At DeviceTalks West this week, we’ll explore the design, economics and broader opportunities for surgical robotics.
Companies large and small have sought to take on Intuitive in soft-tissue surgical robotics, but it has maintained its dominance. During its second-quarter earnings call in July, Johnson & Johnson reported progress with its Ottava next-gen robotic surgery system, saying there would be an update for investors before the end of the year.
Keynote interview guests at DeviceTalks West include Hani Abouhalka, company group chair of robotics and digital surgery at Johnson & Johnson MedTech, and Intuitive President Dave Rosa.
Kathryn Rieger, senior director of human factors and user research at Intuitive, will also explore the company’s approach to human-centered design.
In multiple discussions, attendees will hear from Moon Surgical, Avail Medsystems and other leaders in the surgery and surgical robotics space.
People and process matter too, so we included discussions around building better product management systems, human-centered design, scaling up manufacturing lines, licensing out university technologies and building stronger startups.
