Dr. Joseph Schwab, director of the Cedars-Sinai Center for Surgical Innovation and Engineering, discusses groundbreaking research in wearable healthcare technology and its integration with artificial intelligence (AI). His lab, unique for its engineering focus, develops wearable devices that utilize light, electrical energy, and sound to gather tissue data for improved diagnostics. AI aids in interpreting complex data, enabling personalized medicine and precise risk predictions. These technologies promise benefits for patients, healthcare providers, and payers, enhancing diagnostics, treatments, and cost-efficiency. Dr. Schwab envisions AI seamlessly integrated into healthcare processes within the next decade, with wearable devices becoming standard for medical assessments. As the field evolves, reliance on these technologies is expected to grow, improving healthcare outcomes and efficiency.
