Problem
Surgical knowledge transfer traditionally relies on in-person observation and mentorship, which can be geographically limited and difficult to scale. Sharing surgical techniques and insights is further complicated by the lack of easy-to-use tools for recording, annotating, and securely storing surgical videos.

The platform allows users to record directly through a mobile app connected to surgery tower equipment or upload existing videos via a web portal. Instrumentor facilitates collaboration and knowledge sharing by allowing surgeons to search, comment on, and annotate videos with drawings and voice notes. These features enable surgeons to share techniques, discuss cases, and solicit feedback from peers, ultimately aiming to improve surgical skill development and patient outcomes.
