Editorial review  ·  By MedAI Verdict

Bottom line

Case Insights is a video and performance review feature inside Intuitive's My Intuitive+ bundle, available only with the da Vinci 5 robot. Surgeons use it to replay a case, jump to key steps and read da Vinci metrics such as instrument force and clutch counts. Intuitive gives da Vinci 5 customers one free year and then charges a subscription, with no price in public reporting. It fits a hospital that already owns or is buying a da Vinci 5. A hospital on an older da Vinci or another robot cannot buy it.

What is Case Insights and who sells it?

Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ: ISRG) sells it. Intuitive's page says My Intuitive+ can "enhance your robotic-assisted surgery program with AI-powered video analysis, real-time surgical collaboration, and console-integrated simulation." Case Insights is the first of those pieces. It lets surgeons "review case video in real-time" with bookmarks and navigation to key moments, and lets them "explore da Vinci metrics" alongside the video and trended data. The other modules in the bundle are Telepresence and SimNow 2, a simulator with more than 50 exercises.

Trade coverage in MassDevice and R&D World describes machine-learning segmentation of a case into phases, plus performance metrics built from system data, kinematics and video. A 2026 study of early da Vinci 5 users lists case-level metrics including total duration, average instrument force, endoscope clutch count, hand controller clutch count and energy pedal count. In September 2026 a CE mark arrived for Force Feedback instruments, and force metrics from them can be reviewed in Case Insights, according to Med-Tech Insights.

What do surgeons say?

A CHRISTUS Health surgeon speaking at NVIDIA GTC 2026 compared it to reviewing game tape. The surgeon used the AI-segmented video to jump to a step and changed tissue handling in the next case (R&D World). A 2026 interview study of early da Vinci 5 users in the Journal of Robotic Surgery (PMID 42165919, 23 surgeons) reports that they valued benchmarking and training use. It covers the whole system, not this feature alone, and has no outcome data.

Intuitive management said the feature was not expected to bring significant revenue and that the company was still smoothing the computational pipelines and workflows (MassDevice).

What is its regulatory status?

The da Vinci 5 robot (model IS5000) received 510(k) clearance K232610 on March 14, 2024, and nine later IS5000 clearances run from July 2024 to September 2026. Whether any of them covers Case Insights is not stated. The feature does not appear by name on FDA's AI-enabled device list, where Intuitive's only entries are IRISeg (K242461, December 2024, and K251763, December 2025), a different feature.

What does it cost?

Da Vinci 5 customers get one free year of Case Insights and must subscribe afterward, according to MassDevice. No subscription price is in public reporting. For the robot itself, Intuitive expected the da Vinci 5 gross average selling price to be about 30% above Xi, or about 15% with the full stack.

The verdict

For a surgical program on da Vinci 5, the first year is free, and the surgeon account describes a practical use in reviewing a step before the next case. The subscription price after year one is unknown, and no outcome data connects the metrics to patient results. A hospital on an older da Vinci or another robot has no way in.
