## Resource

Hospitals are sitting on hundreds of hours of unwatched surgical video. Residents and attendings simply do not have the time to review it together. The footage sits on thumb drives and gathers dust. Dr. Chloe Nobuhara is a general surgery resident at Stanford. She sat down with Healthcare IT Today to discuss a new AI application built specifically for laparoscopic surgery. This tool watches the footage and analyzes surgeon performance. It automatically chunks the operation into distinct steps. Viewers will learn why generic large language models fail in the operating room. You will discover how a highly specific model gives educators their time back and helps surgeons master complex skills. 🔔 Subscribe for more great interviews with Health IT leaders.
