The challenge

Operating rooms are short-staffed. Yani supports the team.

The global shortage of surgical nurses lengthens waiting lists, exhausts teams and multiplies risk in every procedure. Yani complements the human team: it adds time, precision and consistency to every procedure.

  • Scrub-nurse shortage

    Hospitals run with incomplete teams and extended shifts.

  • Fatigue and error

    Repetitive load erodes attention at critical moments.

  • OR time

    Every minute in the room costs money and limits capacity.

Yani

A robotic scrub nurse, designed for the OR.

Yani listens, recognizes and acts. Trained on procedures and incisions, it delivers and retrieves instruments with the precision modern surgery demands.

  • Voice control

    Natural commands in Spanish and English, without breaking the surgeon's flow.

  • Trained on procedures

    Knows the stages of each intervention and anticipates the instruments needed.

  • Sub-millimeter precision

    ±0.03 mm tolerance on every handover and retrieval.

  • Customizable

    Configurable per specialty, hospital protocol and team preferences.

  • Collaborative and safe

    Semi-autonomous cobot operating next to people with force and speed limits.

  • 24/7 support
