AI in the OR: One company is closing the gaps in surgery using technology

TechRepublic's Karen Roby spoke with Jennifer Fried, CEO of ExlplORer Surgical, about new artificial intelligence tech being used in surgeries. The following is an edited transcript of their conversation. Karen Roby: Talk a little bit about your background and how you moved to tech, and we'll get a little bit further into what you're doing from there. Jennifer Fried: Prior to this, I was working as a healthcare investor doing later-stage venture capital and growth-equity healthcare investing. I met my co-founder Dr. Alex Langerman when he was running a research lab within the department of surgery at University of Chicago Medical Center in 2013 and I just became really engrossed in his research and his vision for building a more digital and connected OR and bringing best practices to life.
