👉🏼 Artificial Intelligence Language Models Are Useful Tools for Patients Undergoing Total Ankle Replacement 🤓 Alan P Samsonov 👇🏻 https://lnkd.in/gXcU4aEX 🔍 Focus on data insights: - AI large language models like Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer (ChatGPT) are effective in providing information to patients undergoing total ankle replacement. - ChatGPT responses were graded as "A," "B," or "C," indicating the quality of information provided. - The study highlights the potential of AI language models in enhancing patient understanding of orthopaedic procedures. 💡 Main outcomes and implications: - ChatGPT provided good-quality responses to common questions about total ankle replacement. - The responses were understandable and aligned with current literature on TAR. - AI language models can serve as valuable resources for patients seeking information on surgical procedures. 📚 Field significance: - AI language models offer a new avenue for patient education and information dissemination in orthopaedic surgery. - Enhancing patient understanding through AI tools can lead to improved patient outcomes and satisfaction. - Further research and development in this area could revolutionize patient care in orthopaedics. 🗄️: [#ArtificialIntelligence #LanguageModels #TotalAnkleReplacement #Orthopaedics]

If you're wondering, like I am, about surgeons' perception of #AI-based clinical decision-making, I have a link to an interesting article. It describes the results of an international survey on AI-enhanced decision-making to assist trauma and emergency surgeons (650 surgeons from 71 countries participated). Despite the obvious advantages of #aiapplications (for instance, the volume and complexity of data AI can analyze substantially differ from what humans can do), in the case of trauma and emergency surgery, there are much more concerns about AI as a trustful tool. The study reveals a division within the trauma and emergency surgical community, with some surgeons enthusiastic about AI's potential while others lack understanding or mistrust of AI-enabled decision-making aids. I'd also like to highlight that the study, unfortunately, doesn't delve into specific AI technologies or tools, making the findings more general and not tailored to specific AI applications.  How do you utilize AI or plan to do it in your #neurosurgical practice? I'd be glad to hear more about your experience.  https://lnkd.in/dWFj67s3 #aidecisionmaking #clinicaldecisionmaking

📌 In some of my posts, I’ve already mentioned the importance of efficiently utilizing hospital historical data. The thing is that this data processed and analyzed with advanced algorithms leads to more efficient and effective healthcare delivery. Predictive analytics supports hospitals in their quest to provide high-quality patient-centered care. As an example of one of the use cases, you can read more about the #ML model built and trained based on the data accumulated in 2015 – ’22 in Taizhou People’s Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University. Researchers developed an algorithm to predict the risk of #postoperative surgical site infection after spine surgery. Patient information and both preoperative and intraoperative risk factors were considered. The link to the study is in the comments. ❓ What are the key considerations for successfully implementing ML models in healthcare settings? Let's discuss best practices and challenges. #spinesurgery #predictiveanalytics

I'd like to share my colleague's post where he has shared valuable insights on using historical #hospitaldata for more efficient healthcare delivery.  If this subject piques your interest, please feel free to reach out or share your thoughts in the comments! #Intetics #spinesurgery #predictiveanalytics #ML

If there ever was a “Year of AI”, it would be 2023. With the launch of new general-purpose services like GPT-3, as well as specialized services like MedPalm for healthcare, AI was center-stage, shaking the foundations of every industry. With so much focus on AI alone, the critical human-AI partnership has taken a backseat - the ‘better together’ idea of humans collaborating with AI, to both build new tools, and to get higher quality work done more efficiently. In this webinar, experienced healthcare AI leaders working across areas like dermatology, surgery, and radiology discuss the nuances of the human/AI partnership. They’ll discuss the critical role that clinicians play in helping to build AI, provide feedback to model developers, and eventually collaborate with new AI-powered tools.

MediTech Innovations- Artificial intelligence for Head transplantation(Real or fallacy) Head transplantation is a highly controversial topic in medicine. While some scientists believe it might be possible in the future, it's currently not a realistic medical procedure. The Idea Behind Head Transplants: The concept involves transplanting a human head from a donor body to a healthy recipient body with a functioning brain stem. Proponents envision this procedure as a potential treatment for severe spinal cord injuries, neurodegenerative diseases, or even terminal illness Potential Roles of AI in the Future While AI can't currently make head transplants a reality, some speculate about future possibilities: Surgical Planning: AI could potentially analyze medical scans and create detailed surgical plans for complex procedures. However, even the most sophisticated plan wouldn't overcome the fundamental challenges of nerve connection and immune rejection. Robot-Assisted Surgery: AI-powered robotic arms might offer greater precision and stability in surgery compared to human surgeons. But again, this wouldn't address the core biological issues that prevent head transplants. #ArtificialIntelligence #BME #medicalinnovation

Revolutionizing Eye Care: AI Matches Expert Ophthalmologists in Diagnostic Precision In a groundbreaking study, an LLM chatbot demonstrated remarkable diagnostic accuracy and completeness in evaluating glaucoma and retinal conditions, rivaling that of fellowship-trained ophthalmologists. This pivotal research underscores the potential of artificial intelligence to significantly enhance both diagnostic and therapeutic processes in ophthalmology. Findings reveal that AI can act as a powerful adjunct, augmenting the expertise of eye care professionals with its vast data analysis capabilities. This synergy between AI tools and ophthalmologists could usher in a new era of precision medicine, offering patients more accurate diagnoses and tailored treatments. As we stand on the brink of a technological revolution in healthcare, it’s crucial to continue exploring these innovations, ensuring they complement and amplify the invaluable work of healthcare professionals. https://lnkd.in/d2BAziGk 🔍 #EyeHealth #ArtificialIntelligence #Ophthalmology #InnovationInHealthcare #DigitalHealth #PrecisionMedicine #AIinMedicine
