George Murgatroyd, general manager and vice president of Digital Surgery at Medtronic, will join Kimberly Powell, vice president of Healthcare and Life Sciences at NVIDIA, in a fireside chat at NVIDIA GTC to explore the foundational technologies powering the digital transformation in healthcare.

Titled “Beyond Buzzwords - the Application of AI in the OR Today and Tomorrow,” Murgatroyd and Powell will address the incredible potential of digital technologies, including AI, machine learning, robotics and automation, digital ecosystems, big data and the cloud, to make healthcare better for all.

“While the convenience, connectivity, and computational power of modern technologies have become commonplace in our everyday life, most operating rooms are not equipped with them," says Murgatroyd. "There's a massive opportunity to deploy digital technologies like AI for the benefit of surgical teams, patients, and healthcare systems. Our fireside chat will explore this fascinating topic including the all-important why, and how do we make it a reality."

“AI is the building block for powerful decision-making tools, sensors, and robotics that will shape operating rooms of the future,” says Powell. “As a global leader in healthcare technology, Medtronic is at the forefront of this work to advance patient care through AI so my fireside chat with George promises to be both informative and inspiring."

NVIDIA GTC is the developer conference for the era of AI and the metaverse, focusing on the latest technologies and business breakthroughs shaping our world.

GTC will take place online from Sept. 19-22, 2022. The fireside chat, “Beyond Buzzwords - the Application of AI in the OR Today and Tomorrow,” will take place on Wednesday, Sept. 21, beginning at 8 a.m. PDT.
