University of Manitoba to test ORION, an AI system that predicts surgical demand and schedules operating rooms

Orthopedic surgeon Jay Toor told CTV the system will first be checked against 10 years of Health Sciences Centre data and that he believes it could add 5 to 8% orthopedic capacity and cut waits by up to 15%; he said a preliminary version raised efficiency up to 30% at Sunnybrook. No Manitoba results yet.
