The Problem

Surgery Depends on Sterile Processing. Yet the Process Is Still Manual, Inconsistent, and Costly.

The Solution

A Digital Operating System for Sterile Processing. STEAMVision delivers immersive, real-time workflow guidance for sterile processing teams.

The Platform enables:

● Guided instrument reprocessing
● Standardized tray assembly
● Real-time competency reinforcement
● Reduced workflow variability
● Faster onboarding and training
● Improved surgical readiness

By digitizing sterile processing, STEAMVision helps:
● Reduce infection risk
● Prevent surgical delays
● Improve OR utilization
● Lower unnecessary costs
● Improve patient outcomes

Built for Scale

Built on Mixed Reality. Designed for XR-Agnostic Deployment.
STEAMVision was initially developed using mixed reality to validate hands-free guidance in real sterile processing environments. The platform is now evolving to a device-agnostic XR architecture, enabling scalable deployment across hospitals with varying technology budgets.
This approach allows STEAMVision to expand beyond training into surgical readiness infrastructure.

These Failures Start in Sterile Processing. STEAMVision reduces the risk before surgery begins.

  • Preventable infections still occur in up to 1 in 10 surgeries
  • Infections can increase mortality risk by up to 11x
  • Most post-operative infections are serious enough to require extended care or readmission
  • Each failure can add $20K–$60K+ in avoidable cost per patient
  • Idle operating rooms can lose $100 per minute in revenue
  • Instrument issues continue to shut down cases before they even begin

These preventable breakdowns cost healthcare systems more than $10 billion each year in avoidable complications, lost revenue, and surgical inefficiency.

 

Most healthcare technologies improve treatment. STEAMVision improves outcomes. By strengthening sterile processing, STEAMVision reduces preventable surgical risk before the patient enters the operating room.

Healthcare spends billions improving surgery but far less preventing avoidable surgical complications. STEAMVision focuses on prevention, consistency, and outcomes.

 

  • Hospitals already spend billions on:

    • Surgical robotics
    • Implants
    • AI imaging
    • OR technology

    But none of those prevent:

    • Contaminated instruments
    • Tray errors
    • Missing instruments
    • Wet loads
    • Competency gaps

    The irony is:

    Hospitals invest in cutting-edge surgery – but still rely on manual sterile processing workflows
