UChicago Medicine Expands Smart Hospital Platform with Artisight Partnership

The platform will also be integrated into UChicago Medicine’s upcoming 575,000-square-foot cancer care facility, which is scheduled to open in April 2027.

UChicago Medicine has entered into a partnership with Artisight to deploy a system-wide smart hospital platform across its clinical settings, aiming to enhance patient care, safety, and operational efficiency.

The rollout will include more than 1,800 devices installed across patient rooms, operating rooms, and post-anesthesia care units. The platform will also be integrated into UChicago Medicine’s upcoming 575,000-square-foot cancer care facility, which is scheduled to open in April 2027.

Artisight’s platform combines artificial intelligence with computer vision, multi-sensor networks, indoor positioning, and real-time location systems. It also integrates voice-activated services, video conferencing, and electronic health records to create a connected clinical environment.

According to Yeman Collier, Chief Information Officer at UChicago Medicine, the new cancer center created an opportunity to rethink how technology supports care delivery. “Being able to leverage technology to improve the experience for patients and families, reduce cognitive and administrative burden for the care team, and improve safety and clinical outcomes are just a few of the objectives underpinning the partnership,” Collier said.

Artisight CEO and co-founder Andrew Gostine said the collaboration reflects a shift toward more integrated hospital systems. He noted that academic health systems face increasing complexity in managing patient care, research, and surgical coordination. “Our organizations aligned around a core belief: hospital rooms and operating rooms should function as a unified system that can sense activity, automate routine tasks and continuously deliver AI-enabled capabilities,” Gostine said.

The platform is designed to support clinical workflows through ambient sensing and automation. It enables fall prevention, early identification of patient risks, virtual collaboration among care teams, and streamlined operations from admission through discharge.

Gostine added that hospitals using the system have reported measurable outcomes, including reduced nursing turnover and prevention of critical errors in clinical settings.

The implementation is expected to enable more personalized patient care while improving coordination and safety across UChicago Medicine’s facilities.
