VitVio collaborates with UCK Gdańsk to bring 3D artificial intelligence to the operating room in Poland – Unite.AI

VitVio is bringing its Vetro operating room AI platform to Poland through a partnership with the University Clinical Center of Gdańsk (UCK). The Oct. 14 announcement identifies KLA as the first hospital in the country to implement the company’s native 3D surgical operating system, starting in select operating rooms ahead of a planned expansion throughout the surgical department.

The installation is coordinated with Medim, a Polish distributor of medical equipment. The project focuses on administrative and coordination work related to surgery: recording procedural steps, identifying delays and helping teams prepare between cases. Partners expect better utilization of existing OR hours, although the announcement does not provide measured results from the KLA implementation.

Transform room activity into workflow data

Vetro combines multiple cameras and environmental sensing with VitVio’s Spatial Context Engine, which converts continuously captured 3D data into a live geometric representation of the operating room. The system aims to recognize activities and changes in the progress of a procedure, providing its AI agents with the context needed to record the steps and coordinate the work.

The technical distinction is spatial understanding at a local scale. In its explanation of 3D spatial intelligence, VitVio describes the combination of depth, relative position and movement over time. Multiple viewpoints can help maintain visibility when personnel or equipment blocks a single camera. The company also recognizes that events cannot be recovered if the view of each sensor is obstructed, making sensor coverage and placement critical to reliability.

For a hospital, useful output is a timely workflow event. Recognizing that a case has reached a particular stage can help downstream teams prepare without waiting for someone to enter a timestamp or make a phone call. This links computer vision to operational coordination during the perioperative period, from preparation to recovery and room turnover.

The KLA statement said Vetro officers automatically record surgical steps, report delays and coordinate staff between cases. He describes tool usage monitoring and real-time operational notes as future features. The larger VitVio product website already promotes instrument recognition and generated documentation, including surgeon review and approval, but this does not establish that all features will be active in the initial Polish installation.

Why a teaching hospital is important

KLA combines specialist care with education and research through its affiliation with the Medical University of Gdańsk. The hospital overview lists 1,241 beds and 4,834 employees, illustrating the size of the institution hosting the rollout. Starting in select rooms gives partners the opportunity to learn how the system fits into local workflows before rolling it out more widely.

Dr. Adam Sudoł, KLA’s vice president of medical logistics, said in the announcement that the hospital wants surgical teams to focus on patients and training rather than paperwork. He said the lessons taught by the first rooms would help shape how the hospital runs the rest of its surgical facilities.

“The implementation of Vetro is an example of technology that does not replace people, but supports medical staff in their daily work.”

This assessment came from KLA CEO Jakub Kraszewski, who framed the partnership as part of the hospital’s broader interest in an AI-supported healthcare organization.

VitVio co-founder and COO Maks Kozarzewski also highlighted the KLA’s educational role. He said delays and avoidable paperwork consume time that could otherwise be used by doctors, patients and the next generation of staff, and stressed the importance of bringing the platform to Poland given the founding team’s Polish roots.

Privacy Statements and Distribution Evidence

According to the announcement, Vetro removes identifiable data in real time and does not create biometric face or voice models. These are the company’s claims about the design of the system. They should also be read in conjunction with VitVio’s privacy policy, which describes the processing of audiovisual content according to customer agreements and identifies the hospital as the data controller and VitVio as the data controller.

The distinction is important: avoiding biometric identification does not, in itself, describe every aspect of data processing. The policy makes the hospital’s instructions and contractual arrangements relevant to how audiovisual material and operational records are processed. The announcement does not reveal how the KLA will be stored, hosted or accessed in detail.

VitVio opened wider access to Vetro in July 2026, following work with hospitals in the US and UK. The Polish partnership extends this implementation to a major public university hospital. Its practical value will become clearer as the KLA can evaluate documentation workload, delays, room utilization and the reliability of events detected in daily use. For now, shorter wait lists and reduced overtime remain expected benefits rather than published results of this installation.
