Inventing the Future in Surgery: Artificial Intelligence & Robotics | Jacques Marescaux

At the Global Health & Purpose Summit, presented by FINN Partners within People and Planet United, Jacques Marescaux, Founder and President of IRCAD, outlines a disciplined pathway for augmented surgery. Begin with visibility through advanced imaging and 3D planning, strengthen dexterity with robotics, and extend cognition with AI and augmented reality. Examples include AI assisted detection of small colonic polyps, intraoperative recognition that safeguards the critical view in cholecystectomy, and flexible robotic endoscopy that restores triangulation for early gastrointestinal cancer. Teleoperation, proven since Operation Lindbergh, links experts to local teams. Smart, affordable rooms using ultrasound enable scale with governance globally.
