Johnson & Johnson MedTech and Nvidia announced on Monday, March 18, that they are working together to develop and expand new artificial intelligence (AI) applications designed for surgery. Kimberly Powell, Nvidia’s vice president of health care, said that with J&J, they plan to integrate AI across devices and platforms from pre-operations to post-operations to ensure that surgeons have access to all the information they need.
According to CNBC, Johnson & Johnson MedTech makes devices and solutions for kidney disease, stroke, and heart failure. It told the publication that its technology is used in over 75 million procedures annually.
Applying AI in Surgery Procedures
The global head of digital at J&J MedTech, Shan Jegatheeswaran, said that just one minute of a surgical video already corresponds to about 25 CT scans. Therefore, the AI integration into the system will offer better computation capability and infrastructure to interpret and share those videos widely, making the system more robust for surgeons.
For example, firms using AI to study a surgical video may automate the usually long documentation process needed after any procedure. This makes the entire task easier and faster for everyone.
Future of Surgery With AI Application
Nvidia and Johnson & Johnson MedTech have joined forces to advance the use of AI in surgeries. This technology offers an edge in computing to allow for localized data processing inside the operating room, an essential step for AI algorithms in analyzing live and stored surgical data in real time.
This method can also lessen the need to transfer sensitive data while allowing specific applications to run independently within the secure computing environment and delivering ultra-low latency in the OR, where every second is always crucial.
“Johnson & Johnson MedTech is advancing healthcare toward a future that is more connected and personalized,” J&J MedTech’s executive vice president and worldwide chairman, Tim Schmid, said in a press release. “This future will be increasingly enabled by digital technologies that deliver efficiency, inform decision-making, and extend surgical training and education.”
He added, “Our deep heritage in healthcare and digital ecosystem in surgery and NVIDIA’s AI platforms hold enormous potential to create a more connected surgical experience.”
