Getinge takes AI-powered surgical planning further with Torin Plan Optimizer
Getinge today announced the launch of Torin Plan Optimizer, an AI-powered decision support solution for surgical planning. Going beyond procedure-duration prediction, it optimizes the plan against a broader set of dependencies across operating rooms (ORs), surgeon and surgical team availability, and post-operative capacity. By providing earlier visibility into potential constraints, the solution helps hospitals make better use of existing surgical capacity, reduce scheduling disruptions, and keep surgical care on track.
Hospitals are under increasing pressure to treat more surgical patients despite workforce shortages and growing demand for care. When procedure times, available ORs, surgeons and surgical teams, and post-operative care requirements are not aligned, delays, cancellations and last-minute schedule changes can result.
“We are committed to advancing innovation that supports connected, data-driven and efficient surgical care,” says Charlotte Enlund, Vice President Digital Health Solutions at Getinge. “Our approach to AI keeps healthcare professionals at the center of decision-making, augmenting their expertise with trusted insights that enable teams to work more effectively within existing resources and support more predictable surgical planning.”
Torin Plan Optimizer analyzes a hospital’s historical and operational data to support planning across multiple interdependent factors. These include expected procedure duration, surgeon and surgical team availability, patient-specific post-operative care needs, and bed availability. AI-generated recommendations help teams evaluate different options and adjust the schedule, while healthcare professionals remain in control of the final plan.
“Surgical planning involves balancing many interdependent priorities, making it difficult to see the full impact of planning decisions manually,” says Matthias Rath, Director of Product Management & Business Development OR Solutions at Getinge. “AI-powered decision support helps teams anticipate potential constraints before they become disruptions, giving them more time to adjust the plan, make better use of available surgical capacity and help keep care on track for patients who need it.”
Designed to integrate with existing hospital infrastructure, Torin Plan Optimizer is part of Getinge’s digital ecosystem connecting perioperative workflows from pre-operative planning through post-operative care.
