Today, I want to address what I believe represents the next evolutionary leap: agentic AI applications in healthcare. Unlike passive AI tools that simply process information, agentic systems actively participate in the clinical workflow—observing, reasoning, and taking appropriate actions to support care delivery. The Current Landscape: Beyond Ambient Scribes Many clinicians have experience with today’s […]

The 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 […]
