AI Seems New, but Our Hair Transplant Clinic Has Been Using It for a Long Time
You can’t go one day without hearing about the latest developments in Artificial Intelligence, or AI. There are daily news stories about the new things that AI can do now. 
People are chatting over lattes about how far they can go to get it to rewrite their essay or resume. The technology has exploded, and there’s no looking back. Our world has completely changed, and we are all figuring out how to adjust to it.
But what if we told you Artificial Intelligence isn’t new to us? In fact, AI and hair transplant surgery have been around for some time now. And the technology been around much longer than our Foster City hair restoration clinic. Consider this, the term ‘artificial intelligence’ is presumed to be established by a Dartmouth research paper in 1955. In the 1970’s, it was developed to help diagnose bacterial infections and recommend antibiotics. By the 1980s, AI was used as a diagnostic support tool, and in the 1990s, it began interpreting MRI images and CT scans.
The truth is that AI has been evolving for some time. And if you’re curious about how AI and hair transplant surgery work to create next-generation solutions for hair loss, we can tell you.
There Is No Cheating With AI and Hair Transplant Solutions
Today’s discussions usually center around the use of AI and allowing it to take over all human work. For instance, will AI-generated videos and images look so convincing you can’t tell the difference between real and fake? Or will the future of news and books be completely computer-generated? Will AI replace human intelligence at some point, providing better solutions to everything? These are great questions, but we can’t answer them. We can tell you that AI technology, combined with an expert hair transplant surgeon, has made a positive impact on many Bay Area locals.
Dr. Canales and the ARTAS surgical robot work in tandem to create the best results in hair loss solutions for men and women. And there is no ‘cheating’ involved. Dr. Canales doesn’t sit back and allow the robot to do all the thinking. His own skill and knowledge make the robot better! For example, during the Follicular Unit Extraction, or FUE, the robot may evaluate a patient’s head and then suggest the best strands to pull. Dr. Canales uses his human intelligence to review the location and how that could impact a patient in various ways.
There will be a detailed review and re-mapping by Dr. Canales until he gets the results he wants. And when he’s in surgery, Dr. Canales will be actively managing and doing the work. And he’ll use the robot to handle complicated and precise movements as needed.
Overall, the combination of AI and hair transplantation creates better outcomes because of human intelligence. If you are ready to address your hair loss and learn how robotic AI hair transplant surgery can help, contact us for a free consultation.
