Machine learning runs Reclaim, which predicts the block time likely to go unused so it can be released early, and ARDEN's generative AI answers questions about operating room and financial data and acts on block commands.

Distribute, the request marketplace for open time, and the Measure and Manage reports are useful on time released by hand as well, so part of what a hospital buys stands apart from the predictions.

Reclaim identifies future block time likely to go unused and adds flexibility to a hospital's existing mandatory release policies, and ARDEN can act on a typed instruction, such as releasing three hours of a named surgeon's block in a given room on a given day.

Whether a predicted release happens on its own or waits for the surgeon or a perioperative manager to agree is not stated.

Two kinds of AI sit in the product. Reclaim applies machine learning to find block time likely to go unused and to refill it according to a facility's financial goals and surgeons' schedules and preferences, and ARDEN combines generative AI models with hospital data through in context learning to answer questions and act on schedules.

The models themselves and their accuracy are not described.

Copient presents Reclaim's predictions and ARDEN's generative AI as its own work on each hospital's data.

Who supplies the generative models and who hosts the service are not named.

Copient reports 81 percent growth in released hours per operating room, 7 percent growth in case hours per month and a 23 times return on investment. Its chief executive put customer gains at more than $500,000 per operating room each year when ARDEN launched in 2023.

None of these figures comes with a hospital, period or method.

ARDEN works on a hospital's operating room schedules, case history and surgeon block records, and its generative AI layer answers questions drawn from that hospital data, including financial results.

How that data is held, how long it is kept and whether it trains models for other customers is not described.

Hospitals and surgery centers supply block schedules and case times, which carry the procedures booked for patients and the surgeons who hold the time.

No HIPAA or business associate statement accompanies the product.

ARDEN runs as a service that community physicians reach from outside the hospital's own systems, alongside the hospital's scheduling workflow.

Copient presents no security certification, audit or trust center.

ARDEN predicts, releases and reallocates operating room block time and reports utilization and financial results. It makes no decision about an individual patient's care and makes no diagnostic or treatment claim.

Copient makes no regulatory claim, and no FDA device listing exists for it.

Reclaim's predictions decide which block time is flagged for release, and released time is refilled according to the facility's financial goals and each surgeon's characteristics, schedule and preferences, so the model's choices fall on named surgeons and services.

Copient describes no testing or monitoring of those predictions across surgeons or specialties.

Reclaim's predictions sit alongside a hospital's existing mandatory release policies rather than replacing them, and the reports in Measure and Manage show how released and filled time turned out.

Copient offers no accuracy figure or remedy for a wrong prediction.

Distribute lets physicians request open time without disrupting the hospital's existing scheduling systems and workflows, and Measure and Manage adds analytics beyond what the operating room scheduling system offers.

The scheduling and record systems ARDEN reads from, and how it connects to them, are not named.

ARDEN is delivered as hosted software: Distribute serves community physicians who have no access to the hospital's IT systems, and the reporting and generative AI layers sit on the same service.

Where it is hosted and where hospital data rests is not stated.

Copient sells ARDEN to hospitals and surgery centers as three modules, Reclaim, Distribute and Measure and Manage, with the generative AI layer on top, and sells it on value: a 23 times return on investment, and more than $500,000 a year per operating room by its chief executive's account at the 2023 launch.

The modules carry no published rate.

ARDEN serves perioperative leaders, facility schedulers and block holders in hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers, and Distribute opens released time to community surgeons who work outside the hospital's IT systems. At the 2023 launch Copient quoted the chief executive of SUNY Downstate Medical Center on ARDEN.

No site is named as a customer, and results are not broken out by facility type or specialty.
