Interview with Dr. Vikas Karade, CEO of AlgoSurg
In the realm of medical technology, AlgoSurg stands out as a trailblazer, offering a comprehensive solution for surgical planning across various procedures and surgeries.
The company's unique approach leverages convolutional neural networks and deep learning models to convert 2D images into precise 3D bone models automatically 1. This innovative technology is a game-changer, reducing the manual effort and time required for image segmentation significantly.
AlgoSurg's platform is designed to evolve, with real-time AR support being developed to guide surgeons during operations. The system is also optimised for robotic surgery and 3D printing, further streamlining the surgical process.
One of the key advantages of AlgoSurg's solution is its end-to-end automation, from initial scan processing to the design of surgical tools. This automation allows for faster, more accurate, and consistently precise planning 2.
In the field of knee replacement surgeries, AlgoSurg's AI-driven tools have reduced planning time from hours to minutes, enhancing surgical accuracy and preparation by creating customised anatomical models for each patient 3.
In cancer surgeries, AlgoSurg's tools have enabled surgeons to design custom guides that help remove tumours more precisely while preserving healthy bone, thereby improving patient recovery 4.
AlgoSurg's algorithms are trained on a wide variety of patient scans to handle diverse body types and conditions, ensuring the system can adapt to a broad range of surgical needs. The software can connect directly to hospital planning tools or robotics platforms via APIs, ensuring data flows smoothly 5.
The platform operates as a secure, cloud-based system for seamless integration into existing hospital workflows. AlgoSurg addresses challenges in surgical planning such as delays, inefficiencies, and variability of manual processes, making it an invaluable tool in the medical field.
Moreover, AlgoSurg provides AI-assisted design capabilities for custom surgical tools, including guides and implants, tailored to each patient's unique anatomy 6.
In summary, AlgoSurg's AI-driven tools have demonstrated a significant impact in real-world knee replacement and cancer surgeries. By automatically generating precise 3D bone models and marking surgical reference points, AlgoSurg is revolutionising the field of surgical planning, leading to faster, more accurate, and consistently precise surgical planning.
