Stanford-trained Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon Sina Bari MD is a leading medical device and information technology innovator. His knowledge and expertise are well-respected across the industry as a considered voice in the development of Medical Artificial Intelligence. Dr. Bari arrived at his current career via a meandering route. Following his father's death at age 8, he learned computer programming while translating his mother's computer science textbooks into English. By high school, he had learned advanced UNIX networking and developed biological simulation software using early parallel supercomputers. Working in IT helped pay for college and medical school, where Sina excelled academically. Dr. Bari graduated from the top of his class at Stanford School of Medicine and was chosen as one of only three participants in the noted Stanford Hospital and Clinics' accelerated residency program for plastic and reconstructive surgery. He participated in the Stanford Bioinnovation program, developing devices on the market to reduce infection during peritoneal dialysis.
Learn MoreThe term “robot” was introduced to the public by Czech interwar writer Karel Capek in his 1920 play, ‘Rossum’s Universal Robots. Surgical robots eliminate physiological tremors, giving surgeons greater control in minimally invasive surgeries and reducing the risk of iatrogenic injury. They also enable more accurate resection, minimize blood loss and the need for narcotic […]
Large language models (LLMs) are a major advancement in AI, with the promise of transforming domains through learned knowledge. LLMs are based on the transformer architecture, which uses self-attention to encode and decode sequences of tokens. Transformer models have been growing rapidly in size and complexity, reaching billions of parameters and requiring massive amounts of […]
With the help of robots, machines, and AI, the future of surgery is getting very exciting. Do you think artificial intelligence could someday take a surgeon’s job? Yes, but it would have to be in conjunction with advanced robotics. Machines will never be able to replace all the human qualities that surgeons bring to their […]
Medical artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize the healthcare industry and bring about significant improvements in patient outcomes and quality of care. However, as with any new technology, important ethical considerations must be taken into account. In this article, we will explore some of the ethical challenges posed by medical AI and examine […]
