Organizing the Knowledge That Runs the Operating Room

GownCard is a procedural knowledge platform for surgical teams. Your whole team works from one approved GownCard Procedure Card instead of piecing it together mid-case.

The preference card tells you what to pull. A GownCard Procedure Card is the recipe for how the case actually runs.

How It Works

  1. 1

    Capture What the Team Knows

    Nurses, techs and surgeons contribute the details that usually live in heads and on sticky notes.

  2. 2

    AI Helps Organize

    Dictation, notes and uploads become a structured GownCard Procedure Card.

  3. 3

    Surgeon Decides What Goes Live

    Nothing goes live until you approve it. Your team reads the current card from a link, with no account needed. Team members who create a free account can suggest improvements.

  4. 4

    One Place for the Case

    Everyone opens the same current, approved card before the case, so the plan doesn't depend on who remembers it.

AI Organizes. It Never Authors.

A Procedure Card is clinical knowledge. GownCard treats it that way.

  • Clinicians Decide. GownCard helps turn dictation and notes into a structured draft. The surgeon reviews the clinical details before sharing the card with the team.
  • Review What Matters. Unclear or conflicting details are flagged for review rather than treated as settled instructions.
  • Improve It Together. Team members can suggest changes. The surgeon or an authorized designee approves updates before they appear on the shared card.
  • Keep a Record. Approved versions preserve the history of how the card has changed.

Built for the Whole Room

Surgeons

Capture how you actually do the case, from room setup to critical decisions. Share the plan once and keep it current as your practice evolves.

OR Teams

Nurses, surgical technologists, and anesthesia teams can review the surgeon's plan before the case, flag gaps, and suggest updates for the surgeon to approve. Available on desktop or phone.

Hospitals & ASCs

Keep procedural knowledge accessible as staff rotate and new surgeons join. Help teams prepare consistently, anticipate safety concerns, and use supplies thoughtfully.

We're working with a small number of facilities during alpha.
