Lifesaving Radio
Artificial intelligence (AI) has yet again shown its versatility as a technology being applied as a tool to greatly enhance the efficiency and capabilities of surgeons in the operating theatre. NextMed Health has been assisted by the data science from Klick Health, to successfully create the world’s first AI-based health care radio station, named “Lifesaving Radio”. Using generative AI, the station features over 30 hours of hard rock music that has been precisely curated for peak performance during surgical endeavours. The platform creates personalised playlists that improve doctors’ orchestration, timing and harmonisation. Dr. Daniel Kraft, NextMed Health’s Founder, has commented on the interdisciplinary requirements necessitated by the platform’s creation. According to numerous studies, 90% of surgeons and surgical assistants already listen to music when operating. Kraft believes AI technology can improve the relationship between music and medicine to an entirely new level. For instance, in a 2022 study published in Langenbeck’s Archives of Surgery, a group of German researchers investigated the effects of playing different types of music during laparoscopic surgery. Conducted at the University Hospital Dresden, the study found that when hard rock was played at a medium volume, the participants performed faster while still maintaining high accuracy levels. Accuracy was still maintained at an even faster rate when hard rock was played at even higher volumes. This such research was what inspired NextMed Health to build Lifesaving Radio, using the principle of “flow state”, which they attributed to the favourable results garnered in the aforementioned study, to optimise the abilities of the surgical clinicians in the process of operating. https://www.klick.com/
