Robert Scoble talks with experts about how robots and AI are changing medicine. Robots now perform eye surgery and precise incisions, while AI overlays help visualize patient anatomy during procedures. AI can predict cancer from scans and which patients might be readmitted to the hospital.
Whoa. It's going to tell them how to do the incision. Fuck that. They're not going to do this. Then the robot is going to do the incision and the doctor's going to watch the robot and make sure that it's working. Right? And maybe training the robot to do a new surgery. Right? Because doing an incision that's already. The robots in the medical. In the surgery rooms already do that, right? We are doing operations on your eyes with robots and artificial intelligence already. Because it's more accurate than a freaking doctor's hand, right? And it can see sense the surface of your eye and line up the little lasers that are going to cut your eye open and do various things to fix your eyes. Right?
And it'll probably also tell them things like, this patient might be more likely to be readmitted. This patient might also have this type of illness.
All sorts of stuff that's going to be laid on top of your medical record. I saw MRI scans that can tell whether you have cancer and what kind of cancer in the scanner. It's faster than a doctor, more accurate than a doctor. And it's laser on top of you so the doctor can see, oh, yeah, here's your MRI scan right on your. And if that doctor has to operate on you, they can see what? Where things are laid right on top of you.
Right, Gotcha.
Make sure that they do the incision in the right place. Right. And don't make mistakes like they've made in the past, Right?
