UNIVLABSAXIS CSM | Capabilities, architecture & integration
Inside AXIS CSM: capabilities, integration and deployment.
The detail behind the connected surgical case: what CSM records and manages, how it works with hospital systems, how AI assistance is governed, and how it is deployed. For the overview, see AXIS CSM.
The digital surgical case
More than a recording. A complete digital case context.
A surgical video becomes more valuable when it is connected to the clinical case it belongs to. Every CSM session creates a digital case folder that brings relevant information and procedural media together.
Patient & procedure information
Associate the case with the relevant patient reference, procedure, specialty and clinical context.
Operating room & surgical team
Record the operating-room location, procedure timing and participating clinical team.
Surgical recordings & media
Link captured videos and supported media to the right surgical case.
Clinical documentation
Organize case notes, procedural information and related documentation in supported workflows.
Review & follow-up
Let authorized clinicians retrieve and review case materials.
Hospital system connectivity
Where configured and validated, connect relevant information with existing hospital systems.

One case. Connected information.
AXIS CSM helps hospitals move from isolated recordings and scattered files toward structured, accessible surgical case information.
Two connected workflows
Capture every procedure. Connect expertise when it matters.
Capture. Organize. Preserve.
Surgical recording & media management
Connect surgical equipment
Capture supported outputs from laparoscopy, endoscopy, surgical microscopes, room cameras and other compatible imaging devices.
Record procedures
Record procedural video and supported audio through configured operating-room systems.
Associate recordings with cases
Link each recording to its surgical case information.
Manage clinical media
Organize recordings by case metadata, procedure, surgeon, specialty and date.
Review and share
Let authorized teams retrieve recordings, review segments and share approved content.
Turn surgical recordings into reusable clinical knowledge.
Expertise without boundaries
Live surgical collaboration
Remote surgical mentoring
Invite qualified experts into authorized sessions to provide professional guidance.
Surgical proctoring
Support structured observation for surgical training and technology adoption.
Operating room to classroom
Connect live procedures to classrooms, teaching rooms and auditoriums.
Multi-OR collaboration
Coordinate live sessions from several connected operating rooms.
Workshops & education
Run live demonstrations, education programmes and collaborative teaching events.
The operating room remains under the responsibility of the treating surgical team. Remote participants support collaboration and guidance within approved clinical workflows.
Connected clinical information
Surgical workflows should work with hospital systems.
Surgical case information is spread across hospital applications. AXIS CSM is designed to complement existing systems, connecting supported surgical workflows with relevant clinical information. The hospital’s EHR remains the authoritative record for the information it governs.

Not every connection is active in every deployment. Each integration is confirmed as working, configurable or planned during the technical assessment for your hospital.
| Workflow | CSM contribution | Important boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Patient and procedure identification | Associates surgical cases with relevant clinical information | Data may be entered manually or imported through configured interfaces |
| Surgical recording | Connects compatible procedural video to the surgical case | Device compatibility is validated for each site |
| Surgical documentation | Organizes recordings, procedure details and supported documentation | Does not replace the hospital's operative note or EHR |
| Post-operative review and learning | Makes authorized recordings available for review, teaching and research | Access, consent, retention and research approvals apply |
Integration availability depends on the hospital’s systems, supported interfaces, technical validation and deployment scope. Healthcare interoperability »
Less manual effort. More useful information.
Making surgical documentation easier.
Organizing recordings and preparing procedural information takes significant manual effort. AXIS CSM brings case information and recordings together to support more structured documentation. Where enabled, AXIS AI capabilities can assist with:
- Surgical video review and editing
- Procedural content organization
- Transcription and summarization
- Draft case documentation
- Finding relevant video segments
- Preparing educational or research material
Clinical documentation generated with AI assistance must be reviewed and approved by qualified healthcare professionals.
AI-assisted capabilities are offered according to their availability, configuration and validation status.
Learn from every procedure
Build a living library of surgical experience.
A surgical recording should not become a forgotten file on a hard drive. AXIS CSM organizes permitted recordings into institutional libraries for teaching, professional learning and case review.
Surgical case review
Authorized clinicians revisit cases and discuss procedural experience.
Medical education
Faculty-led learning with approved recordings and live demonstrations.
Surgical training
Relevant procedural material for structured training and professional development.
Knowledge sharing
Appropriate sharing across departments and participating institutions.
Research opportunities
Authorized recordings prepared for approved academic and clinical research.
The knowledge gained from one procedure can help educate the surgeons of tomorrow.
