VitVio Brings AI to 60 Mexico Operating Rooms
London-based startup VitVio is expanding to Latin America with its 3D operating room AI system, Vetro, in a deal that could reach 60 operating theatres across seven hospitals in Mexico, aiming to improve efficiency and reduce waste
VitVio, a London-based startup, is bringing its 3D operating room AI system, Vetro, to every operating room at Hospital Español de Veracruz in Mexico, marking its first deal in Latin America. The system uses cameras and sensors to create a live 3D model of an operating room, showing the people, equipment, and activity inside.
The Vetro system can flag bottlenecks, help coordinate staff between patients, and monitor which tools are used, with the aim of reducing waste and making operating rooms run more efficiently. It can also generate operative notes while a procedure is underway, according to the company.
VitVio has raised $10m to date, including an $8m seed round led by Bek Ventures in October 2025. The company was founded in 2024 by Thomas Knox, Peter Rennert, Maks Kozarzewski, and Aleks Pajewski. VitVio works with specialist hospitals in New York and NHS hospitals in England, including the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital in Birmingham.
The agreement with Hospital Español de Veracruz could eventually bring Vetro to as many as 60 operating theatres across seven of the group’s hospitals. Hospital Español de Veracruz is part of Grupo Hospital Español and ranked among Mexico’s top five small and medium-sized private hospitals in the 2025 Funsalud ranking.
## Why it matters The introduction of Vetro to Hospital Español de Veracruz and potentially other hospitals in the Grupo Hospital Español network marks a significant step in the modernization of Mexico's healthcare system. By improving operating room efficiency and reducing waste, Vetro can help hospitals fit more procedures into their schedules, giving doctors and nurses more time for patients. This can lead to better patient outcomes and improved healthcare services in Mexico.
The expansion of VitVio to Latin America also highlights the growing demand for AI-powered healthcare solutions in the region. As hospitals in Mexico and other Latin American countries look to modernize their facilities and improve patient care, companies like VitVio are well-positioned to provide innovative solutions that can make a real difference in people's lives.
