Johnson & Johnson MedTech Polyphonic—multimodal surgical AI ecosystem on AWS

Use case typeMultimodal analyticsUpdated Jun 15, 2026

Johnson & Johnson MedTech is building Polyphonic, an open, device-agnostic multimodal AI ecosystem for surgery. The platform captures intra-operative surgical video, imaging, device logs, and EHR signals, curates de-identified datasets, develops models, and embeds AI solutions into the clinical workflows where surgeons and care teams work. AWS provides the architecture foundation, including EKS Auto Mode, Aurora PostgreSQL, Control Tower, and OpenSearch, to handle data volume, AI workloads, and compliance requirements.
