HealthBeats Abu Dhabi Global Healthcare Week

The operating room sits at the critical intersection
of patient care and hospital economics. Yet these vital spaces face stubborn inefficiencies, data losses, and quality gaps as surgical teams juggle patient needs, cross-team coordination, documentation demands, and ongoing training.

As voice technologies like natural language AI upend
primary care delivery models, the OR represents an immense opportunity for disruption. Voice interfaces purpose-built for the unique operating theater environment could streamline team communication, automate data capture, enhance workflow, and heighten the focus on patient safety and experience.

We sit down with Mr. Abbes Seqquet, President of RAIN Technology Inc to explore the frontier of voice-enabling surgery and how voice AI could transform OR performance. From communication bottlenecks to documentation burdens, we examine the key pain points surgeons and staff face daily and how voice solutions could revolutionise these spaces. We also look at the technical and human factor challenges in developing reliable voice systems for the OR environment.
