Artisight vs VitVio (2026)
Artisight and VitVio both put ambient sensing in the operating room to log surgical stages without charting, keep teams informed and draft the operative note, and analyst lists of operating room AI name them as competitors. They differ in maturity and reach. Artisight is established across hundreds of hospitals. Its in room device captures milestones from wheels in to wheels out, records timeouts and debriefs, alerts pre op, PACU and environmental services, predicts case length and sends drafted op notes into Epic, and the same device runs virtual nursing and observation on inpatient units. Processing stays on edge hardware in the hospital, and named systems include Bryan Health, The Guthrie Clinic and Silver Cross Hospital. VitVio's Vetro, open to hospitals since July 2026, builds a live 3D model of each room, follows people and equipment as they move, recognizes the instruments on each tray and drafts the operative note continuously for the surgeon to sign. It names no hospital deployment yet. Artisight suits a system that wants an established platform across operating rooms and patient rooms; VitVio suits one ready to pilot 3D room modeling and instrument tracking in surgery.
- Deployment in hundreds of hospitals, with named systems such as Bryan Health, The Guthrie Clinic and Silver Cross Hospital.
- One device and platform for operating rooms and inpatient units, including virtual nursing and fall alerts.
- Processing on edge hardware inside the hospital, with no video or audio stored from surgery.
- Two way Epic and Cerner integration with no interface fees, and operative notes sent into Epic.
- A live 3D model of each room built from sensors calibrated without markers, tracking people and equipment.
- Instrument recognition on each tray, showing what was used during the case.
- An operative note drafted continuously from voice and activity, with sources and codes attached for the surgeon.
- Most video discarded moments after processing, with no archive or playback library.

Each vendor in one paragraph
Written to be quoted whole. Each paragraph states what the AI Health Index verified about the vendor, with the caveats attached.
Artisight is deployed in hundreds of hospitals, with one sensing device per room serving surgery and inpatient care alike. For the operating room it times cases from wheels in to wheels out, notifies pre op, PACU and environmental services, predicts case length and turnover and drafts notes that flow into Epic.

VitVio opened access to Vetro for hospitals in July 2026. Its 3D Spatial Context Engine models each room in three dimensions to log surgical stages, show live status for every room in Mission Control, identify instruments on each tray and draft the operative note continuously from voice and activity.

Questions buyers ask
How does each sense the room?
Artisight uses an all in one device with dual 4K cameras, a microphone array, radar and indoor positioning, running detection and voice recognition on an edge processor. VitVio builds a three dimensional point cloud of each room from sensors calibrated without markers and reasons over poses and geometry rather than faces. From the AI Health Index, drawn from each vendor's own published materials and the regulatory record, verified October 12, 2026. No vendor pays for placement.
Where does each process and keep data?
Artisight processes data on hardware inside the hospital, holds protected health information for less than 24 hours and stores no video or audio from surgery. VitVio runs on Microsoft Azure, discards most video moments after processing and keeps personal information no longer than 90 days. From the AI Health Index, drawn from each vendor's own published materials and the regulatory record, verified October 12, 2026. No vendor pays for placement.
Which record systems does each write to?
Artisight names two way integration with Epic and Cerner and sends operative notes into Epic. VitVio writes logged stages back to Epic, Cerner and other record systems and syncs a drafted operative note for the surgeon to review. From the AI Health Index, drawn from each vendor's own published materials and the regulatory record, verified October 12, 2026. No vendor pays for placement.
