In this episode of BackTable Innovation, Dr. Eric Gantwerker interviews Dr. Chris Kaufmann and Dr. Marlan Hansen from the University of Iowa about their startup company, iotaMotion, which has developed the first FDA-approved robotic cochlear implant insertion system. The founders discuss the development path of their product, the process of hiring and fundraising, and challenges they had to overcome, such as the FDA approval process and COVID-19 setbacks. Overall, they emphasize that this is a tool to assist surgeons. iotaSOFT has received support from many surgeons once they understood that the robotic system could assist their surgeries without taking any control away from them.

Just came across this article on the extended collaboration between ZimVie and Brainlab! They're doubling down on integrating spinal surgery systems, with a focus on using Brainlab's innovative tools like #AI, mixed reality, and more. The aim? Guide surgeons with patient-specific digital models, robotic assistants, and state-of-the-art imaging machines. 🦾🔍 With the expansion, I predict a surge in job openings as they drive this transformative tech forward. Opportunities for professionals in the life sciences and data domain could be on the rise! For those in the space, it's an exciting era of growth and innovation. What are your thoughts on these advancements? #DataScience #Innovation

Innovation further enabled by digital transformation continues to accelerate across many industries. See this example. #innovation #innovationmanagement #leadership #strategyexecution #strategy #digitaltransformation

I love learning about literally ANY surgical robot on the market! Thanks to Lucien Blondel for putting this together because there are many on the list I've never even heard of before -- probably because I spend most of my time researching #laparoscopic, #orthopedic, and #neurosurgery robots! #surgicalrobotics #roboticsurgery #interventionalradiology #medtech #healthtech #healthcareinnovation

Wireless communication is crucial for our connected world, and researchers are already exploring the potential for 6G networks to power futuristic applications such as virtual reality and remote surgery. A recent study published in IEICE Electronics Express shows a promising breakthrough in using lasers to achieve ultra-high data speeds for wireless channels.

A smart robotic thread has been developed by MIT engineers to treat brain obstructions such as strokes and aneurysms. This fine thread threads exactly across brain blood arteries. The robotic thread, which is driven by magnets, might help medical professionals treat obstructions during the critical first ninety minutes to avoid long-term harm. Remarkably, it may lessen the need for surgery and radiation exposure, increasing patient and physician accessibility to brain operations. The robotic thread moves smoothly and shields the blood vessel lining by using hydrogels and magnets. In the future, even less invasive surgeries could be performed by surgeons using magnetic fields to guide it remotely! #surgery #surgeryinstrument #brain #mentalhealth #brainoperations #robotics #robotictechnology #patientcare #physician #surgeons #bloodvessel #tech #innovation #MIT #medical #engineers #engineeringexcellence #threads #magnetic #hydrogels #magnet
