Mount Sinai Health System has partnered with Clarium to deploy AI-powered computer vision technology across eight hospitals and ambulatory surgery centres to modernise surgical supply management. The system will automate supply documentation in operating rooms, where Mount Sinai performs approximately 100,000 procedures annually. Clarium Vision uses in-room cameras and AI models to automatically capture surgical supply usage in real time, eliminating manual documentation by nurses. The technology validates items against centralised supply databases and flags expired or recalled products to improve safety. US hospitals waste an estimated $25.7 billion annually on unnecessary supply chain spending, much of it in operating rooms. Mount Sinai will measure success through clinical team engagement, waste reduction, improved documentation accuracy and faster approval cycles for preference card changes. Clarium, founded in 2020, has raised over $43 million from investors including General Catalyst and Kaiser Permanente Ventures.

Clarium, a healthcare supply chain technology startup, has raised $27 million in a Series A funding round led by Northzone, with continued support from existing investors including General Catalyst, AlleyCorp, Kaiser Permanente Ventures, Texas Medical Center Ventures, and 1984 Ventures.
