150 [AI Innovation in Surgery – J&J Medtech Global Challenge]

Artificial Intelligence is transforming the future of surgical care—and Johnson & Johnson MedTech is leading the charge.
The company has launched the Polyphonic™ AI Fund for Surgery QuickFire Challenge, a global call to action for innovators in Surgical Data Science. This initiative invites researchers, entrepreneurs, and technology developers worldwide to submit AI-driven solutions that can:
– Enhance surgical decision-making
– Improve data governance
– Drive efficiency in the connected operating room
Why This Matters Now
Every year, more than 330 million surgeries take place around the world. In the U.S., over 90% of hospitals and healthcare systems now have an AI or automation strategy—up from just 53% in 2019.
AI’s role in surgical environments is expanding rapidly—from real-time data analysis to workflow optimization—making it a critical driver for better patient outcomes and operational efficiency.
The Power of Real-Time Surgical Intelligence
By integrating connected systems with AI-powered analytics, surgical teams can:
– Access immediate, actionable insights
– Enhance training for surgeons and support staff
– Improve safety and reduce error rates
– Create measurable gains across the continuum of care
The QuickFire Challenge aims to accelerate the path from concept to clinical impact—turning visionary ideas into deployable solutions.
