AI-based surgical support system
In conventional surgery, a skilled surgeon’s ability to recognize anatomical structures, plan the surgical process, and make decisions during the procedure are all tacit knowledge, so it takes a great deal of experience to master them.
SurVis™︎, an endoscopic surgery support program developed by Jmees, uses AI to analyze endoscopic surgery images in real time to support the surgeon’s ability to recognize organs, thereby enabling safer surgery.
