Single-institution Cost Comparison: Single-port Versus Multiport Robotic Prostatectomy.

European urology focus
BACKGROUND: In the era of efficient value-based health care, each surgical innovation should be proven to be cost-effective for the patient and the hospital administration.

Combined robotic approach and enhanced recovery after surgery pathway for optimization of costs in patients undergoing proctectomy.

BJS open
BACKGROUND: Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathways are beneficial in proctocolectomy, but their impact on robotic low rectal proctectomy is not fully investigated. This study assessed the impact of an ERAS pathway on the outcomes and cost of...

IoT Based Predictive Maintenance Management of Medical Equipment.

Journal of medical systems
Technological advancements are the main drivers of the healthcare industry as it has a high impact on delivering the best patient care. Recent years witnessed unprecedented growth in the number of medical equipment manufactured to aid high-quality pa...

A Framework for Predicting Impactability of Digital Care Management Using Machine Learning Methods.

Population health management
Digital care management programs can reduce health care costs and improve quality of care. However, it is unclear how to target patients who are most likely to benefit from these programs ex ante, a shortcoming of current "risk score"-based approache...

Inexpensive robotic system for standard and fluorescent imaging of protein crystals.

Acta crystallographica. Section F, Structural biology communications
Protein-crystallization imaging and classification is a labor-intensive process typically performed either by humans or by instruments that currently cost well over $100 000. This cost puts the use of crystallization-trial imaging outside the reach o...

Proof of Concept of an Assistive Robotic Arm Control Using Artificial Stereovision and Eye-Tracking.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Assistive robotic arms have become popular to help users with upper limb disabilities achieve autonomy in their daily tasks, such as drinking and grasping objects in general. Usually, these robotic arms are controlled with an adapted joystick. Joysti...

Development of interval-valued fuzzy GRA with SERVPERF based on subjective and objective weights for evaluation of airline service quality: A case study of Korea low-cost carriers.

PloS one
As the airline industry has become ever-more competitive and profitability more tenuous, airline service quality management has grown more important to airlines. Although many studies have focused on the evaluation of airline service quality, some co...

Cost of ownership assessment for a da Vinci robot based on US real-world data.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Despite growth of robotic surgery, published literature lacks assessment of the cost of ownership (CoO) of a da Vinci robot by surgical service line and the associated benefit such data provides.
