AI-powered tool enhances workflow, reduces turnover time, and streamlines surgical processes.
Karl Storz has introduced Pathway.AI, an innovative operating room (OR) efficiency tool developed in collaboration with Artisight. Designed to detect and respond to real-time changes in the OR, Pathway.AI aims to optimize workflows, reduce turnover times, and eliminate manual tasks, enhancing overall efficiency.
Key Features of Pathway.AI
- Real-time monitoring: Ambient sensors, microphones, and machine learning algorithms track and analyze OR activities.
- Automated data capture: Streamlines operational processes, prevents delays, and improves resource utilization.
- Customizable and localized: Ensures high accuracy while addressing model drift and privacy concerns with real-time filters.
“Artisight’s expertise in healthcare AI complements Karl Storz’s ability to transform surgical environments,” said Connie Padden, Director of OR Technology Integration at Karl Storz U.S.
A Strategic Move for OR Innovation
Pathway.AI builds on Karl Storz’s recent acquisition of Asensus Surgical, which added the Intelligent Surgical Unit (ISU) and real-time image analytics to its portfolio. Together, these technologies position Karl Storz as a leader in enhancing OR efficiency through AI-driven innovation.
A Pivotal Moment in Healthcare AI
“This partnership represents a pivotal moment in scaling artificial intelligence in healthcare,” said Dr. Andrew Gostine, Artisight co-founder and CEO.
By leveraging AI to streamline surgical workflows, Karl Storz continues its commitment to delivering value in mission-critical environments.
