Webinar: Advancing Perioperative Care with Artifical Intelligence
Join the Editor-in-Chief of JMIR Perioperative Medicine, Dr. Nidhi Rohatgi, in conversation with Cleveland Clinic Innovation Lead and anesthesiologist, Dr. Piyush Mathur, as they explore the transformative role of AI across the perioperative continuum. This dynamic discussion will highlight both the opportunities and safety considerations of integrating AI into perioperative care - from preoperative risk assessment and medical optimization to patient education before and after surgery. The session will be led by Dr. Nidhi Rohatgi, Editor-in-Chief of JMIR Perioperative Medicine and Clinical Professor at Stanford University, alongside Dr. Piyush Mathur, an anesthesiologist, Intensivist, and Innovation Lead at Cleveland Clinic with over 20 years of clinical expertise. The session will also delve into real-world applications within the operating room and strategies for building a skilled workforce equipped to harness AI in improving perioperative care delivery.
Key Takeaways
- AI is reshaping the entire perioperative journey: The discussion highlights how AI can support care from preoperative risk assessment and patient optimization through to postoperative recovery.
- Safety, trust, and responsible integration remain central challenges: While AI offers major opportunities in perioperative care, validating tools, understanding limitations, and ensuring patient safety remain crucial.
- Workforce readiness is critical for successful adoption: A key focus is on preparing clinicians and healthcare systems to effectively use AI, including developing new skills, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, and building confidence in real-world applications.
