Neurosurgery
2025

Overview

Digital Fluency: Neurosurgery brings together experts from industry, academia, clinical and technical domains.  
‍
Our goal this year is to begin a conversation about aggregating data at scale in Neurosurgery.  The advancements in Ai are happening at a blistering pace and potentially will impact every domain of our specialty and define the next generation of advancements in our field.

While generalized models such as OpenAi’s GPT have transformed work in various industries, domain specific data are still lacking in neurosurgery and will hamper our progress as we look to leverage these increasingly agile generalized models.

Within research, clinical practice and in partnership with industry, there is a need to build and scale complex and complete datasets including intraoperative video.  Emerging technologies such as computer vision open new opportunities to explain the complexities of surgery.

We look to acknowledge and define the challenges of aggregating and sharing data while looking to examples in medicine and outside industries to see the potential paths forward.  Privacy, security, and a variety of legislative and legal complexities will need to be addressed to do this work at scale.

We look forward to the conversation, debate and strategy that will encompass the meeting
