[THE SURGICAL INTELLIGENCE REVOLUTION - APPLYING AI TO IMPROVE SURGICAL QUALITY AND SAFETY]

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine is rising fast. We continually hear about novel AI-based technologies being deployed to aid clinical teams in areas like interpreting medical images, understanding pathology, determining diagnosis, predicting prognosis, and deciding on interventions. The field of surgery, however, has been slower to jump on the AI bandwagon. In this paper, we present Surgical Intelligence, an innovative and fast-developing field involving routine capture and AI-based analysis of endoscopic procedure videos. We discuss the need for documenting surgical video, the potential benefits for training and quality improvement, and the features that allow Surgical Intelligence platforms to provide accessible and effective solutions for medical teams.
