When most patients hear that Dr. Kenneth Urish wants to use a robot to replace their knee, they picture the “Terminator”, “I, Robot”, or some other dystopian operator. In reality it’s more like a precision drill, taking measurements and limiting incisions to a defined depth. “It’s more about how you’re measuring what you’re doing,” said Dr. Urish, a surgeon at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. “It is a great tool.” Since 2015, he has used a system built by the Pittsburgh branch of global medical equipment maker Smith+Nephew in hundreds of procedures. Still, as that company and others chase a future where robots assist in a much broader swath of surgeries, one unanswered question looms over the burgeoning industry: are the outcomes better? #artificialintelligence #AI #medicine #healthcare #pittsburgh

Robotics Reshaping Medicine Across Specialties Robotic systems are increasingly being adopted in healthcare to carry out various tasks that enhance patient care. Interestingly, tech can cause hesitation during treatments. My real question is why? With proper use, these devices are currently redefining statistical safety. Recently I had the privilege to witness a family member's surgery, behind the glass. Having a successful operation to address cardiac issues with the help of less invasive tech is a scientific achievement. - Enhanced Surgical Precision: The da Vinci Surgical System, developed by Intuitive Surgical, offers magnified 3D vision and precise instrument manipulation, enabling surgeons to perform complex procedures with unparalleled accuracy. - Innovative Solutions: Brands like Xenex are introducing disinfecting robots to combat healthcare-associated infections, while SAM from Savioke and Origami are redefining patient interaction in long-term care environments. #Engineering #Robotics #HealthcareInnovation #HealthcareLeadership #HealthTech #MedTech #MedicalCareers

This doctor is performing remote-control surgery over a 5G network. He is about 50 KM (30 miles) away from the operating room where robotic arms remove a liver from a laboratory animal. This mind-blowing feat is possible because of 5G's super-fast speeds. With a delay of just 100 milliseconds, the doctor can react almost instantly, making the surgery as precise as if they were right there. This eliminates the risk of mistakes caused by slow connections. This technology has the potential to revolutionize healthcare. Doctors could perform life-saving surgeries in remote areas or disaster zones where specialists are scarce. Plus, it could eliminate the need for patients to travel long distances for critical care.
