Surgeons rely on their eyes. Every incision, every stitch, every decision is visual. Yet while minimally invasive procedures benefit from built-in, high-definition video feeds, open surgery remains stubbornly under-recorded. At Nuevata, we believe that’s a problem worth fixing.

The Unmet Need

  • ~80% of surgical cases worldwide are still open procedures

  • Existing solutions borrow action cams, smartglasses or fixed tripods—none built for the OR

  • Top limitations:

    • Excessive motion and unstable footage

    • Poor battery life and data handling

    • Obstructed views and brightness wash-out

Why Open-Surgery Video Changes the Game

  • Training on demand: Replay real cases to dissect technique and anatomy

  • Continuous coaching: Share live or recorded feeds for peer review and mentorship

  • Quality improvement: Analyze errors post-op, reduce adverse events, drive system redesign

Nuevata’s Vision

We’re not selling another camera. We’re building a surgical intelligence platform that:

  • Records every open case in crystal clarity

  • Integrates seamlessly into the OR workflow

  • Enables live teleconferencing and tele-consultation

  • Feeds insight engines for performance enhancement and safety checks

Open-surgery video is cornerstone for modern surgical excellence. Nuevata is on a mission to close this video gap.
