(Pittsburgh, PA) Allegheny Health Network announced a collaboration with Anaut Inc., a Tokyo-based company developing artificial intelligence technology for surgical visualization.
According to AHN, surgeons within the health system will work with Anaut to help refine AI tools designed for use during surgical procedures.
AHN said it is the first U.S.-based health system to assist in training and optimizing Anaut’s “EUREKA” platform.
The AI-powered system is designed to identify and track anatomical structures — including nerves, blood vessels and organs — during laparoscopic and robotic surgeries in real time.
As part of the collaboration, AHN surgeons Richard Fortunato and James McCormick will provide clinical feedback to help improve the platform’s AI models, initially focusing on colorectal and complex abdominal surgeries.
Officials said the feedback will be used to refine future versions of the technology as Anaut works toward broader use in the United States.
