Surgeons can now track spinal movement in real time during surgery thanks to a newly cleared robotic system that combines planning, navigation, and execution in one platform. The technology aims to make complex spine procedures more precise and predictable for millions of patients.
After two million robotic procedures worldwide, medical device giant Stryker just launched a handheld robotic system that makes knee replacement surgery easier for doctors and safer for patients. The breakthrough tool guides surgeons with precision without requiring the complex setup of traditional surgical robots.
A smart medical cart now talks and lights up to guide doctors to critical supplies during emergencies, cutting stress and saving precious seconds. Cornell researchers found healthcare teams prefer the robotic assistant over standard carts.
Scientists built the world's smallest programmable swimming robots, each tinier than a grain of salt, that could one day navigate the human body to fight disease. The breakthrough turns 50 years of science fiction into reality.
A new AI-powered robotic catheter is catching lung cancers as small as 6mm hidden deep in the lungs, replacing weeks of invasive testing with a single procedure. The NHS pilot has already diagnosed 215 lung cancer cases in 300 patients, detecting tumors that would have been previously impossible to reach.
A South Korean medical robotics company just raised $94 million and became a billion-dollar "unicorn" with a mission to make advanced surgery accessible worldwide. LivsMed's robotic systems are already performing procedures across continents.
Johns Hopkins researchers built an AI-powered robot that can thread needles thinner than human hair into retinal veins, succeeding 90% of the time in lab tests. The breakthrough could help save vision for thousands who suffer from blocked veins in their eyes.
