In this session moderated by Stefano Bini, MD and  Charlie DeCooke, MD, we heard from three start up companies we love.  We asked them the tough questions someone in private practice would ask. Richard Bolander, CEO of TracPatch, started us off by presenting a wearable device for monitoring post-surgical recovery. The presentation highlighted the transition

In this episode of DOCSF Science, a distinguished panel  explores the impact of AI on orthopedic surgery, discussing studies on applications like ChatGPT for knee pain diagnostics and surgical decision-making. They provide critical analysis of several papers, examining topics such as AI’s potential to assist in triage, surgical recommendations, and managing complex clinical data. The

In this insightful session, experts delve into the evolving role of robotics in various domains, particularly in surgery. Stefano Bini, MD, Hans Peter Brondmo, and Stefan Kreuzer, MD discuss the advancements, challenges, and future prospects of integrating robotics in healthcare and beyond. Key topics include the debate over the effectiveness of surgical robots, the potential

Edouard Saget, co-founder and CEO of Orthogrid Systems,  discusses the application and benefits of AI in the operating room (OR). He emphasizes the importance of minimizing the cognitive workload on surgeons and how AI can optimize performance, enhance engagement, and minimize errors. The presentation covers the practical integration of AI into surgical processes, highlighting the

Thomas Barber, MD, discusses the potential and challenges of implementing AI in orthopedic surgery, focusing on improving daily tasks and efficiency. He discusses the importance of proper data ownership and access and provides various examples where AI can streamline processes such as managing patient messages, triaging cases, automating medical record handling, and supporting research efforts.

This podcast episode explores the concept of AI as hyper-specialized agents, rather than a monolithic entity. It delves into the role of generative AI and how it creates a sense of understanding through language models. The episode also covers the ‘hallucination’ phenomenon, explaining how and why it happens, and introduces concepts like Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)

This session of the Digital Orthopaedics Conference is focuses on introducing those of us working in the orthopedic space to the very exciting new field of AI agents and their potential applications in orthopedics, highlighting the concepts of reactive and adaptable agents. Reactive agents are simple, rule-based systems working well in structured environments, like thermostats.

In this opening session at DOCSF, Daniel Kraft, MD, a bone marrow transplant physician and faculty member at Stanford as well as founder and chair of the Next Med conference, provides an engaging overview of the future of AI and robotics in health and orthopedics.  Emphasis is placed on the integration, democratization, and ethical considerations
