London-based startup VitVio is installing its Vetro camera and sensor platform in selected operating rooms at University Clinical Centre in Gdańsk, the first Polish hospital to adopt it. Polish distributor Medim is coordinating the installation. The public teaching hospital is affiliated with the Medical University of Gdańsk and lists 1,241 beds and 4,834 employees. Vetro logs surgical stages, flags delays and helps prepare teams; instrument tracking and operative notes are planned but not yet available.

Vetro combines multiple cameras with ambient sensors to create a live geometric model of an operating room. Its AI agents use that model to recognise surgical stages and coordinate between cases. VitVio says the system removes identifiable data in real time and does not create biometric templates. The hospital’s data retention, hosting and access arrangements have not been disclosed. Under VitVio’s privacy policy, the hospital is the data controller and VitVio the processor; the article says staff consent may be difficult because employment consent is rarely freely given under GDPR.

VitVio raised €1.8 million in pre-seed funding in January 2025, led by LDV Capital, followed by $8 million in seed funding last October. Its first pilot was at the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Foundation Trust in Britain; the company’s chief operating officer cites the founding team’s Polish roots. Denmark has used the same architecture for more than a year. Teton’s system converts operating-room video into 3D representations and deletes footage, while claiming a 25% reduction in night-shift workload. The EU faces a shortage of about 1.2 million doctors, nurses and midwives.

Annex III of the AI Act classifies AI intended to monitor and evaluate workers’ behaviour as high-risk, but the Omnibus delayed the rules for employment and six other categories until December 2027. VitVio’s January 2025 launch materials described tracking safety-protocol compliance, flagging procedural deviations and producing post-surgery debrief reports. The Gdańsk announcement instead describes stage logging, delay alerts and team preparation. In May, London surgeons used AI on a live endoscope feed to remove an 11mm pituitary tumour in a clinical trial.
