Dr. James Tudor, MD, VP of AI at XCath – Interview Series

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/dr-james-tudor-md-vp-of-ai-at-xcath-interview-series/

Dr. James Tudor, MD, VP of AI at XCath – Interview Series

Dr. James Tudor, MD, spearheads the integration of AI into XCath’s robotics systems. Driven by a passion for the convergence of technology and medicine, he enthusiastically balances his roles as a practicing radiologist, Assistant Professor of Radiology at Baylor College of Medicine, and AI researcher.

Founded in 2017, XCath is a startup focused on advancements in medical robotics, nanorobotics, and materials science. The company develops next-generation endovascular robotic systems and steerable guidewires aimed at treating cerebrovascular disorders and other serious medical conditions.

Dr. Tudor, what initially sparked your interest in the intersection of AI and medicine, particularly in the field of radiology?

In 2016, as I was beginning my radiology residency, DeepMind’s AlphaGo defeated world champion Go player Lee Sedol. AlphaGo’s ability to compress and abstract the vast complexities of Go, a game with more possible board positions than atoms in the observable universe, captured my imagination. Excited about AI’s potential to transform radiology and medicine as a whole, I dove headfirst into AI. During residency, I’d spend my evenings and weekends doing AI projects.

Can you tell us more about your journey from medical school to becoming the VP of AI at XCath? What motivated you to pursue AI integration within healthcare robotics?

My career path has taken some unexpected turns. After finishing my radiology residency, I wanted to dedicate more time to AI and its commercial applications. I joined a fitness robotics startup, founded by Eduardo Fonseca, who is now XCath’s CEO.  It was a formative experience, but I never anticipated it would lead down the path of treating acute stroke with endovascular telerobots.

Around a decade ago, a revolution occurred in acute stroke care. The standard of care used to be a medication called tPA that would break up the clot. In 2015, clinical trials demonstrated the superiority of directly removing the clot from the cerebral arteries by navigating tiny guidewires and catheters within the arterial vasculature, a procedure called mechanical thrombectomy. Despite the procedure being markedly effective for large vessel strokes, less than 40% of the US population has access to it. There are a limited number of stroke centers, generally limited to urban areas, that have specialists who can perform the procedure. Globally, the statistics are even more dismal: less than 3% of the world has access.

XCath’s mission is to increase access to mechanical thrombectomy with a hub-and-spoke model, where specialists can provide expert stroke care from a distance with endovascular telerobots deployed to regions without access.

Eduardo asked me how AI could augment the safety of the telerobotic system. I was so curious I spent a few weeks deep in research, having conversations with interventionalists and learning about the telerobot. The mission and potential humanitarian impact are so compelling I had to answer that call to arms.

How did your experiences as an academic radiologist shape your approach to integrating AI in medical devices?

Teaching radiology residents has sharpened my ability to explain complex ideas clearly, which is key when bridging the gap between AI technology and its real-world use in healthcare. It also keeps me grounded in the challenges clinicians face, which helps me design AI solutions that are clinically practical and user-friendly.

As the VP of AI at XCath, what are some of the key challenges you faced while integrating AI into XCath’s robotic systems? How did you overcome them?

Integrating AI into surgical robotics presents a U-shaped challenge. The greatest difficulties lie at the beginning—acquiring and managing data—and at the end—integrating it into an embedded software package. In comparison, the actual training of the AI models is relatively straightforward.

Acquiring medical data is challenging, but fortunately, we were able to establish excellent image-sharing partnerships. Implementing the models for clinical use requires orchestrating the efforts of various teams, including AI, Quality, Software, UI/UX, and Robotic engineers, all while constantly validating with the clinical team that the solution is useful and effective. With so many moving parts, success ultimately depends on having dedicated, high-performing teams that communicate frequently and effectively.

Could you elaborate on how AI enhances the capabilities of XCath’s endovascular robotic systems? What role does AI play in improving patient outcomes?

AI algorithms can serve as a constant teacher and assistant, decreasing the cognitive load and leveling up all providers to provide world-class care. AI can provide intraoperative and postoperative feedback, accelerating the training and adoption process of endovascular robotics. We aim to make the system so effective and accessible that other intravascular specialists such as interventional body radiologists and interventional cardiologists can be trained to provide acute stroke care with the robot.

Additionally, locally embedded algorithms can provide an extra level of safety from cyber-attacks and network failures as they anticipate the expected path of a procedure and can alert and pause the procedure in the case of the unexpected.

At the end of the day, we do not want to take control from the interventionalist, but augment their abilities so that every patient can be confident they are getting world-class care.

How does XCath’s AI-driven technology address the complexities of navigating the human vasculature during endovascular procedures?

XCath’s Endovascular Robotic System represents a major advancement in precision medicine, designed to navigate intricate human vasculature with sub-millimeter accuracy. Our system is designed to minimize procedural variability and enhances control over various endovascular devices through an intuitive control console.

Additionally, XCath’s ElectroSteer Deflectable Guidewire System, the world’s first electronically-controlled steerable smart guidewire, features a steerable tip engineered to navigate complex vascular anatomies and challenging vessel angulations.

AI will further enhance navigation capabilities with locally embedded computer vision and path planning models. These models play a crucial role in reducing the cognitive load on interventionalists during procedures by assisting with real-time image analysis and enhancements and providing safeguards through parallel autonomy.

XCath recently achieved a significant milestone with the world’s first telerobotic mechanical thrombectomy demonstration. Could you share your insights on the role AI played in this groundbreaking procedure?

We used an earlier version of the robot for that groundbreaking achievement, so AI did not play a role. However, it’s an incredible milestone that lays the foundation for future integration of AI into telerobotic procedures.

In this live demonstration, Dr. Vitor Pereira performed an MT procedure from Abu Dhabi on a simulated patient in South Korea, removing a blood clot in the brain in minutes. We were thrilled by the results of the telerobotic demonstration, which found low latency and reliable connection between the robotic controller located in Abu Dhabi and the robotic device in South Korea. We project regional robotic telestroke networks, but we went to an extreme to demonstrate the capabilities of the technology.

What do you believe is the future of telerobotic surgery in the treatment of acute neurovascular conditions, and how is XCath preparing to lead in this space?

Justifying the necessity of telerobotic surgery in many medical scenarios can be challenging, especially when a surgeon is readily available or patient transfer is feasible. However, in the context of stroke treatment, where every minute counts and neurons are rapidly lost, telerobotic interventions become crucial.

XCath is uniquely positioned to pioneer telerobotic surgery, initially focusing on stroke treatment. Our approach addresses the critical need for rapid intervention in areas with limited access to specialized care. Once we’ve successfully tackled this challenge, I believe it will pave the way for telerobotic solutions in other time-sensitive medical emergencies. Also, given the extreme precision of the robotic controls, there is potential for using the robot locally to perform technically difficult surgeries, such as aneurysm repairs.

Where do you see the future of AI in healthcare heading, particularly in relation to robotic systems and minimally invasive procedures?

AI has immense potential to revolutionize healthcare. The initial wave of AI applications has primarily focused on triage and efficiency improvements. We’ve seen significant advancements in radiology, particularly in flagging urgent cases or automating acquisition of measurements. I’m also excited about automated medical record documentation. A current challenge is that doctors often spend more time documenting in front of computers than interacting with patients. I anticipate the development of systems that can document patient interactions or surgeries in real-time, freeing up valuable physician time. In the realm of robotics, AI will play a crucial role in assisting and proctoring, thereby enhancing the consistency and quality of care.

In the foreseeable future, AI is going to augment, but not replace surgeons. The implementation of parallel autonomy in robotic systems will significantly improve both the safety and efficiency of procedures.

As someone deeply involved in AI research, what advancements in AI do you think will have the most significant impact on medical device development over the next decade?

In the last few years, we’ve witnessed a wave of supervised deep learning models receiving FDA approval and are just now starting to fulfill their promise of transforming healthcare. A wave of generative AI applications will likely dominate the next few years.  Agentic AI, by comparison, is in its infancy, but holds much greater promise.  As AI is rapidly evolving, it’s very likely we will see multi-agent systems that can diagnose and treat in real time. There will be additional regulatory hurdles for these agents whose actions are both opaque and probabilistic. However, global need will drive the demand for adoption. In Rwanda, the company Zipline is using flying drones to deliver vital medical supplies within minutes around the country. Similarly, in places that lack access to medical resources, the risk/benefit equation is very different and would likely prompt them to leapfrog the developed world in the deployment of multi-agentic AI medical devices.

Thank you for the great interview, readers who wish to learn more should visit XCath.

Optimizing Company Workflows with AI Agents: Myth or Reality?

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/optimizing-company-workflows-with-ai-agents-myth-or-reality/

Optimizing Company Workflows with AI Agents: Myth or Reality?

A Problem

As more large companies invest in AI agents, viewing them as the future of operational efficiency, a growing wave of skepticism is emerging. While there’s excitement about the potential of these technologies, many organizations are finding that the reality often falls short of the hype. This disappointment can largely be attributed to two main issues: overhyped promises and the highly specific nature of business problems.

While AI can excel at certain tasks — like data analysis and process automation — many organizations encounter difficulties when trying to apply these tools to their unique workflows. Lexalytics’s article greatly highlights what happens when you integrate AI just to jump on the AI hype train. The result is often frustration and a sense that the technology is not living up to its potential.

Sources of Disappointment During AI Implementation

The sources of disappointment in AI implementation are multifaceted.

A significant problem is that many companies rush to adopt AI without a clear strategy or defined objectives. This lack of direction makes it challenging to measure the success or failure of AI initiatives. Companies may end up deploying tools that don’t align with their actual needs, leading to wasted resources and disillusionment. So what happens when you integrate AI without proper planning and preparation? Well, you get cases like McDonald’s. After three years of preparation, in the summer of 2024, in collaboration with IBM, McDonald’s rolled out their AI Agent that can take drive-through orders. A poorly designed model led to the AI not understanding the customers. One of the most notable examples was two customers in TikTok pleading with the AI to stop as it kept adding more Chicken McNuggets to their order, eventually reaching 260.

Data quality is another critical concern. AI systems are only as good as the data fed into them. If the input data is outdated, incomplete, or biased, the results will inevitably be subpar. Unfortunately, organizations sometimes overlook this fundamental aspect, expecting AI to perform miracles despite flaws in the data.

Integration challenges also pose significant obstacles. Merging AI into existing systems can be complex, often revealing technical issues and compatibility problems, particularly for businesses relying on legacy systems. Without thorough planning and resources, these integration challenges can derail AI initiatives, amplifying disappointment.

Use Cases of AI Agents in Company Workflows

Despite these hurdles, AI agents have the potential to revolutionize business operations by streamlining workflows and boosting efficiency in various areas.

One of the most compelling applications of AI lies in customer support. AI-powered chatbots can handle routine inquiries, freeing up human agents to focus on more complex issues. By automating repetitive tasks, employees can redirect their energy toward more strategic responsibilities. One of the biggest cases of integrating AI to customer support is Telstra, a telecommunications company from Australia. Telstra rolled out their own AI Agent called Ask Telstra. Here are the results the company shared: 20% less follow-up on calls, 84% of agents said it positively impacted customer interactions, 90% of agents are more effective.

In the realm of marketing automation, AI proves invaluable as well. By analyzing customer behavior and preferences, AI agents can create personalized marketing strategies that boost engagement and conversion rates. Bayer’s team used AI to predict the demand for flu medicine, and when the AI model predicted a 50% surge in flu cases, the team used it to adapt their marketing strategy. The results were amazing: 85% increase in click-through rates year over year, reduced cost per click by 33% over previous year, a 2.6x increase in website traffic over the long run.

AI can also streamline processes in human resources. According to Decision Analytics Journal, AI has a lot of benefits in the area of precision, efficiency, and flexibility. By automating the initial stages of recruitment, such as screening resumes and identifying top candidates based on specific criteria, AI saves significant time and ensures a more objective selection process.

Perhaps one of the most attractive aspects of AI is its efficiency and cost-effectiveness. In many scenarios, AI can perform tasks faster and with fewer errors than humans, making it a compelling choice for businesses eager to simplify their workflows. By automating repetitive and time-consuming tasks, organizations can significantly cut operational costs while minimizing the risk of human error. This combination of speed, accuracy, and savings allows companies to optimize their processes and allocate resources more strategically.

Advice for Integrating AI Agents

To ensure successful integration of AI agents into company workflows, businesses should adopt several key strategies.

First and foremost, it’s crucial to define clear objectives before implementation. Organizations should identify the specific challenges they want AI to address and set measurable outcomes to evaluate effectiveness. This clarity facilitates necessary adjustments throughout the process. If the AI integration is fragmented, it’s very hard to compare the cost of the integration to the productivity levels, and decide whether the integration had a positive impact on the company. Measure the amount of time spent on different tasks with and without AI, the amount of people that work on a certain task, and the quality of the work.

Another important consideration is data quality. Investing in robust data management practices is essential to ensure the information fed into AI systems is accurate, relevant, and devoid of bias. If the company is using an external solution, ensure that no sensitive and private data is being fed into the AI. AI Data Hygiene is an emerging concept unknown to many, so make sure you educate your employees about it. A great read on why you can’t share sensitive corporate data with AI models by Micropro.

As with any emerging technologies, it’s crucial to monitor AI tools as they’re being integrated. Collect feedback both from your employees who are using AI tools and customers who interact with your model in customer support services or other channels of interaction. That way, you can detect any bugs and issues in the early stages, only affecting a small number of operational processes. The company needs to foster a culture of adaptability and closely monitor their AI models, especially at the first stages of implementation.

Conclusion

Rather than viewing AI as a magic solution, businesses should see it as a powerful tool that, when used correctly, can enhance operations and drive success. The question is that AI has a knowledge base about the client and their needs, so we understand how we can save them time searching for information and offer a working tool. Today, it makes sense to deploy AI agents within specific use cases, as this approach allows for maximum value creation. This is currently a category receiving significant investment and over the next year, this will undoubtedly be a major trend and may evolve into something even more impactful in the future. When will the AI Gold Rush stop?
