Theator, the surgical intelligence platform using AI and computer vision to improve surgeon performance, has announced a new collaboration with Mayo Clinic.
The collaboration will enable Theator to broaden the capabilities of its surgical intelligence platform for use in the fields of urology and gynaecology.
The strategic collaboration follows Mayo Clinic’s investment in Theator’s $15.5 million Series A funding round earlier this year. Theator’s AI-powered platform streamlines surgical video capture and analysis, transforming unstructured video data into indexed insights according to surgical steps, events, milestones, and decisions.
Based on one of the world’s largest databases of annotated surgical video material, Theator’s platform allows surgeons to share insights with one another, bolster their own skill sets, and optimally relay best practices to the next generation of physicians – ultimately reducing variability in surgical care. Mayo Clinic’s collaboration with Theator demonstrates its commitment to cultivating relationships with leading providers of cutting-edge medical technology to improve surgical performance.
Dr Tamir Wolf, CEO and co-founder of Theator, said: “We are thrilled to be collaborating with Mayo Clinic in order to access a rich array of insights from world-class urology and gynaecology departments, with the goal of broadening our experience in order to tackle the pressing problems of disparity and variability in surgical care today. Our strategic collaboration with an institution that has such a reputation for excellence will deepen our visual and contextual understanding of surgical best practices and enable us to refine and develop our preoperative preparation and postoperative debrief Surgical Intelligence platform, helping surgeons around the world upskill and raise the standards of care for even more patients.”
