Medicrea
The Importance of Artificial Intelligence to Improve Outcomes and Efficiencies through Standardization
Moderator: Rajiv Sethi, MD
Faculty: Christopher Ames, MD; Evalina Burger, MD; Christopher Kleck, MD; Rajiv Sethi, MD
Spinal deformities are complex conditions leading to variability in care outcome and cost. Maximizing the care value equation, i.e. improving the health outcomes while reducing the cost of care delivery, has become the most important challenge for the industry.
Using artificial intelligence, predictive modeling, and patient specific implants, MEDICREA®’s UNiD® ASI platform is driving the change toward standardization by improving outcomes predictability and reproducibility.
Please join us for this industry workshop that will go over:
- The importance of standardization for spinal surgery.
- The current challenges in adult spinal deformity and the opportunity offered by A.I.
- The presentation of MEDICREA® UNiD® ASI platform through case examples.
