SterileVision

AI-assisted inspection tool for surgical instruments

YNHHS Innovation Awards - Bronze Award Winner

Sterilevision
Lead Scott Israel
Team David Israel, MD; Katie Israel
Description

Sterile processing workflows rely on manual inspection of instruments, which can be inconsistent due to workload, experience levels, and time constraints. Missed defects can impact quality and patient safety.

SterileVision is a technician-facing inspection tool that uses computer vision to detect defects in real time during instrument processing. The system provides guidance and validation directly within the workflow.

Target Impact

The tool has the potential to improve inspection accuracy, reduce variability, and strengthen quality assurance across sterile processing environments.

Project Lead's Vision

The team aims to move quality assurance upstream by embedding decision support at the point of work. The goal is to standardize inspection processes, improve reliability, and support safer surgical care.
