COVID-19 has accelerated the implementation of digital technology and procedures in healthcare, a positive development for patients, clinicians, and health systems alike. One of many areas impacted is the surgical procedures which used to remain fragmented and where most of the innovation occurred in silos that frequently did not interact or link effectively enough with one another.
But medical treatments are now achieving health results that were previously unattainable due to the invasive nature of conventional surgery, without jeopardizing the patient’s recovery, thanks to improved, connected, more intuitive, and efficient care made possible by revolutionary digital instruments.
Digital Surgery
Robotics, virtual and augmented reality, and artificial intelligence (AI) all hold the potential of data-driven precision surgery, with the ultimate objective of enhancing patient outcomes, surgical performance, and the productivity and efficiency of surgeons and their teams.
The definition of digital surgery as the use of technology to improve preoperative planning, surgical performance, therapeutic assistance, or training in order to improve outcomes and decrease damage received unanimous approval.
Digital technology use is not restricted to the operating room; it currently plays a role in areas as diverse as preoperative planning, surgical risk prediction, and surgical performance assessment. Commercial potential and the promise of better results for surgeons and patients are driving the rapid adoption of these technologies.
Digital Surgical Platform
We offer a digital surgery platform that provides actionable insights to make surgery smarter and safer. The digital surgery platform analyses massive amounts of real-world data in and around the operating room (OR) using proprietary software and artificial intelligence (AI).
This real-world evidence may be used by the care team in real-time during surgery and viewed by others outside the operating room via the platform’s dedicated telehealth link. Following a procedure, the platform provides insights that assist surgeons in benchmarking and improving their care, hospital administrators in making better use of surgical resources, medical device companies in developing better products, and insurance companies in understanding risk and developing more tailored policies.
