What was said

""It can actually point to something where you want to put your stitch, right? And it can count the stitches as you're placing them and tell you if they're close enough together.""

Dr Chris Thompson says emerging AI systems can provide real-time, heads-up guidance during endoscopic procedures, including highlighting structures and suggesting stitch placement and spacing. He says these tools are not yet widely available and are mainly seen in research settings, but he expects wider impact alongside robotics.
