Nvidia and Johnson & Johnson to develop new AI applications for surgery
Summary
For instance, the companies are using AI to analyze surgical video and automate the time-consuming documentation required after a procedure. The MedTech unit at J&J creates tools and solutions for conditions such as heart failure, kidney disease and stroke, and its technology is used in more than 75 million procedures each year, the company told CNBC. More accessible surgical video means residents will not have to solely depend on the insight and availability of the more experienced physicians at their institutions. However, she said nondiagnostic use cases such as automating paperwork will help save surgeons time and make a difference "right out of the gate." "I think all of us as patients should get really excited about the fact that this kind of technology is going to be able to enter in and be within reach of all the clinicians and all the hardworking nurses and all the health-care staff," Powell said.
