Sometimes, a simple shift in perspective leads to groundbreaking innovation. In this episode of The Intentional Surgeon, Sharon L. Stein welcomes Dr. Daniel A. Hashimoto, a trailblazing surgeon who is reshaping how artificial intelligence is integrated into surgical practice.
Dr. Daniel A. Hashimoto is a surgeon and AI expert dedicated to advancing technology in surgical practice. His research focuses on how artificial intelligence can enhance decision-making, reduce complications, and improve patient care.
Dr. Hashimoto explores how AI can refine our approach to cholecystectomy, reducing injuries by focusing on how we identify the cystic duct. What if AI could not only enhance precision but also predict patient outcomes with greater accuracy?
Imagine an NSQIP calculator on steroids—one that factors in patient details, disease states, and even a surgeon’s individual skill set. Dr. Hashimoto breaks down how data augmentation in AI can help us better predict surgical risks and benefits on a case-by-case basis.
Inspired by Moneyball, which revolutionized baseball through data analytics, this episode delves into how AI can track even the smallest surgical details—like a 5cc blood loss—to cumulatively enhance patient outcomes. What are the opportunities and challenges of using AI in surgery? Tune in to hear Dr. Hashimoto’s insights on how AI is transforming surgical decision-making.
