Artificial intelligence
The literature has produced a wealth of studies on AI's potential to
make procedures safer and more effective. AI can be used to assess
data collected from past cases to predict where polyps may be pres-
ent during screening colonoscopies. The information provides physi-
cians with a better ability to detect and diagnose colorectal polyps
they may have previously missed due to human error or blind spots
(osmag.net/eB9HqK).
Orthopedic surgeon Kevin Stone, MD, of San Francisco's Stone
Clinic, uses AI to perfect surgical techniques. Dr. Stone uploads his
medical records to an AI-driven data-mining system to perform out-
come studies on procedures his clinic has developed for meniscus
transplantation, Achilles tendon and cartilage repair, and comparison
of allograft and auto-
graft ACL reconstruc-
tions. Among other
benefits, the resulting
information gleaned
from AI enhances
patient safety. "We
don't think a doctor
should do something
to, or put something
in, a patient that they
don't study outcomes
for, and try to improve
the process," says Dr.
Stone.
