The (CAMLS), part of the T (TMRD), has become the first institution in 91社区 and third in the world to install GE HealthCare鈥檚 Allia Moveo, a next-generation, image-guided therapy (IGT) solution designed to deliver exceptional mobility, workflow efficiency, and image quality for minimally invasive procedures. This milestone builds upon a longstanding relationship between l (TGH), USF Health, and to advance clinical innovation, health care training and patient outcomes across the region and country.
CAMLS, one of the world鈥檚 largest free-standing simulation facilities dedicated exclusively to healthcare training, will become the first simulation center in the world to integrate Allia Moveo into its advanced education and simulation programs for students, faculty, and practicing clinicians. This will enable providers to train on innovative hybrid operating room technology typically found in leading medical centers.
鈥淕aining access to the latest surgical imaging and guidance technologies further ensures that innovation in education keeps pace with innovation in care,鈥 said , executive director of CAMLS and associate vice president of Interprofessional Education and Practice with USF Health. 鈥淭ogether, we鈥檙e creating a training ecosystem that strengthens clinical confidence and, ultimately, shapes a future where every patient benefits from the most advanced surgical techniques available.鈥
鈥淥ur Tampa Medical & Research District is leading the way in building a better healthcare system and driving the next generation of life science advancements across clinical care, academics, research, biotechnology and innovation,鈥 said , president and CEO, Tampa General Hospital. 鈥淭his collaboration will further help lead the charge to expand access to world-class healthcare in the region and beyond.鈥
As minimally invasive surgery (MIS) accelerates globally, driven by patient benefits that include reduced pain, shortened hospital stays, and fewer complications, the pace and complexity of innovations like robotics, advanced imaging, and AI enabled workflows are outpacing traditional training models. This underscores the need for high fidelity simulation centers such as CAMLS in helping teams achieve procedural efficiency, maintain radiation safety, master imaging guided navigation, and coordinate seamlessly across multidisciplinary hybrid OR environments.
鈥淭his relationship reflects the very best of what can be achieved when academic excellence, clinical expertise and innovative technology come together with a shared purpose,鈥 said Catherine Estrampes, president and CEO U.S. & Canada, GE HealthCare. 鈥淭his will provide clinicians with the tools and training they need to deliver more precise and personalized care. Ultimately, patients benefit most because when we elevate the way clinicians learn and practice, we elevate the quality-of-care patients receive.鈥

By incorporating Allia Moveo into CAMLS鈥 simulation-based learning environment, multidisciplinary teams will gain hands-on experience with the same advanced technology increasingly used in complex minimally invasive procedures, helping ensure the next generation of providers is prepared to meet rising clinical demands. The technology features a slim, compact, cable-free C-arm that enables full movement and unobstructed patient access, a wide-bore C-arm designed to accommodate a diverse patient population and enable Cone Beam CT (CBCT) imaging, even with patients鈥 arms down, and AI-powered workflow tools to streamline procedures and help deliver more personalized patient experiences.
This installation also supports the broader vision of the Tampa Medical & Research District (TMRD), anchored by Tampa General Hospital and the , to create a robust, inclusive healthcare and life sciences ecosystem that attracts top clinicians, researchers, educators and industry partners to Tampa. Together, these organizations drive discovery, accelerate innovation, and enhance patient care within one of the largest academic health systems in the country.
A second Allia Moveo system is scheduled to be installed later in 2026 at Tampa General Hospital for clinical use in its hybrid operating room suite, further expanding the capabilities of one of the country鈥檚 leading academic health systems and reinforcing the Tampa Medical & Research District as a hub for healthcare excellence, training and innovation.
