OUR PUrpose

Our Origin

The inception of SST began in the operating room, when founder and practicing surgeon, Teodor Grantcharov, MD sought to visually capture his surgeries for performance improvement. After all, countless industries leveraged video analysis and data science for improvement, but healthcare lagged – with so much more at stake. In studying the relationship between clinical performance, processes, and outcomes, Grantcharov realized the need for replacing traditions, dogmas, and personal bias with data and science through a scalable, highly technological platform. This was the spark that ignited SST – the belief that bringing visibility and objective insight to healthcare delivery could transform clinical practice, reduce risks, and, ultimately, save lives.

Our Vision

The vision of SST is simple – make care safer, more reliable, and of the highest quality globally. We work for a future where receiving care evokes the same trust as stepping onto an airplane – a universally consistent experience.

Our Mission

As a company, we strive to continually provide the most intelligent, all-in-one solution for clinical transparency and improvement.

OUR APPROACH

The SST Difference

Visibility into clinical care is essential – but just the beginning. SST has long believed the truest value of audiovisual data is the action it facilitates and inspires. As such, the Black Box Platform™ is designed to:

Capture the Entire Clinical Environment

What occurs in the clinical environment is multi-faceted. To make tangible improvements in care quality, safety, and efficiency, it’s not sufficient to see only what occurs during a procedure or event. The entire clinical environment can provide insight into team performance, risk, and countless other factors that impact patient care. As such, the Black Box Platform captures data from every angle of the environment and turns it into descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive insights.

Provide Unparalleled Analytical Information

As ambient technology, the Black Box Platform leverages sensors, processors, and artificial intelligence to help organizations detect, adapt, and respond to occurrences in the clinical environment. Raw data is transformed into insights in real-time to inform decision-making and inspire action.

SST stands alone in offering the most intelligent technology to understand and inform care delivery.
