johnson & johnson MedTech partners with Silicon Valley giant Nvidia Advancing the integration of artificial intelligence in surgery.
This collaboration aims to power real-time analytics.Across J&J MedTech's digital surgical ecosystem, we will expand the use of AI algorithms in surgical decision-making, education, and collaboration within the operating room.
Through the memorandum, the companies will leverage NVIDIA's AI platform for healthcare to accelerate the integration of AI into Johnson & Johnson MedTech's surgical technology.
J&J MedTech leverages the chipmaker's IGX edge computing platform and Holoscan edge AI platform to expand its open surgical ecosystem and create an infrastructure to bring AI-powered software applications to the operating room. Masu.
Shan Jegatheeswaran, vice president and global head of digital at J&J MedTech, said the company's collaboration with NVIDIA will bring advanced edge computing into an open and secure digital ecosystem, enabling faster AI applications at scale. development, training and deployment will be strengthened.
„We're hearing from surgeons that they want to enhance their expertise with data-driven insights and use AI to improve patient outcomes,“ he said in an email. Mobi Health News. “We intend to meet this unmet need by supporting access to real-time data analytics and the availability of AI algorithms to enhance surgical decision-making.”
Why is it important?
The surgeon Well-positioned to support AI integration In modern OR practice. For example, AI algorithms can overlay surgical guidance onto live video or predict how long a surgery will take.
Jegatheeswaran said he believes AI has the potential to improve patient outcomes by providing real-time insights to surgeons.
However, he noted that one of the biggest obstacles to large-scale surgical AI is the closed nature of surgical techniques.
“The expansion of AI will increase surgical efficiency, enhance clinical decision guidance, improve surgical training, and provide a better experience for surgeons, clinical staff, and patients,” he said. Ta.
This could allow AI algorithms to analyze live and stored data in real-time, reducing the need to transfer sensitive patient data.
“Advanced edge computing enables localized data processing,” Jegatheeswaran said. “The application is fully functional within a secure computing environment, accelerating processing in the operating room.”
bigger trends
Proprioan AI-enabled surgical technology company, has developed an FDA-cleared surgical navigation platform called Paradigm that utilizes light field technology and I. Real-time 3D visualization of surgery.
In addition to the use of AI in surgery, advances are also being made in the following areas: virtual reality and Augmented reality To assist doctors in their operations.
zeta surgical We recently received FDA special 510(k) clearance for FDA enhancements. Mixed reality cranial navigation systemIt provides real-time guidance with millimeter precision and eliminates the need for general anesthesia or rigid skull immobilization.
Mixed reality is also seen as a means of support Surgical planning for transplantation.
