Digital Surgery (originally Touch Surgery / Kinosis) is a London-based surgical artificial intelligence company backed by Balderton Capital and acquired by Medtronic in 2020, where it now operates as part of Medtronic's Covidien surgical business. It builds the Touch Surgery ecosystem of surgical simulation and training tools and Touch Surgery Enterprise, an AI-powered platform for recording, analyzing, and reviewing surgical video in the operating room. The company does not publish a public developer program or API; digitalsurgery.com now redirects to Medtronic's Digital Surgery product page. This profile remains a network stub awaiting a real developer surface.
digitalsurgery is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Surgery, Healthcare, Artificial Intelligence, and Medical Devices.
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the
Health regime, so
Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite.
If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your
provider repo — the
applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for
this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero:
never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and
several others — scorable at all.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them,
because the conditional facet above carries the other
15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped
maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal
weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
