Surgical Safety Technologies (SST), the global leader in AI-driven clinical intelligence, announced the general availability of two breakthrough mobile applications that revolutionise how surgeons interact with operating room data and surgical video content. The Room State and Explorer apps, both powered by SST's flagship Black Box Platform, deliver unprecedented mobility and convenience to surgical teams while creating a comprehensive ecosystem that enhances OR efficiency, surgical education, and physician workflow.
"Traditional methods of accessing OR schedule updates and surgical video content are fundamentally incompatible with the dynamic nature of surgical practice," said Peter Grantcharov, Chief Technology Officer at SST. "These mobile applications represent a paradigm shift that puts the power of our AI-driven platform directly into surgeons' hands, enabling them to stay connected, informed, and productive whether they're moving between cases, teaching residents, or reviewing techniques at home."
Room State transforms surgical communication by replacing unreliable human-driven updates with AI-powered, event-driven notifications that eliminate delays and missed messages. Unlike traditional systems that burden nursing staff with manual data entry and timestamp management, Room State's intelligent platform automatically detects case milestones, updates the electronic health record (EHR), and communicates critical events, freeing nurses to focus on patient care rather than administrative tasks. The application delivers minute-by-minute updates, AI-driven predictive insights for case duration and completion times, and de-identified live room visuals directly to providers' mobile devices. Surgeons gain access to a comprehensive daily dashboard with complete schedule visibility, real-time case progress tracking, and instant notifications for case starts, room changes, and preceding case completions. Live room view capabilities enable surgeons to monitor turnover or in-progress cases through real-time images, ensuring they never make unnecessary trips to the operating room or experience unproductive idle waiting.
