Technology Trends With the large number of domestic and foreign companies in recent years laying out wearable products one after another, the industry is booming. However, its huge market potential has not yet been released. No wise company will give up its wearable business. On the contrary, increasing R&D investment and cross-industry technology integration have brought many bright spots to the application of wearable devices in sports electronics and medical health.
British University of Bristol announced on the 14th that a joint research team including researchers from the university will develop wearable robotic devices for minimally invasive surgery to help doctors perform surgery more efficiently.
The project is funded by the EU Horizon 2020 research program and will be led by Professor Sania Dogradaji of the Bristol Robotics Laboratory. The Bristol Robotics Laboratory was established by the University of Bristol and the University of the West of England.
According to reports, in this wearable robotic device, the wearable exoskeleton device can be worn on the surgeon's hand like a glove and remotely controls a surgical robot tool with "tactile ability." During surgery, the doctor only needs to open a tiny wound, put the tool into the patient, and then use the wearable exoskeleton device on the hand to remotely control the tool to perform surgery on the affected part of the patient. In combination with these devices, doctors can "touch" tissues and organs inside the patient like traditional surgeries.
In addition, the researchers will also develop smart glasses that can present images of the patient's body in real time, and help doctors to observe the condition of the patient at any time during the operation using the above-mentioned equipment to ensure the accuracy of the operation.
Dogramaji said that he hopes that these wearable devices can expand the use of robotic assisted systems in surgery and help hospitals better perform this type of surgery.
