Automation in Health Care
Published in Edward Y. Uechi, Business Automation and Its Effect on the Labor Force, 2023
Performing surgery is becoming minimally invasive, where instead of making a large incision, a small incision is made. Robotic-assisted surgery is a minimally-invasive approach that allows a surgeon to have precise control of surgical instruments whereby the risk to damaging neighboring organs and nerves is reduced. The Da Vinci surgical system is a machine designed with robotic arms that can handle and manipulate tiny instruments. A surgeon sits at a computer console, looking through a viewer that magnifies the interior of the patient’s body.

One of the most iconic examples of AI technology includes the utilisation of Siri by Apple product. Siri is a voice-activated personal assistant that provides user-friendly interactions to assist on requests for information, navigation, planning and communication. Siri uses natural language recognition AI system to navigate through smart devices and utilises its applications. A similar concept was applied for healthcare diagnosis under the name Watson by IBM product. A more recent breakthrough in AI has shown phenomenal achievements in surpassing human capabilities. The AlphaGo, an AI engineered to play the board game ‘Go’, has successfully won matches with the world champion Go player. Using advanced search tree with deep neural network technique, the AlphaGo goes through recursive gameplay simulation against itself, to develop multiple counter-play strategies (Fortunato et al. 2017). AlphaGo has even shown to develop its own move sets, unknown to many players, yet effective against all the strategies developed by humans passed through generations. Nonetheless, the AlphaGo is constricted within the game rule, which is a highly controlled environment. Such environment is unattainable in a real-world application. Another famous example is the fully autopilot AI system in Tesla and Google cars, capable of providing features such as self-driving, regulating navigation and predicting traffic events simultaneously. In medicine, particularly surgery, the da Vinci Surgical System is a robotic-powered AI-enhanced technology that translates hand coordination into smaller, precise movements of tiny instruments during surgical procedure. It has brought minimally invasive surgery to more than 3 million patients worldwide, rapidly improving post-surgical recovery and reducing mortality or morbidity-related complications. Such achievements are accomplished by integrating AI analysis, prediction and control manipulation into complex machinery equipped with multiple sensors to monitor its environment and movements.

Robotics surgical systems: The da Vinci surgical system is a robotics surgical system with robotic arms. It is used by various surgeons for precision surgery that is not possible manually. This robotic system is used in thyroid cancer removal, gastric bypass, hysterectomies, laparoscopic surgery, and a variety of other surgical procedures.

In today’s world, we can find many different applications for Artificial Intelligence (AI). AI and machine learning in sentiment analysis can be employed to spot fatigue to prevent overwork. Artificial neural networks are used as clinical decision support systems for medical diagnosis, such as in concept processing technology in EMR software. The Da Vinci Surgical System is a robotic surgical system that uses a minimally invasive surgical approach. The system is used for prostatectomies, and increasingly for cardiac valve repair, and renal and gynecologic surgical procedures. We live in a world that’s dominated by social media. In today’s world, social media have become ubiquitous and highly prevalent. With such a large number of users, many social media have become very influential where it can help connect people, share their updates, help people find employment, socialize virtually and improve one’s mental health. Truth be told, these days many major life decisions are made based on the content in people’s news feeds. Surprisingly social media has become a trillion-dollar a year industry with all of the valuable user data. As a matter of fact, social media are omnipresent, at large and have the scope to create greater results with little or less effort involved, through a stable network they provide different opportunities for different forms of communication. Additionally, these platforms can allow organizations and individuals to communicate in different ways (Cheng et al., 2010; DiMaio et al., 2011; Ismail et al., 2016; Rahimi et al., 2018).

All robot-assisted procedures were performed at a tertiary referral center by a surgical team consisting of two gynecological oncologists at the same time (surgeon A and B from inception to 2017, surgeon B and C from 2017 to 2021) using the da Vinci Surgical System (Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale, CA, USA, type S until 2010, Si until 2018, and X or Xi since 2018 onwards). From the introduction of a novice surgeon in 2017 (surgeon C), an experienced proctor (surgeon B) was present during 22 cases before the novice performed a SLN mapping procedure alone. During the inclusion period, robot-assisted surgery was the standard modality. No SLN mapping procedures were performed in endometrial cancer patients (as this was and is not considered standard-of-care in the Dutch guidelines), nor did we participate in any trial regarding SLN mapping or was there any prior SLN experience with 99mTc-nanocolloid that could have contributed to the learning curve. Before introducing 99mTc-nanocolloid with preoperative imaging, 11 robot-assisted SLN mapping procedures were performed with blue dye only.
