8. The Da Vinci Surgical System

9. • The use of a robotic assistant called the Da
Vinci Surgical System has increased in the last
four years, and the machine now helps with
operations in 2,000 hospitals around the world.

10. • Da Vinci is a multi-
purpose robot — the
only one of its kind —
that can perform the
most complicated heart,
lung, prostate surgeries
and other procedures.

11. • The Da Vinci robot is not actually performing
operations; it only mirrors the movements of
the surgeon's hands on two joystick-like
controllers.

12. • Hospitals with the robot proudly proclaim its
modern capabilities. Some patients insist on
being treated by the mechanical surgeon.

13. • Dr. Hyung Kim, a urologist who uses a Da
Vinci system believes that the robot makes no
difference for patients.
• Kim says he would never go back to
performing some surgeries by hand.
• Sitting comfortably at the ergonomic Da Vinci
console, he can see the operating field better
via a 3-D camera on one of the robot's arms
and maneuver his tools, held by other arms.

14. Components of the Da Vinci
Surgical System:

15. Surgeon Console
• Using the da
Vinci Surgical System,
the surgeon operates
seated comfortably at a
console while viewing a
high definition, 3D
image inside the
patient’s body.

16. Patient – side cart
• The patient-side cart
is where the patient is
positioned during
surgery. It includes
either three or four
robotic arms that
carry out the
surgeon's commands.

17. EndoWrist instruments
• A full range of EndoWrist
instruments is available
to the surgeon while
operating.
• The instruments are
designed with seven
degrees of motion - a
range of motion even
greater than the human
wrist.

18. Vision System
• The vision system is
equipped with a
high-definition, 3D
endoscope and
image processing
equipment that
provides true-to-life
images of the
patient’s anatomy.

20. Chemical gas
detecting

21. • Detecting chemical weapon type agents
nowadays is very expensive and complicated.
However, an equipment-free, motion-free,
highly sensitive technology would greatly
improve current situation.

22. Doctoral student Sungbaek Seo holds two paper litmus tests in a lab at the University of Michigan
The paper strips with a special litmus-like paper based sensors

23. How does it work?
• The paper-based sensors of the paper strips are
designed to change from blue to pink in less
than 30 seconds of exposure to even trace of
toxic gas.

24. • Researchers now are pursuing patent
protection for the sensor and seeking partners
to help bring it to market.

25. Flu diagnosing

26. • There’s no denying that flu diagnosis often takes too
long and results in frequent false negatives.
• Therefore, researchers set a
goal to create a more affordable
test that would be accurate,
cheaper, faster and disposable
and this way ultimately save
lives.

27. • During a four-year study, which involved 146 patients
with flu-like symptoms researchers essentially
miniaturized a special biochemical technology into a
chip the size of a standard microscope slide and
analyzed two types of nasal specimens in order to
show that the technique was feasible on real-world
samples.

28. Roughly the size of a
standard microscope
slide
The chip currently costs $10
Results are produced in
a few hours

29. • The team found out that their chip
outperformed other common flu diagnostic
tests and are currently working to further
improve the chip so that it would cost just $5
and produce results in an hour.

30. iOS Medical Devices
of the Future

31. Disease Risk Calculator
could help him visualize
progress and compare
himself to his peers.
A user interface, or UI,
that indicated to a patient
how his score on specific
biomarkers such as
proteins had changed over
time

32. Spirometer
Spirometers in patient hands today are cheap,
simple devices.
Therefore a spirometer attached to a
sophisticated app that could record breathing
performance over time would be extremely
useful for both patients and doctors.

33. Electrocardiogram
If used by caregivers this device can help
automate recognition of possible problems,
rather than relying solely on the human eye to
detect potential irregularities.
In addition, doctors could take this device to
the field.

34. Modular Prosthetic Limb
• The technology will
allow amputees elbow,
wrist, and finger
movements. Beyond
that, it will also give
users the ability to sense
touch, temperature,
pressure and vibration.

35. • The technology requires tiny chips to be
implanted in the brain so that users can
effectively integrate the limb with the mind
using only a thought.

36. Nanobots-The Next Cure for
Cancer
• The concept behind the whole nanorobotics is
folding of DNA chains to form a barrel-
shaped container (known as origami) that
works as a carrier of cancer antibiotics.

37. How Nanobot works?
• Nanobot is injected into your blood stream.
• It will float through your circulatory system
into your whole body.

38. • In order to communicate
with a cell, they mimic the
cell’s receptor system. The
previously formed
molecular strand by pairing
scaffold and stapes are
engineered to recognize
cancer cells.

help or receptors

39. • When a cancer cell is encountered, the nanobot is
unlocked and the payload is released.
• The payload fights with the cancer cells to naturally
kill the cell.

40. Why nanobot?
1. Extremely small.
2. Not only eliminates every single molecules of
cancer cells but they also do it without the
need of any big invasive surgery.
3. Doctors can easily diagnose the best possible
treatment for the patient.

41. Chromallocytes
• Nano-expert Robert Freitas mentions a
procedure where cell-repair nanobots called
"chromallocytes" would seek out damaged and
aging cells and immediately make repairs,
creating a new younger cell.

42. • Chromallocytes would also replace inherited
genes that cause dangerous genetic diseases.
• They would erase the damage and mutations
that lead to human aging, keeping our bodies
forever young and healthy.
