Denmark-based healthcare technology company Teton has unveiled an innovative real-time 3D reconstruction system for hospital rooms, powered by Gefion, Denmark's national supercomputer. This digital twin technology aims to fundamentally transform how nurses monitor patients, identify risks, and manage their workflow in healthcare facilities.
The advanced system creates a comprehensive virtual representation of hospital rooms that updates in real-time, enabling healthcare professionals to maintain continuous awareness of patient conditions without constant physical presence. Operated by the Danish Center for AI Innovation, the Gefion supercomputer is built on NVIDIA DGX systems, which Teton leverages to generate the substantial data required for its digital twin technology.
NVIDIA DGX Station, described as a "high-performance NVIDIA Grace Blackwell desktop supercomputer powered by the NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra platform," provides the computational foundation for this innovation. This technology enables AI developers and researchers to prototype, fine-tune, and implement large models directly on desktop systems, with the flexibility to run them locally or deploy them across various cloud infrastructures.
At the core of Teton's offering is the Teton AI Gym, a sophisticated simulation engine that creates true-to-life, three-dimensional care environments with realistic patient and staff interactions using synthetic data. Early implementation results have been promising, with pilots demonstrating a reduction in night shift workload by as much as 25%.
"Our system can understand what people are doing, how they are sleeping, their respiration rate, their lying position and their gait," explained Mikkel Wad Thorsen, cofounder and CEO of Teton, in a statement to MobiHealthNews. "It can do all these things in real time and provide continuous metrics on patient health and the care they receive. Operating in 3D is a game-changer for the TEO-2 model, and it has only been possible with access to the supercomputer. With all of these data points, we could significantly accelerate the iteration time and unlock a new scale for the next generation of our model, TEO-2."
The development comes amid growing innovation in 3D healthcare technologies across various medical fields. Restor3d, a company specializing in 3D-printed orthopedic implants, secured $38 million in funding this April to advance its joint replacement solutions and AI-based planning tools. The investment round included participation from Summers Value Partners alongside existing and new private investors.
In parallel developments, Taiwan-based medtech company SURGLASSES has implemented its augmented reality-based surgical navigation system in Thailand, with Thailand Veterans General Hospital and Chulalongkorn Hospital successfully conducting their first AR-guided surgeries using the Caduceus S system. The SURGLASSES technology provides surgeons with enhanced 3D visualization of internal anatomical structures during procedures.
Further illustrating the expanding landscape of 3D medical technology, JelloX Biotech, another Taiwanese company, has established a collaboration with Mayo Clinic to advance its AI imaging solution for cancer diagnosis support. This partnership involves a knowledge-sharing agreement to develop and validate JelloX's 3D pathology imaging solution, which employs AI for spatial analysis of cancer tissue images.
