Surgical and medical robotics data

Surgical data collection captures procedure-grade demonstrations from clinician operators on research-grade surgical robots. Every trajectory is logged with sub-millimeter tool-tip pose, grip force, and stereo video — under HIPAA-compliant protocols with IRB approval and full de-identification.

Typical use cases

  • Autonomous suturing — knot tying, running stitch, and interrupted suture patterns
  • Tissue manipulation — retraction, dissection, and cautery demonstrations
  • Surgical skill assessment — expert vs. novice trajectory comparison datasets
  • Sim-to-real transfer — phantom tissue data bridged with simulator recordings

Why teams partner with us

  • Clinician operators — board-certified surgeons and trained residents
  • HIPAA compliant — end-to-end data handling and storage
  • 3 surgical platforms — da Vinci, dVRK, and custom arms

Why outsource surgical data?

Clinician time is the bottleneck. We coordinate operators, handle IRB compliance, and deliver de-identified datasets so your ML team focuses on models, not protocols.

What we collect

Data at the bar a surgical model has to clear

Four streams produced by clinician operators, audited at sub-frame precision.

Procedure-grade teleop

Surgeon-quality trajectories with tool-tip pose, sub-millimeter accuracy.

Tissue-handling forces

Force-torque profiles for contact-sensitive tasks where tissue trauma matters.

Clinician operator data

Operators with surgical training, not generic teleoperators. Bar matches OR standards.

Procedure variation

Same procedure across body habitus, anatomy variation, and complication patterns.

How we work

From procedure spec to validated dataset

A four-stage pipeline designed for IRB-compliant capture and FDA-grade audit trails.

1Step 1

Procedure spec

Define the procedure, the success criteria, and the variation matrix with your clinical team.

2Step 2

Clinician operator selection

Operators with surgical training matched to procedure type. Credentials verified.

3Step 3

HIPAA-compliant capture

Sub-millisecond synchronized capture in a HIPAA-bound environment. Audit trail per session.

4Step 4

Validated packaging

Per-procedure quality review by a senior clinician. Failure cases flagged, not silently shipped.

What our partners say
Surgical data is a different category. Roborax matched our clinician bar from day one. The HIPAA audit trail saved us six weeks at FDA review.

FAQ

Questions about surgical and medical programs

Operators working in or around clinical environments are trained in infection control, patient privacy, and relevant local health regulations. Our program leads carry applicable certifications for the jurisdiction.
We do not collect patient data. Our programs capture robot motion and sensor data in clinical environments — not patient records, clinical observations, or any individually identifiable health information.
HIPAA in the US, GDPR in Europe, and equivalent frameworks in other jurisdictions. Our data handling practices are designed to comply with the most stringent applicable framework by default.
Any incidental capture of clinical staff, patients, or identifiable clinical information is reviewed and redacted before delivery. We can provide a documented anonymisation protocol on request.
Yes, with appropriate access coordination, credentialing, and infection control compliance. We have experience working within active hospital departments and surgical simulation centers.
