The surgeons who can operate from anywhere in the world

BBC  

The surgeons who can operate from anywhere in the world The era of virtual surgery While robotic surgery has been possible for several years, the equipment has been prohibitively expensive for many parts of the world and requires specialist training to use. In response, robots have been deployed where possible, conducting specialised surgeries that allow surgeons to stay at a safe distance, and even helping with communicating to patients. In response, Hachach-Haram has created a technology that allows surgeons to virtually scrub into any operating theatre around the world, just by using a tablet or computer. In a world adjusting to the recent global pandemic, Change Agents examines innovations and technologies that could make our planet a better, healthier place to live.
