Surgeons at London, England-based Imperial College became the first to use Digital Surgery's artificial intelligence system in the operating room.
The technology has the potential to reduce risks during surgery through its proprietary surgical procedure road maps.
Here’s what you need to know:
1. The AI platform can act as a navigational system for operating rooms and surgery centers through addressing the common variables surgical teams face, including language and the skill and training of the surgical team.
2. The technology visualizes what is happening in real-time through a camera view and cross-checks and correlates the anatomy and actions against a library of surgical road maps.
3. The AI platform the analyzes, predicts and spits out the next steps to the OR team in real time.
4. The AI technology has the potential to make surgery more affordable and accessible due to alternatives such as robotics and telemedicine that can require expensive equipment and resources.
