A surgeon in London performing a remote operation on a banana in California using 5G—this is bananas! With the rapid advancement of 5G technology and the impending arrival of 6G, the future of remote surgery is exciting. This innovation holds the promise of widespread adoption, enabling access to remote and underserved areas. The robotic surgeries on fruits and vegetables don't seem to end. What groundbreaking applications do you think this technology will bring next? And do you believe this will become a viable solution for real-world medical challenges? #5GRevolution #6GInnovation #RemoteSurgery #HealthcareTechnology #Telemedicine #OrthopedicSurgery #MedicalAdvancements #FutureOfMedicine #BananasInnovation #GlobalHealthcare #ConnectedCare #TechInHealthcare #SurgicalTech #AccessToCare #MedicalBreakthroughs #DigitalHealth #SmartHealthcare #NextGenTech #HealthTech #SurgeonInnovation
I bet the banana has better health insurance coverage than me
Technological improvements in every field except healthcare has lowered costs of the products. , be it automobiles, computers, household electronic appliances etc. Except in healthcare, with rare exceptions.
Dr. Khalpey- I am positive you are aware as I am that if I required a Mitral valve repair…I do my due diligence find out who the “Hot Shot” Mitral repair person is and travel to them. Then, again as you are aware, we now have large “Medical Center Brands” placing their stellar brands in geographical locations of interest. Mayo Clinic in Phoenix Arizona comes to mind. So, the day will arrive where Dr Favaloro (God Rest his beautiful Soul) schedules from his Suite in Tahiti to perform my surgery in Los Angeles. No shaking, absolute precision with every stitch placement and he inserts my new valve through the anticubital in my forearm. And I go home the next day, instead of the exorbitantly expensive ICU.
Very cool Zain….but reaching “remote and underserved areas” is frankly, nonsensical. Those “remote and underserved” areas cannot afford basic care, nevermind an Intuitive +$1M robot to allow the remote surgeon to operate - or the high-fidelity connecticity required . 🤷🏽♂️
Great achievement! It Is milestones like these that allow for advancement in technique, reach, and outcomes. Imagine a physician specializing in a specific technique participating in a surgery all the way across the world. Allows for that patient to have access to a level of care which he would otherwise not have had and a collaboration that could help so many more. Sharing knowledge, collaboration, and laying a foundation for an even more advanced future for mankind!
As someone who's spent years developing IP for robotic surgery systems, I can assure you this isn't 5G remote surgery - it's a local skills practice session with a Da Vinci Xi. The future of robotic surgery is bright, and remote surgery may indeed become a reality in the near future, whether through 5G, 6G, or another breakthrough tech. The actual innovations happening in the field are just as exciting as any banana surgery - raisin-filled or not. Speaking of which, is this some kind of GMO super-fruit we should know about? 😂
Absolutely It will change the surgical practice dramatically, just think about the availability of high profile surgeons to serve remote poor areas ...This will be amazing 🤩 Think about the ROI of using this tec in the private practice sector , it will be beyond high ... Me ,myself would be super excited to to be among 1st generation surgeons to try this ....
Zain seems like an amazing option to help relieve the strain on supply and demand in the medical profession.
I (love to) solve problems
4moAs a human I am fascinated. As a technical person specialized in IT risk and networking ++ I am horrified, if that would be an open heart surgery on me. The "5g"is the least part of the problems that can arise. The biggest problem is systemic. It is the chain of multiple amounts of networks (that chain is called - Internet) between the doctor and the patient. Each network is a company with a risk profile regarding QOS (quality of service) of their network... If just one part of the chain goes into "slow motion" ...the patient might bleed out....
