Recent advances in machine learning methodologies have made it possible to develop algorithms capable of advanced functions related to perception and cognition, leading to improvement in diagnostic and therapeutic interventions in medicine. In this presentation, we will explore how deep learning for computer vision can be used to provide real-time guidance to surgeons and augment their performance. We will also discuss the burgeoning field of surgical data science, including the many applications of machine learning for improving patient care throughout the many phases of their journey in the health care system.

Dr. Amin Madani is an endocrine and acute care surgeon at the University Health Network (Toronto, Canada) and assistant professor of surgery at the University of Toronto. He specializes in the surgical management of thyroid, parathyroid and adrenal diseases. He is also the director of the Surgical Artificial Intelligence Research Academy, where he leads a multidisciplinary team of clinicians, data scientists, engineers and game developers. Dr. Madani’s research focus is in surgical expertise and the use of technology to optimize performance in the operating room.
