Ivo Broeders, surgeon at Meander Medisch Centrum and professor of Robotics and Minimally Invasive Interventions at the University of Twente, introduced robotic surgery into the operating room some 21 years ago. Now he is concerned with the extent to which AI can add value within healthcare.
Ivo Broeders: “Robotic surgery is now used quite routinely in procedures such as exploratory surgeries. The next wave of technological innovation I foresee is AI. It will have an impact on my field—surgery.”

However, the computer and AI can look along and support doctors, reducing doctors' fear of missing diagnoses."
