  "account": "European startup VitVio is rolling out its AI-powered surgical operating system, Vetro, in Poland through a collaboration with the University Clinical Centre in Gdańsk (UCK), one of the nation's largest public teaching hospitals. Founded in 2024, VitVio leverages computer vision and ambient sensing to generate a live 3D representation of operating rooms. The AI system automates tasks like logging surgical milestones, identifying delays, and providing real-time information to hospital coordinators. Maks Kozarzewski, co-founder and COO of VitVio, explained that the technology will initially be deployed in orthopaedics and neurosurgery operating rooms at UCK Gdańsk, with a broader rollout planned based on pilot results. Vetro captures spatial information using multiple cameras and sensors to create a real-time 3D model of the room, tracking surgical activities and progress. This approach allows the system to identify potential delays and optimize operating room efficiency. Privacy concerns surrounding the technology have been addressed, with VitVio ensuring clinician privacy by focusing on documenting surgical workflows rather than evaluating staff performance. The system processes sensor data on-site, deletes sensitive information, and retains only anonymized clips for system verification. VitVio aims to streamline surgical operations, enabling more time for patient care and training.",
