Healthcare faces a structural demand–capacity crisis: a projected global shortfall of ~10 million clinicians by 2030, billions of diagnostic exams annually with significant unmet demand, hundreds of millions of procedures with large access gaps, and costly operating room (OR) inefficiencies measured in tens of dollars per minute.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. —Peritas AI Inc. and STERIS plc (NYSE: STE) today announced a collaboration to advance the application of embodied intelligence across sterile processing and perioperative support operations. The collaboration focuses on embedding real-time perception and orchestration directly into the environments that establish surgical readiness, reliability, and performance throughout the perioperative continuum.

Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc. (NYSE and SIX: ZBH), and Peritas AI Inc. are collaborating to explore how artificial intelligence (AI), workflow software, humanoid robots, surgical robots and human surgeons can work together seamlessly in a new generation of operating room that aims to improve the safety, quality and efficiency of surgical procedures.
