open in April 2027.
For Artisight, this agreement represents something worth explaining in detail: what it actually means to deploy a smart hospital platform at true enterprise scale, across every care setting, on a single unified infrastructure.
Why UChicago Medicine, and Why Now
UChicago Medicine is one of the nation’s leading academic health systems, integrating clinical care, research, and medical education across its enterprise. As it continues to expand its clinical footprint, the organization is investing in infrastructure to support care delivery, clinical workflows, and patient safety at scale.
The stakes in an environment like this are high. Academic medical centers carry some of the most complex patient populations in the country alongside active research environments and a responsibility to model what modern care delivery looks like. Technology deployed here needs to be built for that complexity, not despite it.
We are focused on applying this technology in very targeted ways that support our care teams, enhance the patient experience, improve clinical outcomes and reinforce safety. Our goal is to integrate these tools into clinical workflows in a way that reduces administrative burden and allows our teams to spend more time on direct patient care.
One Platform Across Every Care Setting
What makes this deployment notable is not any single use case. It is the breadth of clinical contexts running on the same shared infrastructure. Across the UChicago Medicine enterprise, Artisight’s platform will support:
- Virtual Nursing
- Virtual Sitting
- Smart OR
- Bedside TV
- RTLS Workflow Automation
- Infusion Monitoring
- Ambulatory Support
Â
Every one of these applications runs on the same sensor fabric. Computer vision, voice recognition, and real-time location services create a continuous, intelligent layer across each environment. That shared foundation is what makes it possible to activate new capabilities over time without replacing hardware or onboarding a new vendor.
This is the core of Artisight’s platform argument, and it matters most at enterprise scale. Health systems have spent years accumulating point solutions: one vendor for virtual nursing, another for sitter monitoring, another for RTLS, another for OR documentation. Each carries its own hardware footprint, integration burden, and contract. Artisight replaces that stack with a single platform, a single infrastructure, and a single relationship.
Following the Patient Across Every Care Setting
Most people think of smart hospital technology as something that lives in the patient room. Artisight’s platform is built to follow the patient across the entire care journey: from the patient room through recovery and into the OR, the same infrastructure provides awareness, documentation support, and workflow automation at every stop.
That continuity is what separates a platform from a point solution. A point solution solves one problem in one setting. Artisight’s architecture means a health system can activate Virtual Nursing in the patient room, Smart OR capabilities in the perioperative environment, and Bedside TV engagement at the bedside — all on the same sensor fabric, managed through a single system, without adding vendors or retraining staff.
What the Data Shows
Artisight’s platform is already delivering measurable results across nearly 500 hospitals nationwide. The outcomes reported by health systems using the platform reflect what happens when technology is built around clinical workflows rather than layered on top of them.
78% reduction in patient fall rates
4x improvement in on-time discharges
25+Â minutes returned to nurses per admission or discharge
Care teams also report saving more than 30 minutes per nurse per shift on administrative tasks. These are not pilot results from a single site. They are consistent outcomes across a diverse portfolio of health systems, from large academic medical centers to community hospitals to rural health networks.
Building the Foundation That Scales
Artisight’s platform is designed for health systems that are building, not just optimizing. That means deploying infrastructure that grows with the organization: new facilities come online with clinical intelligence already in place, new use cases activate without replacing hardware, and new AI capabilities can be added without onboarding a new vendor. The platform is the constant. Everything else can evolve on top of it.
The complexity of an academic medical center demands a platform, not a collection of tools. By deploying a single infrastructure across every setting, UChicago Medicine ensures that every clinical team, every new facility, and every AI capability that comes next is built on the same foundation.
This is what enterprise-scale deployment looks like in practice. Not a rollout of one use case to one unit, but a shared infrastructure that stretches across campuses, care settings, and facilities that do not even exist yet. Health systems that build on a platform can activate new capabilities as they become available without adding vendors, without replacing hardware, and without asking their clinicians to learn another system.
