Applications of AI and Machine Learning in the Operating Room

By

Do you remember the times when back cameras in cars were just starting? Blurry cameras with no night vision and today newer cars not only have cameras that make it seem day but sensors and cameras that show your car from end to end. 

In higher-up models, you even get a top 360 view around your car, clearly seeing every hurdle in your surroundings. These cameras and sensors are exactly where AI and robotics are playing a role. 

For instance, in this demonstration available on the Ted platform they show you how robots and AI together change the basic endoscopy procedure, where instead of a big camera going through your airway to your colon, which is an expensive, and time-consuming process to a tiny bot with cameras and sensors that’s swallowed as a pill. 

Then with the help of a remote, it can be moved around the stomach and closely look for any discrepancies making early discovery of illness and rare diseases possible. Till this point it is robotics but a step ahead is to combine all this imagery and add tags to feed AI. Over time it will be able to study and while moving inside the body detect signs of diseases. This will be a game-changer for surgical Diagnosis over time. 

After this tech is advanced it is possible to have these teeny tiny robots build enough precision to remove clots from veins, nerves, and heart clots and maybe someday bypass and heart surgeries would have been possible without that much of a risk.

In operation, we have seen it in action for gene sequencing procedures while in surgery, it takes a sample of the tumor, studies the DNA identifies tumor types and subtypes, and then suggests the course of action while in surgery. This is a tool for the surgeon and works to assist it with the right procedure. 

Cancer can be detected early on with AI, its cost comes down, and AI helps by detecting DNA sequencing based on AI and ML tools. This becomes a diagnostic tool during brain surgeries of central nervous system(CNS) tumors, one of the lethal types of tumor. 

This new method takes into account faster genetic sequencing techniques and applies them while in surgery, allowing it to return results before a surgeon has started operating on the edges of a tumor. This technology becomes even sounder when it is able to identify the exact type of tumor, allowing for the appropriate surgical strategies to be applied immediately. 

Technologies like these take surgical robotics and computer-assisted surgery to grow from $6.1 billion to $11.6 billion by 2025. These robots assist in surgery by tracking surgical tool movement and progression They can assist from cutting to closure keeping track of the next steps. 

Various leading medical institutions have taken these robotics into their daily workflow and have seen shorter surgeries, increased efficiency, and fewer post-op complications. These bots learn from previous data, which results in enhanced operational efficiency. 

Machine learning enables more effective resource scheduling and OR scheduling enhancing overall hospital efficiency. This reduces patient wait times and backlogs. Fewer medical staff and a greater load on healthcare systems due to the growing elderly population.

With this much accuracy in operational and procedural activities, Machine learning has proven to be of greater worth than anticipated. It plays a crucial role in such a sensitive area that is dealing with life-and-death situations at times. This is due to their precise capabilities of prediction and generation. These ML-powered medical procedures will continue to improve in quality, efficiency, and training.
