Future Platforms of Robotic Surgery.

The Urologic clinics of North America
Among the various robotic devices that exist for urologic surgery, the most common are synergistic telemanipulator systems. Several have achieved clinical feasibility and have been licensed for use in humans: the standard da Vinci, Avatera, Hinotori,...

Artificial Intelligence inspired methods for the allocation of common goods and services.

PloS one
The debate over the optimal way of allocating societal surplus (i.e. products and services) has been raging, in one form or another, practically forever; following the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the market has taken the lead vs the public ...

The path to precision medicine for MS, from AI to patient recruitment: an interview with Mauricio Farez and Helen Onuorah.

Communications biology
This year’s World Brain Day is focused on stopping Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Although amazing progress has resulted in the development of relatively successful MS therapies, access to such therapies is a major problem for most of the world. In additio...

The term "robot" was concepted in the beginning of last century, coming originally from the Czech word "robota", meaning "labor". More recently, computer assistance and robotics based in the telepresence and virtual reality concept have been applied ...

Laparoscopy & robotics: a historical parallel.

Revista do Colegio Brasileiro de Cirurgioes
The evolution of robotic platforms has brought up ethical, economic, educational, and clinical applicability issues that refer to the early 1990s, when laparoscopy began its dissemination as a technology that would revolutionize surgery. Introduced i...

Current Trends in Artificial Intelligence Application for Endourology and Robotic Surgery.

The Urologic clinics of North America
With the advent of electronic medical records and digitalization of health care over the past 2 decades, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as an enabling tool to manage complex datasets and deliver streamlined data-driven patient care. AI algo...

[A brief history of artificial intelligence].

Medecine sciences : M/S
For more than a decade, we have witnessed an acceleration in the development and the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. In medicine, it impacts clinical and fundamental research, hospital practices, medical examinations, hospital ...

Five thousand years of minimal access surgery: 3000BC to 1850: early instruments for viewing body cavities.

Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine
Surgeons and their patients recognise that one of the major advances in surgical technique over the last 20 years has been the growth of minimal access surgery by means of laparoscopic and robotic approaches. Partnerships with industry have facilitat...
