Futurist Fixes 1. Telemedicine and Robotic Surgery. As originally covered in the FUTURIST: Allison Okamura of the Johns hopkins university Department of Mechanical engineering says the real potential of robotic surgery
or rather computer-enhanced surgery is to reduce the impact of surgeries (make them less invasive,
less costly) and improve patients health. Haptic systems are a particularly promising area of research in the field of robotics.
This sort of research will enable surgeons to better perform minimally invasive surgeries. Surgical robots can also photograph,
survey and collect data in ways that humans cannot and give surgeons a better sense of how the operation went,
after the fact. oewhen you do assisted robot surgery, you re already tracking the tools that are inside the patient,
A Hawaiian heart doctor named Benjamin Berg dictated a complicated surgery over an Internet feed for a Guam man located 3, 500 miles away.
