Artificial Intelligence in the Operating Room

While the challenges in the healthcare industry are constantly increasing, hospitals adopting new technologies have helped to alleviate some of those struggles in the operating room. Discussing this topic is Dennis Kogan, co-founder, and CEO of Caresyntax, and Eric King, investment director at Intel Capital with host Alex Flores, Director of Global Health Solutions at Intel's Network and Edge Group. "It becomes a delicate system that combines facility-specific issues," Kogan says. "Post-pandemic, there were factors like staffing where experienced nurses are leaving for various reasons and they are being replaced with, for example, younger professionals or traveling nurses which come into the system that is often quite tailored to individual setups of a facility or physician." Clearly, this change in operations has caused additional stress on staff and returning to pre-pandemic efficiency is a challenge.
