Room State, a module of the OR Black Box, utilizes AI to enhance operating room efficiency by automating the documentation of surgical events and optimizing room capacity. The system captures key milestones such as anesthesia start-stop times and other critical events, integrating data directly into electronic health records without manual input. This reduces the administrative burden on staff and enhances workflow by offering real-time visibility of each surgical suite. Beyond automated documentation, Room State optimizes scheduling through predictive analytics, enabling improved throughput and minimized idle times, which in turn increases surgical volume capacity without needing additional infrastructure. This capability not only maximizes revenue potential but also aligns staff, reducing overtime and burnout, ensuring clinicians can focus on patient care. Additionally, its mobile app empowers staff with up-to-date schedules, allowing dynamic adjustments to accommodate demand, enhancing overall satisfaction among healthcare providers and patients.

The OR Black Box features Case Discovery, an AI-powered surgical case review tool designed to revolutionize quality improvement in medical settings by providing a comprehensive, objective analysis of surgical procedures. By automatically identifying clinical and operational anomalies such as hypotension, hypoxia, or extended turnover times, this technology facilitates early recognition of factors influencing surgical outcomes. Users benefit from detailed audiovisual incident reporting and trend analysis using real-time data alongside historical benchmarks to inform quality improvement initiatives. The system is instrumental in streamlining investigation processes and improving patient outcomes by reducing errors and changing practices in real-time collaborations within the Surgical Safety Network. Research supporting the Case Discover tool highlights its positive contribution to enhancing surgical safety protocols by decreasing mortality rates, shortening hospital stays, and lessening surgical complications. This cutting-edge technology offers a structured approach to elevate clinical practice and boost operational efficiency in operating rooms globally.

The Black Box Platform is an advanced AI-driven clinical intelligence solution aimed at enhancing the delivery of healthcare services. It integrates multimodal data capture with artificial intelligence to offer a comprehensive view of clinical activities, facilitating the objective evaluation of care delivery. Designed to boost transparency and improvement in clinical settings, the platform de-identifies facial images and voices, ensuring privacy and psychological safety. It assists healthcare organizations in gaining insights into safety, quality, and efficiency, and supports existing IT infrastructures through streamlined workflows and seamless integrations with electronic health records and medical equipment. The Black Box Platform is employed across various environments, including operating rooms, trauma centers, and simulation centers, offering tailored solutions such as the OR Black Box, Trauma Black Box, and SIM Black Box to optimize surgical quality, improve trauma resuscitations visibility, and enhance simulation analysis. Its continuous evolution and rigorous testing guarantee accurate and reliable performance across numerous clinical episodes daily.

The Explorer module, part of the Black Box Platform by Surgical Safety Technologies Inc., represents an advanced solution for surgical video content management designed to enhance the educational and operational facets of surgical practices. Explorer utilizes AI to automatically capture, categorize, and store audiovisual surgical data, offering a comprehensive repository without the need for manual inputs. It integrates seamlessly with all video tools in the operating room, including light cameras and endoscopes, to provide a holistic view of surgical procedures. Surgeons can annotate, collaborate, and apply analytics to analyze surgical techniques and patient responses, contributing to improved clinical practices and outcomes. Insightful event identification like procedure segmentation and instrument detection assists surgeons in research and training, while its mobile application ensures on-the-go accessibility to video reviews, further supporting surgical education, research, and performance measurement.
