AIG Brings Digital Review To Operating Rooms, To record surgeries for review, training

In August 2026, AIG Hospitals announced a collaboration with Johnson & Johnson to implement Polyphonic Surgery, the flagship solution within the Polyphonic digital ecosystem for surgery, designed to support secure surgical video recording, review, collaboration, learning and knowledge-sharing across surgical teams. The Hyderabad-based hospital will implement J&J's Polyphonic Surgery platform, which brings surgical videos, case reviews, learning resources and feedback onto a single digital platform. AIG said it would be among the early hospitals in India and the Asia-Pacific region to adopt the system.

AIG Hospitals will be among the early centers not just in India but in the entire Asia-Pacific to implement such a digital ecosystem for surgical procedures, marking an important step towards the future of surgical intelligence. The platform is designed to bring surgical video, case-based review, team collaboration, learning resources, and structured feedback into one cohesive, centralized environment.

AIG Hospitals has consistently invested in technologies and institutional systems that enhance quality of care, strengthen medical training, and support evidence-based clinical practice. The introduction of Polyphonic Surgery adds a new aspect to this journey by bringing digital intelligence, collaborative learning, and surgical innovation directly into the operating room.

AIG will work with J&J to evaluate the system through its use by surgeons, operating room teams, residents, information technology professionals and hospital administrators. The hospital also stated that the exercise would help assess how connected digital technologies could improve clinical practices and operating-room efficiency.

Impact on the Healthcare Market

The collaborative technology will allow surgical teams to revisit procedures after an operation, discuss cases and use surgical videos for training and knowledge-sharing. It is also intended to improve collaboration among surgeons, operating room teams and residents. Through hands-on use and ongoing collaboration with surgeons, operating room teams, residents, information technology professionals and hospital leadership, AIG Hospitals will help evaluate how connected digital technologies can support clinical excellence and operational effectiveness.

The collaboration also aligns with AIG Hospitals’ larger vision of integrating clinical excellence with academics, research, digital innovation and AI-enabled healthcare solutions. As part of the program, participating users at AIG Hospitals will also be able to provide feedback on usability, workflow integration and clinical connectivity, thus helping inform future applications across surgical specialties and hospital systems.

Impact on the Image Guided Surgery Devices Market

The global image guided surgery devices market size is estimated at USD 8.96 billion in 2025 and is anticipated to reach around USD 22.64 billion by 2035, expanding at a CAGR of 9.71% from 2026 to 2035.

According to Precedence Research, the market is primarily driven by the increase in the elderly population, the demand for less invasive procedures, and technical developments in imaging systems. The market is growing as a result of the rising prevalence of chronic diseases like cancer as well as the increase in efforts for cancer treatment.

AI is also profoundly impacting the image-guided surgery (IGS) devices industry by enhancing precision, efficiency, and patient outcomes through advanced data analytics and machine learning algorithms. AI algorithms are helping improve the quality of medical images by performing tasks like noise reduction and contrast enhancement, which enables better visualization of anatomical structures during procedures.

Impact on the Artificial Intelligence and Analytics in Surgery Market

The global artificial intelligence and analytics in surgery market size accounted for USD 238.15 million in 2024 and is predicted to increase from USD 299.45 million in 2025 to approximately USD 2,352.8 million by 2034, expanding at a CAGR of 25.74% from 2025 to 2035.

According to Precedence Research, the market is expanding due to advancements in AI technology, its precise results in the healthcare sector, lack of skilled surgeons, and offerings of AI, like scalability, efficiency, accurate diagnosis, and precise data analysis of medical imaging, which reduces errors and burden on the existing healthcare infrastructure by streamlining workflows.

One of the significant trends that is being witnessed in the artificial intelligence and analytics in surgery market is the planning and execution of any surgery with the help of advanced data analytics, which enhances overall results. AI can generate accurate 3D models with optimized surgical plans through in-depth analysis of the patient's historical data and medical imaging, which offers detailed insights to surgeons for a precise method of operations by improving accuracy.

Expert Opinion

Speaking on the collaboration, Dr. GV Rao, Director & Chief of Surgery, AIG Hospitals, said

“Surgery today is no longer confined to the operating room alone. It begins with planning, continues through coordinated execution, and must be followed by careful review, learning, and improvement. By implementing Polyphonic Surgery, we are taking an important step towards building a more connected and intelligent surgical ecosystem. The true value of this technology lies in how it can help our teams communicate better, learn faster, train more effectively, and ultimately deliver more precise and more consistent care to our patients.”
