Abstract

Artificial intelligence and digital technologies are at the forefront of a future patient-centered and precision-based digital bariatric surgery practice. Technology has the potential to enhance every aspect of a modern-day practice to become smarter, safer, and more efficient. This chapter discusses the exciting vision of the future intelligent operating room and implications for continued quality training and mentorship for healthcare professionals. Furthermore, the current and future impact of digital technologies that assist in breaking down traditional patient-clinician barriers while encouraging and empowering patients are also examined.
