4 Ways AI Can Benefit Robotic Surgery
🤖 AI has already proven to be effective in medical diagnostics and patient monitoring. Integrating AI into the operating room is the next logical step in implementing AI-powered systems.
Below are 4 ways robotic surgery can use AI to enhance care, improve patient outcomes, and transform the industry 👇
◼️Big data learning
AI-based systems can absorb a sea of information in seconds. Surgical robotics can be designed with "superhuman" advantages at its core that optimize AI to maximize the potential of information. Not limited by time or memory, AI-based systems can retrieve records of thousands of surgeries in seconds and remember the first procedure they observed with the same accuracy as the last.
◼️Recognize new trends
By learning from thousands of different surgeries, AI-based systems can provide new indications for the best surgical techniques that were previously unexplored. Identifying patterns and trends can change the way certain procedures are performed, providing surgeons and patients with a better experience. This could lead to standardization of practice, as surgeons around the world will perform AI-guided procedures following the same methods to achieve the best results.
◼️Reduce cognitive and physical stress
In addition to collecting a large amount of information to study and develop trends, AI can improve robotic surgery by reducing surgeons' stress. Determining the optimal steps according to the needs of each patient can save important operating time and free surgeons from cognitive stress, allowing them to perform a higher volume of procedures at a higher level with more favorable outcomes.
◼️Rethinking surgical care
AI can ensure that more doctors have access to training opportunities with the best in their field and thus help more healthcare providers perform surgical procedures. Regardless of where they are located and what resources they have access to, surgeons can learn and use AI-powered surgical robotics to reach a wider patient population.
