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.
