Medicine and AI advance together to save more lives

Scientific Conference Ciudad Sanitaria/ Arlenis

Santo Domingo.- In a firm commitment to providing top-level healthcare and putting technology at the service of the most vulnerable, the “Ciudad Sanitaria Dr. Luis E. Aybar” held its third Scientific Conference yesterday, focusing on the advances and challenges of modern medicine that remain to be overcome in the country.

During the event, specialists agreed that medicine is undergoing a period of transformation thanks to technological advances that have contributed significantly to providing more accurate diagnoses, less invasive surgeries, and faster recoveries for patients.

The event featured the presentation of the innovative Brain Suite system. This tool combines neurosurgery with artificial intelligence to offer more accurate diagnoses and greater precision when treating delicate areas such as the brain and spine.

According to Dr. Federico Álvarez, this advanced technology combines magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography with augmented reality glasses and a robotic arm, allowing precise surgical navigation.

“The idea is that if you have a patient in the operating room, you can see the inside of the area you’re going to treat and identify tumors, blood vessels, and safe surgical paths,” he explained.

According to Álvarez, who is also the representative of the Brainlab brand in the country, this new and innovative technology, which promises to save thousands of lives and time, will be available in the coming months at the Cardio-Neuro-Ophthalmology and Transplant Center (Cecanot), which will become the first hospital in the world to have this technology.
