The expanded Brilliant Assistant platform introduces more intelligent, context-aware AI—combining advanced sensors, voice intelligence, and ambient awareness to deliver real-time intelligence through AI copilots in mission-critical operating rooms and high-stakes healthcare settings.
SANTA BARBARA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–SoftAcuity, a leader in AI-enabled surgical technologies, today announced new AI capabilities developed in partnership with Atomic Gravity for its Brilliant Assistant platform, advancing the vision of physical AI for mission-critical healthcare environments such as the operating room.
The collaboration brings together SoftAcuity’s Brilliant Assistant platform—an advanced surgical display system designed for the digital operating room—with Atomic Gravity’s expertise in building production-grade AI systems. The expanded platform delivers more intelligent, context-aware, workflow-enhancing AI capabilities by leveraging a rich array of sensors and SoftAcuity’s Speech and Intelligence Engine to perceive activity in the room, provide ambient awareness, and deliver real-time, mission-critical intelligence through AI copilots and intelligent agents that assist clinicians during procedures.
Designed as an open platform for surgical environments, the system enables MedTech device companies and operating room integrators to rapidly deploy AI-powered applications through SoftAcuity’s SAI API, allowing secure customization and integration of clinical software and AI solutions directly at the point of use.
Aligned with SoftAcuity’s mission to deliver physical AI for high-stakes environments, the partnership with Atomic Gravity accelerates the development of a new generation of intelligent systems designed to improve clinical workflows and human outcomes in healthcare.
SoftAcuity, Atomic Gravity, and strategic partner Barco, a global leader in visualization and digital operating room technology, will showcase these innovations at NVIDIA GTC on March 16-19 in San Jose, at Booth #90 in the Healthcare & Life Sciences Pavilion on the main GTC floor.
“Operating rooms are among the most technologically advanced environments in healthcare, yet the core interfaces clinicians rely on have remained largely unchanged,” said Bruce Kennedy, Founder and CEO of SoftAcuity.
“With Brilliant Assistant, we are introducing a new category of physical AI technology for the operating room—an intelligent system capable of understanding context, interacting through voice, and delivering real-time intelligence designed to augment surgical teams and improve patient outcomes.”
Atomic Gravity Collaboration
SoftAcuity collaborated with Atomic Gravity, an applied AI execution firm focused on designing and deploying production-grade AI systems and platforms, to accelerate the development of the next generation of AI capabilities within the Brilliant Assistant platform.
“The next wave of AI in healthcare isn’t just software—it’s AI embedded directly into the environments where care happens,” said Tolga Tarhan, Founder and CEO of Atomic Gravity.
“Brilliant Assistant is a powerful example of physical AI in action, combining sensors, voice, and intelligent agents to deliver real-time assistance inside the operating room.”
Demonstration at NVIDIA GTC
Building on SoftAcuity’s collaboration with Barco and NVIDIA, the Brilliant Assistant platform combines advanced AI computing with digital operating room infrastructure to enable next-generation surgical workflows and AI-driven clinical applications.
Attendees can experience the platform in action at Booth #90 in the Healthcare & Life Sciences Pavilion, where the companies will demonstrate how AI-powered surgical displays can transform the operating room from a passive screen into an intelligent assistant.
