With its renowned OR Black Box®, the market’s singular, holistic solution for driving perioperative quality, safety, and efficiency improvements, SST continues to deliver on its mission to ensure clinical care is safer, more reliable, and of the highest quality.

Expanding Global Reach

In 2024, SST welcomed 11 new customers to its growing network, extending its impact to healthcare organizations across the globe. These new partnerships, in addition to five customer expansions, represent organizations collectively caring for over 7 million patients annually, and a 194% year-over-year growth in subscription-based revenue for SST.

Unprecedented Product Growth

SST’s Black Box Platform™, a powerful combination of audiovisual data capture and artificial intelligence, experienced record-breaking adoption and scalability in 2024, achieving several key milestones:
