Where AI can do more

Routine, digitized, and highly repeatable tasks face the greatest pressure.

  1. Assist physicians or registered nurses in the conduct of endoscopic procedures.69
  2. Prepare suites or rooms according to endoscopic procedure requirements.69
  3. Attend in-service training to validate or refresh basic professional skills.69

Hardest to automate

Where people still matter

These tasks score lowest on automation feasibility—physical presence, judgement, accountability and real-world variability all resist end-to-end automation.
