In most hospitals, surgical video is treated like a passive artifact—recorded, archived, and rarely revisited. But when designed with intention, video becomes something far more powerful: a clinical utility, a mentorship tool, a safety layer, and a data asset.

At Nuevata, we believe surgical video should do more than capture. It should communicate, educate, guide, and protect. Here’s how we’re rethinking its role across the surgical ecosystem.

Communication: From Isolation to Collaboration

Modern surgery is no longer confined to four walls. With the right infrastructure, surgical video becomes a bridge—connecting clinicians, conferences, and consults in real time.

• Teleconferencing: Live-streaming intraoperative video to surgical conferences enables real-time dialogue, case walkthroughs, and global mentorship.

• Teleconsultation: Surgeons in geographically distinct locations can collaborate mid-procedure, sharing insights and making joint decisions via secure video platforms.

This isn’t just remote viewing—it’s remote decision-making.

Education: From Observation to Mastery

Surgical training demands more than textbook theory. It requires immersive, repeatable exposure to real procedures. Video unlocks that.

• Telemonitoring: One-way live broadcasts allow trainees to observe procedures without crowding the OR.

• Self-evaluation: Surgeons can review their own intraoperative footage—analyzing movement, technique, and decision points.

• Training video creation: High-fidelity recordings become modular teaching assets, tailored to specific procedures or techniques.

• Didactic comparison: Real-world footage can be mapped against textbook visuals, bridging theory and practice.

With the right tagging and segmentation, video becomes a mentorship engine.

Safety: From Passive Recording to Active Guidance

Video isn’t just retrospective—it can be proactive. When integrated with real-time systems, it enhances surgical safety and team coordination.

• Augmented reality overlays: Visual cues layered onto live video can guide incisions, highlight anatomy, or warn of proximity to critical structures.

• Anaesthesia monitoring: Synchronized video and vitals help anesthesiologists track patient response in context.

• Surgical navigation: Image guidance systems can be visualized through the same video layer, improving spatial awareness.

• Scrub nurse guidance: Step-by-step visual prompts ensure instrument readiness and procedural flow.

• Checklist facilitation: Visual confirmation of safety steps—like instrument counts or site marking—can be embedded into the workflow.

• Ergonomic optimization: Reviewing footage helps teams identify bottlenecks, movement inefficiencies, and layout issues.

Safety isn’t just about what’s done—it’s about how it’s seen.

Information Management: From Fragmented Data to Unified Intelligence

Surgical video, when integrated with imaging and documentation systems, becomes a central node in the patient data graph.

• Procedure recordings: Archived video becomes a legal, educational, and clinical reference.

• Preoperative image access: MRI, CT, and other scans can be layered into the video interface, aiding intraoperative decisions.

• Photo-documentation: Still frames from video can be tagged, annotated, and stored in patient records.

With modular access and metadata tagging, video becomes searchable, shareable, and clinically relevant.

Nuevata’s Vision: Modular Intelligence, Not Just Cameras

We’re not building a better recorder. We’re building a modular surgical intelligence platform—where video is just one layer of a broader system that:

• Connects teams across geographies

• Trains surgeons with real-world nuance

• Guides procedures in real time

• Captures data for long-term insight

In short: we’re turning surgical video into surgical value.
