Your next surgery could be done from 1000s of miles away

If you or a loved one have ever needed surgery, then you know how hard it can be to find a qualified expert in the field who can conduct the procedure in your area. Perhaps you track down the perfect doctor, only to realize their practice is located in another state. This inaccessibility may lead you to settle for the best surgeon you can find nearby, and you might find yourself sacrificing quality for convenience.

You shouldn’t have to travel 100s or even 1000s of miles away to find the right doctor if you need surgery. Not only might this be logistically difficult and unfeasible, but trying to make a trip while you’re recovering from surgery could be perilous. Instead, we want to help bring the perfect doctor to your location. Introducing remote surgery: the innovative new way to get the best care in the nation inside your local facility. 

Remote surgery

When we think of advancements in technology, it’s easy to visualize VR gaming headsets and shiny new cell phones. However, the medical field has been advancing just as rapidly. Virtual and augmented reality devices aren’t just for video games anymore; now, they can help surgeons provide life saving treatment to a wider demographic.

Remote surgery overcomes many of the logistical and geographical limitations of traditional healthcare, allowing practitioners to provide high quality surgical treatment to underserved communities, eliminate the risk of traveling for surgery, and collaborate with colleagues across the world. Furthermore, digital technology can improve accuracy and visibility during surgery. In short, remote surgery benefits both the patient and the practitioner by bringing advanced medical tools to the people and places that need them most. 

The future of telesurgery

It’s difficult to predict what the future of telesurgery will be. After all, even five years ago we couldn’t have predicted that doctors would be conducting procedures on patients located 1000s of miles away. Yet here we are, using advanced robotics and digital interfaces to perform complex procedures. And as our technology continues to develop, so will the feats of medicine we are able to accomplish. Whatever the future of healthcare, Digidome™ plans to continue serving the medical community with our augmented reality systems.
