The University of Maryland in Baltimore has announced plans to develop the first AI-powered “smart” ASC, Government Technology reported Oct. 21.
The planned 36,000-square-foot facility is being developed in partnership with Axis Research & Technologies. A location for the ASC has not yet been announced.
Axis will provide the ASC with training facilities designed to give familiarity and practice in real-world procedures using cadavers, along with access to medical devices and implants, new technique development and team training. Axis’ OR technology will also provide surgery students and professors with real-time, AI-driven analysis of OR video footage.
