At the 2025 CES (Consumer Electronics Show), NVIDIA unveiled Project DIGITS, an AI supercomputer of unprecedented proportions. This innovative technology, housed within the advanced GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip, boasts an astonishing processing capacity of up to 1 petaflop. DIGITS offers performance equivalent to millions of times the processing capacity of an average laptop, while its small size and promise of low energy consumption compared to ordinary supercomputers are noteworthy. Developed to be fully compatible with NVIDIA’s software infrastructures, Project DIGITS sets new standards in both prototyping processes and running large AI models with low latency (Nvidia, 2025). This technology has the potential to revolutionize the healthcare sector, as it does in many areas of life. Supercomputers can offer groundbreaking innovations in areas such as decision support systems, patient monitoring, and disease progression prediction (Shaheen et al. 2025). In the field of nursing, critical processes such as individualized patient management in perioperative care processes, early prediction of postoperative complications, and optimization of patient care after discharge can be performed more reliably and sustainably thanks to the superior processing power offered by this device (Jeddi et al. 2020; Zhang et al. 2025).
