Leveraging Big Data in Surgery through HL7 Integration and Computer Vision
Archan Khandekar, MD, delivers a compelling presentation on integrating Big Data into surgery. The 10-minute talk explores the evolution of healthcare data, from adopting electronic health records to cutting-edge technologies like computer vision and AI-driven surgical assistance.
Dr. Khandekar highlights how traditional data sources such as labs and medical histories are now complemented by innovative tools like operative videos and robotic kinematic data. He delves into the transformative role of AI in enhancing surgical workflow, predicting outcomes, and improving documentation accuracy. He includes real-world applications, such as using computer vision to calculate ischemia times and integrating data from diverse sources to scale analytics for large populations.
Challenges, including data privacy, user adoption, and system integration, are addressed alongside ethical considerations in AI implementation. With a forward-looking perspective, Dr. Khandekar envisions a future where AI supports real-time intraoperative guidance and skill assessment.
