# Nvidia, Johnson & Johnson works to generate new AI applications for surgery

In a groundbreaking collaboration, the [tech](https://www.mindstick.com/services/technologies) giant NVIDIA and the healthcare leader Johnson & Johnson MedTech teamed up to transform the global surgery industry by adopting an [AI-integrated system](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/85141/can-artificial-intelligence-perform-surgeries-in-hospitals). Utilizing the power of AI technologies, the two companies are striving to forge the field of surgery by [improving surgical decision-making](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/333395/ai-in-heathcare-transforming-healthcare-industry), streamlining the operation, and elevating [patient care](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/114437/how-do-interdisciplinary-teams-in-healthcare-foster-collaboration-for-improved-patient-care) as the shared vision

## Fast Track AI for Minimally Invasive Surgery

Johnson & Johnson MedTech, which is present in ~80% of operating rooms worldwide, aims to use AI to advance this very clinical application. J&J MedTech and NVIDIA will be working through an MOU and they aim to speed up the [adoption of AI](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/113868/what-new-trends-are-driving-the-adoption-of-ai-in-businesses) via J&J MedTech's surgical technologies portfolio. Tim Schmid, Executive [Vice President](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/35925/this-president-was-a-congressman-senator-governor-and-vice-president-before-he-became-president) of MedTech, focused on the central place of digital systems in healthcare transformation that redefines the way the industry is regulated.

## NVIDIA's AI Platform for Top Surgery Patient Encounters

NVIDIA’s AI platforms offer advanced capabilities for developing optimized care delivery models and practices, which rely on [AI algorithms](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/334140/ai-algorithms-unveiling-the-reasons-behind-companies-secrecy)’ capabilities. Shan Jegatheeswaran, the VP and Global Head of Digital at J&J MedTech, also mentioned AI models as “[driver-assistance technology](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/299609/artificial-intelligence-in-healthcare-past-present-and-future)” for surgeons, among so many things that can potentially transform or even save lives. Through the implementation of AI features and the relief of cognitive loads, a new means of surgical practice will be created, one which would be based on a high level of efficiency and accuracy.
