2022: Device Announcement
On July 11, 2022, Smith + Nephew introduced smart glasses for surgeons. The manufacturer also announced cooperation with Rods & Cones in order to further develop digital remote assistance.
The device from Smith + Nephew for minimally invasive surgery, according to the developers, easily connects to the secure interface of remote expert Rods & Cones, allowing the user to monitor and attend the operation as if he were in the operating room, with an accurate review by a surgeon or other medical professional.
This solution has already begun to be used by the UK National Health Service (NHS) and a number of other customers. Smith + Nephew plans to expand its ability to provide technical support for the safe and efficient use of its products at the right time from anywhere in the world. The company said that increasing the complexity of surgical operations, the development of technologies and the need to improve productivity and efficiency allow for the remote availability of a specialist to provide the best knowledge exactly when necessary, but with the least interference.
