SST Explorer - AI-Driven Surgical Video Content Management Software
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.
In addition to peer-reviewed research, use of Explorer across the globe has proven that surgical video can be used to:
- Improve clinician technical skills
- Increase understanding of surgical performance
- Improve perception of education quality
- Improve clinician non-technical skills
- Improve time to insight
- Improve collaboration and communication
Redefine how you store, access, and utilize surgical video
Video analysis is used by countless industries for performance improvement and surgery is no exception. However, capturing surgical video, building an active video repository, and ensuring video collected is actionable can be challenging.
The Explorer software module automatically captures, categorizes, and stores audiovisual surgical data collected by the Black Box Platform. Within this active video library, surgeons are empowered to annotate, collaborate, and measure performance to improve clinical practice and patient outcomes.
Capture more than typical procedural video
Surgical video captured by Explorer goes beyond robotic video feeds. Explorer provides surgeons with a comprehensive surgical view, pulling data from all video tools leveraged within the OR – light cameras, endoscopes and beyond.
Assess technique and the patient's physiological journey
Understanding surgical performance includes assessing surgical technique and the patient’s physiological response throughout the procedure. Explorer captures it all.
Automatically build a surgical video repository
No need to press start or stop. Explorer automatically captures audiovisual surgical data and compiles it into an actionable repository – no manual inputs or effort required.
Easily turn surgical video into insights
Explorer automatically identifies key events such as procedure segmentation, bleeding, and instrument detection. Surgeons can annotate, clip, and comment on videos and leverage advanced analytics to understand efficiency, assess technique, inform research, and supplement clinical training.
Review video anytime, anywhere with the mobile app
The Explorer mobile app enables deep-dive case reviews on the go, empowering providers to review challenging procedures, assess technique, and measure performance immediately before surgery or during idle time.
