SURGICAL VIDEO DATA FOR ROBOTICS & AI
Operavue connects surgical video and clinical expertise with robotics, medical device, life sciences, and AI teams. We provide optional recording headsets to surgeons and license existing footage, with agreed minimum guarantees and revenue sharing.
FROM THE OPERATING ROOM
Human skill.
A new dimension.
PATIENT PRIVACY, FROM THE START
Before handling protected health information, we will put the required safeguards, agreements, and permissions in place for each surgical data partnership.
Our privacy commitment ↗THE OPERAVUE PERSPECTIVE
Every operation brings together years of judgment, technique, and experience. Far too much of that knowledge never leaves the room.
We’re building a bridge from surgical practice to surgical intelligence by sourcing video, designing new capture programs, and bringing clinical expertise to the data that powers research.
From procedure to possibilityFOR SURGEONS & DATA PARTNERS
For individual surgeons, surgical practices, hospitals, and health systems. Two ways to contribute. A partnership built around you.
Put your existing surgical video to work. We assess your archive, confirm licensing rights, and match suitable data with relevant research needs.
License your surgical dataWant to record your procedures? We provide an optional recording headset as part of a capture partnership. Help build surgical datasets and share in the value your recordings create.
Explore the surgeon programAgreed payments for qualifying data partnerships. Clear terms, before work begins.
Participate in the value your data creates through agreed licensing revenue shares.
Paid opportunities in clinical annotation, model evaluation, and expert advisory work.
Compensation is agreed per partnership and subject to rights, quality, demand, and institutional requirements. No universal rate or earnings promise.

BUILT BY SURGEONS
UNITED STATESOur perspective comes from surgical practice in the United States. We believe the people closest to the work should help shape the technology and share in the value it creates.
We’re building for an ecosystem of innovators. More teams with access to meaningful surgical data. More opportunities for clinical expertise. More possibilities for progress.
Help shape what comes nextA FEW GOOD QUESTIONS
We welcome discussions about video from any surgical specialty, including open, laparoscopic, robotic, endoscopic, and microscopic procedures. Existing footage does not need to be stereoscopic. Suitability depends on image quality, available context, rights, privacy requirements, and buyer demand.
Yes. We provide a recording headset for surgeons who choose a headset capture partnership. Using a headset is optional: you can also explore licensing existing footage or contributing clinical expertise. The recording plan, institutional approvals, equipment arrangements, minimum guarantees, and revenue sharing are agreed for each partnership.
No. We offer two routes: licensing existing surgical archives and partnering on new capture. New capture programs can use 2K stereoscopic cameras, with hardware, exact recording specifications, workflow, and costs agreed for each project.
For qualifying partnerships, we negotiate a minimum payment commitment and a share of relevant licensing revenue. Amounts, timing, eligibility, reporting, and any relationship between the guarantee and revenue share are defined in the agreement. Compensation follows the applicable ownership, institutional, and professional requirements.
The parties agree on permitted uses, recipients, exclusivity, retention, and other licensing conditions before transfer. Surgeons may not own the rights to footage recorded at their institution; we work with the appropriate rights holders. Patient permissions and other applicable approvals must be addressed before data is shared.
We are committed to HIPAA-compliant surgical data partnerships. Before handling protected health information, we will establish the safeguards, agreements, and permissions required for the project. This includes business associate agreements where required, privacy and security review, and a defined approach to de-identification and access. This website is for business inquiries only: do not send patient information or upload surgical footage here.
Yes. We’re interested in surgeons who want to help with clinical annotation, procedure descriptions, dataset review, model evaluation, and advisory projects. Opportunities and compensation are project-specific.
