What Does the Future Hold for Surgical Robotics? Insights from an Industry Expert

Jun 24, 2024

Imagine a world with consistently precise surgical outcomes. We see firsthand how combining tech and human skills can enhance processes and improve outcomes. So why wouldn’t we bring these capabilities to medical practices?

In this week’s episode, sponsored by Alpha Sophia, CTO and Co-Founder of Galen Robotics, Dave Saunders, pulls back the curtain on the cutting-edge world of surgical robotics. He passionately articulates how modern surgical robots are not just about the hardware but are increasingly defined by the software and algorithms that drive them, creating opportunities for more precise and safer surgeries.

What we discuss in the episode:

• The exciting potential of cooperatively controlled robots
• How robots working in tandem with surgeons can optimize surgical processes and ensure minimal invasiveness
• How the blend of human expertise and robotic precision promises significant advancements that could make complex surgeries more accessible and efficient
• Regulatory challenges and the future trajectory of robotics in medicine
