## Summary

VitVio announced on October 14 a partnership with University Clinical Centre in Gdańsk (UCK) to introduce its Vetro operating room AI platform in Poland. UCK, a 1,241-bed teaching hospital with 4,834 employees, will be the first in the country to deploy Vetro in selected operating rooms before expanding across its surgical department. The system uses 3D cameras and sensors to track surgical workflows, log procedural stages, and flag delays in real time, aiming to improve room utilization and reduce administrative burdens on staff. VitVio’s Spatial Context Engine processes continuous 3D data to recognize activities and coordinate between cases, though the company notes reliability depends on sensor placement and coverage. The deployment aligns with UCK’s goal of freeing surgical teams from paperwork, as stated by VP of Medical Logistics Dr. Adam Sudoł and CEO Jakub Kraszewski, who emphasized AI’s role in supporting—not replacing—medical staff. VitVio co-founder Maks Kozarzewski highlighted the project’s significance for Poland, given the company’s Polish roots, and the hospital’s dual role in patient care and medical education. Vetro’s privacy claims include real-time removal of identifiable data and no biometric face or voice templates, though VitVio’s privacy policy designates UCK as the data controller and processor, leaving details of retention and access unspecified. The system was previously tested in US and UK hospitals and is part of VitVio’s broader rollout. UCK will evaluate outcomes like documentation workload, delays, and room efficiency over time, with potential benefits including shorter waitlists and reduced overtime.

## Key points

- VitVio’s Vetro AI platform tracks surgical workflows in 3D using cameras and sensors, logging stages and flagging delays in real time
- UCK Gdańsk, a 1,241-bed teaching hospital, becomes the first in Poland to deploy Vetro in selected ORs before wider expansion
- VitVio claims Vetro removes identifiable data in real time but does not disclose UCK’s full data retention or access policies

## Why it matters

This deployment could demonstrate how AI-driven surgical coordination reduces administrative overhead in high-volume hospitals, a model that may scale to other European systems.
