Introduction
Artisight is a Chicago-based healthcare technology company that builds what it calls a Smart Hospital Platform — an inpatient stack combining computer vision, voice-activated sensors, and artificial intelligence to support virtual nursing, virtual sitting, fall monitoring, and automated documentation tied to electronic health records. Andrew Gostine, MD, MBA, serves as co-founder and chief executive officer per Artisight’s about page, which emphasizes clinician-led product design informed by real hospital workflows rather than generic facility automation.
On May 21, 2026, Artisight announced that The MetroHealth System — Northeast Ohio’s largest safety-net health system — selected its platform for deployment across nearly 500 patient rooms spanning five facilities in the Cleveland area. Brel cites this release because it names concrete operational KPIs — staffing efficiency, length-of-stay throughput, fall-rate reduction, HCAHPS education scores, and caregiver satisfaction — rather than describing smart rooms as a conceptual upgrade.
MetroHealth’s deployment begins at The Glick Center and expands over two years to hospitals in Brecksville, Cleveland Heights, Parma, and the MetroHealth Rehabilitation Institute in Old Brooklyn. The release states the platform integrates with Epic, nurse call, clinical communications, and patient infotainment systems so teams can adopt virtual capabilities without replacing existing vendor infrastructure.
What the company does
Artisight’s platform uses in-room sensors and AI to enable clinical teams to conduct virtual patient observation, virtual nursing interactions, and remote consultations from a unified system. AI-powered fall monitoring and voice command capabilities launch at MetroHealth with additional patient safety tools planned in later phases. The company also markets operating-room applications and ambient documentation that writes structured data into the EHR, extending beyond one-to-one virtual sitting into throughput and documentation automation.
Artisight describes a five-level implementation model on its about page, allowing hospitals to advance smart-hospital capabilities incrementally while reusing existing cameras and EMR connections. Subscription pricing includes hardware refresh and software updates, reflecting a capital-light deployment model aimed at CFOs wary of obsolescence in rapidly evolving AI hardware cycles.
Who it serves
Artisight sells to integrated delivery networks and academic and community hospitals facing nurse staffing pressure, fall-related harm, and discharge bottlenecks. Named enterprise customers referenced in Artisight press materials include WellSpan Health, UChicago Medicine, ECU Health, and Bryan Health, alongside MetroHealth’s May 2026 selection. Buyers are typically chief nursing officers, chief medical informatics officers, and operations executives evaluating whether virtual care tools reduce 1-to-1 sitter labor without degrading HCAHPS communication scores.
MetroHealth serves urban and suburban Cleveland across an academic medical center and more than a dozen health centers — a patient mix where throughput and safety metrics matter as much as technology novelty. Artisight quotes Jill Evans, MSN, RN, NI-BC, MetroHealth chief nursing informatics officer and executive director of virtual care, on transforming traditional settings into technology-enabled healing spaces.
Company background
Artisight was founded in 2015 in Chicago by Andrew Gostine alongside Garrett Larance and Tim Koby, debuting with an operating-room efficiency application before expanding into patient rooms and clinics during the COVID-19 period per company history on its about page. Gostine’s clinical background — he is listed as co-founder and CEO with chief medical and nursing officers on the leadership roster — shapes Artisight’s positioning as clinician-built inpatient AI rather than generic IoT retrofitting.
The company rebranded and raised growth equity in 2023, then closed an oversubscribed $42 million Series B in 2024 with NVIDIA participation. Artisight reports KLAS Emerging Solutions recognition in 2025 and deployments across more than 100 hospitals before MetroHealth’s 2026 enterprise agreement. Gostine remains the quoted executive voice in major customer selection releases.
Product and AI capabilities
Artisight applies computer vision and voice AI to inpatient environments where latency and false-alert fatigue determine whether staff trust automated monitoring. Fall detection, voice-activated nurse calls, and virtual nursing workflows require models tuned to hospital room layouts and acuity levels. The platform’s Epic integration at MetroHealth illustrates the technical bar: ambient and visual AI must surface alerts inside existing clinical communication paths rather than standalone tablet apps clinicians ignore during code situations.
Artisight also collaborates with NVIDIA and KARL STORZ on AI-driven operating-room monitoring per its newsroom, extending the same sensor-and-AI stack from med-surg units into procedural environments where documentation and equipment utilization carry different compliance requirements.
Key developments
2015: Artisight founded in Chicago; operating-room product launched. 2019–2020: Platform adopted across dozens of U.S. hospital systems during COVID-19 operational strain. 2024: $42 million Series B with NVIDIA; 100+ hospital deployments cited. May 21, 2026: MetroHealth selects Smart Hospital Platform for ~500 rooms with virtual nursing, virtual sitting, and AI fall monitoring integrated with Epic.
MetroHealth defines five success metrics for the deployment: staffing efficiency and cost reduction; throughput and length-of-stay improvement; fall rate reduction per 1,000 patient days; HCAHPS education and communication gains; and caregiver satisfaction reflecting workload relief. Artisight cites outcomes from other deployments including fourfold increases in on-time discharges and more than 30 minutes saved per nurse shift on administrative tasks.
Why it matters
Artisight matters because inpatient AI procurement often splinters across virtual sitter vendors, fall-prevention cameras, and documentation scribes with incompatible dashboards. Artisight’s MetroHealth agreement tests unified smart-room infrastructure with contractually defined KPIs — a buying pattern hospital boards can compare against ambient documentation vendors such as Abridge that focus on outpatient conversation capture rather than bedside computer vision.
Gostine’s quoted emphasis on replacing fragmented virtual care with a single platform reflects a recurring 2026 health-system theme: consolidate AI vendors to reduce integration debt while measuring nursing minutes returned and fall harm avoided, not pilot NPS alone.
Sector context
Artisight belongs in Brel’s AI in healthcare coverage under hospital operations and inpatient ambient AI, distinct from outpatient ambient documentation companies such as Abridge and Ambience Healthcare. Imaging AI vendors like Qure.ai share the computer-vision label but sell into radiology PACS workflows with different liability and reimbursement profiles than nursing-unit fall monitoring.
