The future of healthcare is shifting towards software-defined and AI-enabled medical devices. There are now around 700 FDA-cleared, AI-enabled devices on the market, more than 10 times the number available in 2020. Innovations in this field were highlighted at NVIDIA GTC, with solutions like foundation models for ultrasound analysis and generative AI for surgeons.

Medical devices are moving from hardware-centric to software-defined, allowing for enhancements through software updates like smartphones. NVIDIA’s platforms are driving this shift by improving patient care, increasing efficiencies, and enhancing clinician experiences. Leading companies like GE Healthcare are using NVIDIA tools to develop AI-powered medical imaging applications.

NVIDIA platforms are powering the next generation of digital surgery. Companies like Johnson & Johnson MedTech and Moon Surgical are utilizing NVIDIA technologies like Holoscan and IGX to develop innovative solutions for the operating room. Moon Surgical’s Maestro System, powered by Holoscan and IGX, has successfully treated over 200 patients with laparoscopy.

NVIDIA is fueling a thriving medtech ecosystem, with Arrow Electronics offering IGX as a subscription service for industrial and medical customers. Companies like Kaliber AI and Barco are leveraging NVIDIA technologies like Holoscan and IGX to deliver AI-driven insights and data analytics to the healthcare industry. Magic Leap has integrated Holoscan into its extended reality software stack for enhanced customer capabilities.
