J&J Medtech will use NVIDIA’s technology to expand the use of AI in surgery centers in assisting with surgical decision-making and collaborating across operating rooms.
Johnson & Johnson MedTech has partnered with Silicon Valley giant NVIDIA to advance the integration of artificial intelligence in surgical procedures.
The collaboration aims to enhance real-time analysis and broaden the use of AI algorithms in surgical decision-making, education and collaboration within operating rooms across J&J MedTech’s digital surgery ecosystem.
Through a memorandum of understanding, both companies will expedite the incorporation of AI into Johnson & Johnson MedTech’s surgical technologies, utilizing NVIDIA’s AI platform for healthcare.
J&J MedTech will utilize the chipmaker’s IGX edge computing platform and Holoscan edge AI platform to extend its open ecosystem for surgery, creating infrastructure to deploy AI-powered software applications in the OR.
Shan Jegatheeswaran, vice president and global head of digital at J&J MedTech, said the company’s work with NVIDIA will bring advanced edge computing to an open and secure digital ecosystem to power faster development, training and deployment of AI applications at scale.
“We’ve heard from surgeons about their desire to augment their expertise with data-driven insights and improve patient outcomes using AI,” he said in an email to MobiHealthNews. “We intend to fulfill this unmet need by supporting access to real-time data analysis and the availability of AI algorithms that enhance surgical decision-making.”
