Artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics are increasingly used in global neurosurgery, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Research shows these technologies can improve care, but local data is crucial for success.
Area of Science:
- Neurosurgery
- Artificial Intelligence
- Robotics
- Global Health
Background:
- Neurosurgical disease burden is highest in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
- Application of AI and robotics in neurosurgery within LMICs is not well-characterized.
- These technologies have the potential to transform neurosurgical care globally.
Conclusions:
- AI and robotics increasingly support global neurosurgery by augmenting workforce and improving efficiency.
- Success is heavily dependent on data representation.
- Future work should focus on supporting local research capacity, leadership, and expanding applications to postoperative care.
