Nvidia and Johnson & Johnson to develop new AI applications for surgery


Johnson & Johnson MedTech and Nvidia are developing new artificial intelligence applications for surgery.

The MedTech unit at J&J creates tools and solutions for conditions such as heart failure, kidney disease and stroke, and its technology is used in more than 75 million procedures each year, the company told CNBC. "I think all of us as patients should get really excited about the fact that this kind of technology is going to be able to enter in and be within reach of all the clinicians and all the hardworking nurses and all the health-care staff," Powell said. The companies are exploring how AI can help analyze surgical video at scale, as well as how it can automate some of the time-consuming documentation that takes place after a procedure.
