Thomas Knox of VitVio on Increasing ROI in Hospital Operating Rooms Using Computer Vision & AI

Hospitals and health systems have repeatedly confronted a range of financial and operational challenges. Computer vision and AI offer tremendous opportunities to increase efficiency in the very bureaucratic hospital sector and especially in their operating rooms.

Thomas Knox is the Co-Founder & CEO of VitVio, an AI-driven computer vision platform designed to enhance the safety and efficacy of hospital operating theaters. Through leveraging computer vision algorithms to analyze live video feeds, VitVio’s platform autonomously tracks and analyzes surgical processes and OR operations. This helps hospitals perform more surgeries, optimize workflows within the OR and improve inventory management to boost overall productivity and ROI.

Before founding VitVio, Thomas was the Head of Product at AiFi, the leading innovator of autonomous retail store technology and this domain expertise is extremely valuable for his new startup in Operating Rooms.

Here’s what Thomas said about our 10th Annual LDV Vision Summit: "The LDV Vision Summit was like peering into the future, emphasizing the role of AI and computer vision in driving forward not just business innovation, but societal progress! The discussions were a testament to the brilliant minds working at the intersection of technology and entrepreneurship. LDV and Evan are significantly advancing the industry in a truly positive direction."
