VitVio brings AI operating room system to Poland through UCK Gdańsk deal

VitVio will deploy its Vetro surgical operating system in selected operating rooms at University Clinical Centre in Gdańsk, marking the product’s Poland debut. The rollout aims to reduce paperwork and delays, improve OR efficiency and expand the company’s footprint across Europe.

Why it matters: - VitVio is entering Poland’s operating rooms for the first time through one of the country’s largest public teaching hospitals. - The deployment is aimed at reducing administrative work in surgery, which can free more time for patient care, training and operating room throughput. - UCK Gdańsk expects the system to help schedule more procedures in the same OR hours, cut overtime, improve predictability and shorten waiting lists.

What happened: - VitVio partnered with University Clinical Centre in Gdańsk to bring its AI-powered surgical operating system, Vetro, to Poland. - The rollout will start in selected UCK operating rooms before expanding across the surgical department. - The announcement was made in Gdańsk, Poland, on Oct. 14, 2026.

The details: - Vetro is described as a 3D-native, AI-powered surgical operating system. - Each operating room uses a multi-camera and ambient sensing setup that continuously captures 3D data. - VitVio’s Spatial Context Engine turns that data into a live geometric model of the room. - The system is designed to understand the room without identifying people in it. - Vetro removes identifiable data in real time and does not create biometric data such as face or voice templates. - The system recognizes surgical activities rather than individual identities. - AI agents automatically log surgical stages, flag delays, coordinate staff between cases and can track instrument use to reduce waste. - Vetro can also produce operative notes in real time. - VitVio says the platform functions as an operating system for the full perioperative environment, not as a point solution. - Dr. Adam Sudoł, VP of Medical Logistics at UCK Gdańsk, said the hospital wants surgical teams focused on patients and training, not paperwork. - Sudoł said UCK is the first hospital in Poland to bring VitVio’s system into the operating room at this level. - Jakub Kraszewski, CEO of UCK Gdańsk, said the deployment is an example of technology that supports medical staff rather than replacing them.

Between the lines: - The deal gives VitVio a foothold in a high-profile teaching hospital whose workflows influence how clinicians are trained across Poland. - Teaching hospitals are a strategic fit for tools that reduce routine admin because gains can affect both care delivery and clinical education. - VitVio’s emphasis on privacy-preserving sensing appears aimed at easing concerns that often come with AI in clinical environments. - The company is also signaling broader international ambition, with UCK Gdańsk joining deployments across the US, Europe and the UK.

What's next: - VitVio plans to expand Vetro beyond the initial operating rooms and into the wider surgical department at UCK Gdańsk. - The company said further announcements are expected in the coming months. - VitVio also said access to Vetro opened in July for hospitals and health systems across the US, Europe, Latin America, the UK and the Middle East. - More information is available on the company's website.
