DOCSF 2024: Agents and Copilots in MSK care (Fabrizio Billi)

This Digital Orthopedics Conference session introduces the emerging field of AI agents and their potential applications in orthopedics, focusing on reactive and adaptable agents. Reactive agents operate on simple, rule-based systems suited for structured environments, while adaptable agents use memory and learning for dynamic tasks like virtual assistants. Multi-agent systems (MAS) involve groups of agents collaborating on shared goals, such as surgical support and post-operative care.

Key challenges include data privacy, system integration, network demands, and regulatory hurdles. The session also explores 'copilots'—generative tools that provide real-time diagnostic and therapeutic support. Together, MAS and copilots aim to improve efficiency, real-time support, and patient care, despite challenges like privacy and interoperability.
