The World's first
AI-powered Smart Surgical Performance Center
Where AI, performance analytics, and hands-on skills training converge to enable safer, smarter, and more adaptive operating environments.
"For more than two centuries, the University of Maryland School of Medicine has been advancing the practice of medicine through innovation and education. This joint venture with Axis enables us to build on that legacy by creating a next-generation training environment where clinicians can develop skills, conduct research, and collaborate with engineers and industry partners to shape the future of surgery."
Axis Performance Center
A Transformative New Model for Surgical Training and Performance
The Axis Performance Center is transforming how Knowledge, Skills, and Aptitude are taught, measured, and improved across surgical education—from professional learning environments and simulation lab to the operating room.
By capturing both seen and unseen actions, objects, and conditions, the OMNIMED® Technology powering the Axis Performance Center converts real-time signals into objective, actionable data that strengthens each part of the KSA model.
"The Axis Performance Center is redefining what's possible in medical education by creating a collaborative environment where clinicians, researchers, industry leaders, and AI come together to accelerate innovation and shape the future of medicine."
Visualizing the Future of the
Smart Surgery Lab
Equiped with OMNIMED® SmartOR™, the Axis Performance Center will leverage intelligent sensors and AI to seamlessly collect and integrate operating room data points, enabling data-driven decision-making in the operating room and ultimately driving quality business decisions
Strategic Proximity
At the Center of the Washington DC–
Maryland Clinical Ecosystem
Transforming Knowledge, Skills & Aptitude
An AI-powered, sensor-based platform that captures millions of data points per minute — from instrument usage to pose-model detection — converting real-time signals into objective, actionable insight. Built without capturing PHI, and fully HIPAA & NIST compliant.
The KSA Model
01
Knowledge
Links didactic learning with real- world application by revealing how information is understood and used during procedures.
02
Skills
Provides continuous, data-driven feedback to improve technical performance, teamwork, and efficiency with up to 40% better skill retention and training effectiveness.
03
Aptitude
Tracks decision-making, adaptability, and judgment in context, helping educators and learners measure and accelerate clinical readiness.
"The University of Maryland Baltimore, since its founding in 1807, has been rooted in innovation and excellence in academic healthcare, including the core elements of education, research, and patient care. Our mission has been continuously infused with rigorous anatomical training and technical mastery, from Davidge Hall and now to the Axis Performance Center. I firmly believe this new Center will honor this rich history and propel the next generation of surgical advances."
Revolutionizing the Future of Medical Training Using Award Winning Technology
The Axis Performance Center is an AI-powered, sensor-based platform powered by OMNIMED® that transforms traditional surgical suites into intelligent environments.
By capturing millions of data points per minute—from instrument usage, pose model detection, to environmental variables—the Axis Performance Center offers real-time, actionable insights that improve surgical team performance, safety, and efficiency.
Highlights
Capturing Real-Time Product Interact
Records and analyzes how surgeons and healthcare professionals use devices during simulated and cadaver-based procedures.
Accelerating Iteration and Refinement
High-resolution, time-stamped video and data help engineering teams identify friction points, unintended usage patterns, and opportunities for rapid, evidence-based design improvements before clinical trials or regulatory submission.
Supporting Regulatory and Risk Analysis
Generate objective reports that support FDA and CE submissions by demonstrating consistency, safety, intended use, and early-stage risk assessment.
Supporting Regulatory and Risk Analysis
The Axis Performance Center measures learning curves, user compliance, and procedural proficiency to inform training programs and support successful product launches.
Enhancing Collaboration
Device teams, KOLs (key opinion leaders), and Axis training staff collaborate using synchronized video and data to review procedures, align on findings, and accelerate validation and product improvements.
"Every procedure generates valuable insights. Our mission is to transform that data into actionable intelligence that helps clinicians and medical device learn continuously, refine their skills, and make more informed decisions with every case and training."
