AI That Documents So Surgeons Don’t Have To

Artisight’s ambient intelligence captures procedural milestones, timeouts, and debriefs in real time, then generates accurate Op Notes that flow directly into Epic. Surgeons can review annotated recordings, and educators can use the same system to train residents and monitor performance.

“The platform lets us focus on surgery, not on the keyboard.”

Smart Operating Room Use Cases

Intelligent support where care happens most

Artisight’s Smart Operating Room supports surgical teams, perioperative leaders, and operations staff with real-time intelligence that improves coordination, efficiency, and clinical focus all without disrupting workflows.
Artisight provides AI-driven workflow intelligence that allows surgical leaders to review procedural timelines, key events, and performance metrics, all without storing video or audio recordings. These insights support quality improvement initiatives, resident education, and peer collaboration while preserving privacy.

Functioning like an air traffic control system for surgery, Artisight automatically generates OR timestamps and delivers real-time notifications to the right teams at the right time. All relevant data flows into the EHR, ensuring accurate utilization tracking, consistent documentation, and a shared source of truth across perioperative operations.

Key outcomes: fewer delays, improved start-time accuracy, standardized documentation

Surgical case length prediction: Artisight improves surgical scheduling accuracy by refining case length predictions. By analyzing historical patterns and unstructured clinical data, the platform helps teams better anticipate how patient complexity and pathology may impact procedure duration to reduce overruns and improve schedule reliability.

Artisight enables a centralized Smart OR Control Desk that gives staff real-time visibility into surgical activity across rooms. By eliminating workflow blind spots and reducing reliance on manual status updates, teams can proactively manage delays, optimize room utilization, and drive measurable operating room ROI.


Key outcomes: improved throughput, reduced idle time, better coordination across departments

Artisight is advancing AI-driven operative note automation by synthesizing data from multiple sensors and workflow signals. This capability is designed to generate accurate, structured operative notes with minimal manual input to reduce cognitive burden and free surgeons to focus on patient care.

Artisight supports secure, real-time OR teleconsult that allows surgeons, anesthesiologists, and care teams to connect with colleagues or patients remotely when appropriate. This capability enables new care models, supports intraoperative collaboration, and enhances communication without interrupting the surgical workflow.

Key outcomes: expanded access to expertise, improved communication, greater clinical flexibility

Using ambient voice and event detection, Artisight automatically captures and documents surgical timeouts and debriefs in real time. This ensures accuracy, supports WHO safety standards, and integrates seamlessly into the EHR to allow teams to stay focused on the procedure, not paperwork.

Artisight uses RTLS and ambient sensing to track staff, patients, and critical equipment throughout the OR environment. This real-time visibility helps reduce delays, improve resource allocation, and support more efficient surgical operations.

Key outcomes: faster turnovers, fewer equipment delays, improved financial performance

Scale Surgical Intelligence in Phases

Just like patient rooms, the OR evolves through Artisight’s five levels of implementation, allowing hospitals to start small and scale confidently.

Level 1

Visibility

Enable live camera and data visibility across surgical suites.

Level 2

Coordination

Automate notifications and communication between surgical teams and support departments.

Level 3

Assistance

Introduce ambient documentation and video annotation for Op Notes and QA.

Level 4

Prediction

Use AI to predict case duration, equipment needs, and staffing requirements.

Level 5

Automation

System documents, alerts and coordinates with the team in real time to provide fully autonomous workflow orchestration

Proven Results in Real Surgical Environments

16% sustained productivity gain after deployment

Improved throughput and reduced OR downtime

Automated documentation into the EHR, reducing administrative burden on surgical staff.

Achieved system-wide efficiency with cross-department automation

Recognized as CHIME Innovator of the Year

Saved over $7 million in cost savings by automating administrative workflow and expanding remote nursing.

Reduced patient falls and sitter hours across perioperative units

Enhanced staff satisfaction and communication

Expanded system-wide rollout: Program scaled to over 1,000 beds following successful pilot results.

“We can see every room, every procedure, and every transition — all in real time. It’s completely changed how we manage the day.”

OR Director, Silver Cross Hospital

“Our teams trust the data because they see it working. Cases move faster, and everyone communicates more clearly.”

— Chief of Surgery, Guthrie Clinic

Frequently Asked Questions

About Smart Operating Rooms

A smart operating room uses ambient intelligence, computer vision, and AI to automatically understand what’s happening during surgery. Instead of relying on manual updates or retrospective documentation, the OR becomes a continuously aware environment that supports clinical teams in real time and generates actionable operational insights.

Yes. Smart operating rooms use AI and machine learning to predict how long a surgical case will take based on real-world data from your facility. The system analyzes historical procedure data, surgeon-specific patterns, patient characteristics, procedure complexity, and scheduling factors to generate accurate time estimates.

As the day progresses, predictions update in real time as cases finish early or run long. This allows teams to proactively adjust schedules, resequence cases, and communicate changes before delays cascade. Hospitals using predictive scheduling can reduce overtime, improve staff planning, and increase OR utilization by fitting cases more accurately into available time.

Yes. Artisight’s AI has been trained on more than 500,000 procedures across over 50 surgical specialties. This broad training allows the platform to adapt to different workflows, case types, and clinical environments while still learning the unique patterns of each hospital and surgical team.
Yes. Smart operating rooms support patient safety by continuously monitoring procedural milestones and safety checkpoints. The system helps reinforce surgical safety checklists, supports automated time-out verification, reduces the risk of wrong-site surgery, and improves visibility into instrument and supply usage so teams can focus on the procedure with confidence.
Yes. Smart OR technology tracks supplies and instruments in real time, helping hospitals understand what is actually used during procedures. This insight reduces over-prepping, minimizes waste, and supports more accurate case carts and inventory planning, which lowers supply costs without impacting care quality.
No. Artisight does not store video or audio recordings. The platform analyzes sensor data in real time to detect events and generate insights, ensuring privacy while still delivering meaningful intelligence.
Artisight automatically captures timestamps and procedural milestones and integrates them into perioperative documentation workflows. This reduces manual charting, improves accuracy, and eliminates the need for staff to document events after the fact.
Yes. Artisight is designed to integrate with existing OR technologies, perioperative systems, and any EHR. The platform enhances current workflows rather than replacing them.
By analyzing real-time and historical OR data, Artisight identifies patterns that impact case duration, turnover times, and delays. These insights help teams plan more accurately, reduce idle time, and increase overall OR utilization.
Surgeons, perioperative nurses, anesthesia teams, OR managers, and health system leaders all benefit—each gaining role-specific visibility into performance, coordination, and efficiency without added work.
