Oath Surgical is collaborating with NVIDIA to advance the artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities of the OathOS platform used in the former’s network of surgery centres across the US.
Since emerging from stealth in May 2025, Oath is in the process of building out its own network of surgery centres, starting in Oregon. Coinciding with its launch, Oath introduced OathOS. Used across its surgery centres, the company’s platform is an end-to-end operating system for outpatient surgery.

Oath said that by collaborating with Nvidia, the tech giant’s advanced spatial AI infrastructure will be applied to imbue OathOS with real-time surgical video and audio analysis and agentic workflows in the operating room. Nvidia’s infrastructure is also expected to deliver “unique insights and efficiencies” for surgeons across the full care journey “from referral to recovery”, according to Oath.
Under the pair-up, Oath highlighted that its initial focus alongside Nvidia will be to build foundational infrastructure for multi-modal clinical intelligence and AI-enabled surgery, with a particular focus on bridging perioperative data with agentic AI use cases to support real-time clinical and operational decision-making and workflow automation.
Meanwhile, future phases of the collaboration will centre on establishing longitudinal models with OathOS to measure factors including surgeon performance, outcomes, and facility operations, Oath added.
“Through our collaboration with Nvidia, OathOS is becoming the first multimodal, ambient clinical intelligence platform for surgery and surgeons by leveraging physical and digital AI,” said Oliver Keown, founder and CEO of Oath Surgical.

By GlobalData“Surgery is entering an AI era, but it only works if the underlying systems are rebuilt so clinical knowledge and data can be analysed and learned from, at scale,” Keown added.
Following the completion of a £24m Series A funding round in October 2025, Oath has raised around $35m to date. The company owns and operates three AI-native outpatient surgical centres in Portland, Oregon and partners with more than 175 surgeons and 20 affiliated ASCs through its nationwide network.
In November 2025, the US Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) increased the Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS) and Ambulatory Surgical Centers (ASCs) payment rates for hospitals by 2.6% for 2026.
According to Oath, this change means that over 50 million procedures will be to move to outpatient care settings, thereby resulting in a rising demand across the US for surgery centres and resonating with the company’s ongoing plans to establish its surgery centre network.
