The Peggy Smedley Show

The scale of the U.S. grid is approximately 200 million distribution poles. When you have a natural event that takes out 10 of thousands, you say, “Let’s make it more resilient,” but the scale requires thinking about fundamentals. Dominique Meyer, PhD, Looq AI, and Kenneth Sharpless, P.E., F.SEI, F.ASCE, Exo, talk on The Peggy Smedley Show about how technology can help address the scale of the problem. https://lnkd.in/e48h9gUX #IoT #utilities #infrastructure

When will #AI be better than doctors? Dr. David L., Northwestern Medicine, talks on The Peggy Smedley Show about the realities of AI in #clinicalinformatics, identifying challenges in #healthcare and how AI can help address those challenges. https://lnkd.in/eTwEb4Fp #IoT #medical #healthcare

$10 billion That is the amount the global market for robotic surgical systems and their accessories will reach this year. The number is set to grow to $15.8 billion by 2030. Why? I explain on The Peggy Smedley Show, pointing to specific case studies, but here are a few highlights. Robots can: ·???????Do more with less ·???????Increase efficiency ·???????Heighten accuracy ·???????Optimize processes ·???????Increase precision ·???????Focus on value-based healthcare ·???????Enhance surgical outcomes BUT! There are big risks too. ·???????Steep upfront costs ·???????Time and expense to train staff ·???????Cybersecurity concerns What would you add? What would you say is the biggest benefit? What would you say is the biggest risk? Cybersecurity is becoming a huge concern, and I address how to create a plan on the show. But what would you say is the biggest risk of robotics in any business today? https://lnkd.in/gTbiHWAv Satpinder Sidhu Ken Creasy Wayne Poll, M.D. Tom McGuinness Cody Bowman

$15 billion a year is wasted reentering data, just in construction in the United States—and if you update the number to today, it is $22 billion a year. Research shows workers could save an estimated 12 hours a week by improving cross-functional collaboration and alignment. Peter Lasensky, Command Post, explains how to do this.

8 to 15. Memorial Healthcare System has nearly doubled the number of surgical systems in its robotic surgery program and has acquired training consoles to allow surgeons and residents to hone their skills in a simulation setting. Why? It will be able to increase access to minimally invasive surgical procedures for patients, and benefits include, but are not limited to: ·???????Shorter hospital stays ·???????Reduced pain and discomfort ·???????Smaller incisions ·???????Less scarring ·???????Faster recovery times Of course, there are benefits for the healthcare professionals too. The bottomline is this market is growing. Something to the tune of 16.1% from 2024 to 2029, and we must prepare our people for the rise of medical robots. I share some ideas on the Peggy Smedley Show. What would you add? How can we prepare workers in healthcare and other industries for the rise of robots? https://lnkd.in/evEeiBpE Ateev Mehrotra Thomas Fuchs Rohit Malpani Erik Nieves Charles Riggle Chad Sweet

75% That is the percentage of autonomous cars anticipated to be on the roads by 2040. Candidly, there is still a lot of work to be done. But let’s back up. A little history lesson first from NTSHA. Consider the five different eras of autonomous vehicles. 1950s – 2000: The rise of safety and convenience, like cruise control, seat belts, and antilock brakes. 2000-2010: The rise of more advanced safety features like electronic stability control, blind spot detection, forward collision warning, and lane departure warning. 2010-2016: More advanced drivers’ assistance like rearview video systems, automatic emergency braking, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, rear automatic emergency braking, rear cross traffic alert, and lane centering assist. 2016-today: Partially automated safety features such as lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, and traffic jam assist. Future: Fully automated safety features. What comes next? What do you predict? How and when will we reach Level 5? What needs to happen in order to get there? https://lnkd.in/evkBqKpM Jay Wilhelm Corey Clothier Vijitha Chekuri Tim Woods Mike Tinskey Richard Mudge Dean Phillips Patti Robb
