Incredible surgeon sounds ambitious robotic precision could revolutionize microsurgery, but how will Tesla address the huge variability in patient anatomy? Real-time adaptive AI will be the game-changer, not just steady hands. #Robotics #AIHealthTechIncredible claim surgery demands finesse beyond raw power. Has Tesla shared how Optimus will handle delicate tasks like microsuturing or responding to unexpected complications? Precision robotics in healthcare could redefine the field if they nail this. #Robotics #AIhealthcare

(New <a href="/CompoundVC" title="Compound">@CompoundVC</a> thesis) Autonomous Surgeries Autonomous science is an inevitability and so is autonomy in other settings like surgery. Tracking of general robotics progress shows a breakneck pace with RT-2 vision-language-action, Octo which performs similarly to RT-2, pi-0 trained on the largest robot interaction dataset, GeRM which mixture of experts and off-line reinforcement learning, and even diffusion models for bimanual manipulation of robots. We’ve tracked companies like Matic which bring intelligence to vacuums (and consumers). While things such as the Da Vinci Robot have been in hospitals for years, the number of new entrants is relatively low. In some ways, this makes sense because hospitals are hard to sell to, doctors hard to replace, and too overloaded to change the status quo. However, there have been some fairly large breakthroughs and efforts we should be aware of and keep tracking. There are surgeries that surgeons really struggle with but could be valuable if we employ medical robotics. Companies building likely need to be general purpose and generally trained, while initially focusing on intractable or difficult surgical procedures. Some examples here: - Microsuturing of ultra-fine vessels or nerves (<1 mm diameter) - suturing capillaries in retinal surgery or in nerve grafting - Replacing robotics with non-invasive tumor ablation in deep or sensitive tissue (e.g., brainstem, pancreas) - Insightec proposing focused ultrasound here - Laparoscopic surgery inside ultra-confined spaces (e.g., fetal surgery, heart valves) - Surgery with real-time adaptation to deformable tissue (e.g., moving lungs, beating heart) - Robots could scan while they’re operating whereas human surgeons might have to switch Other Thoughts: - A place with increasing surgeries with less regulatory burden is in the pet/vet space. Margins and throughput also matter a lot more here because the gross profit for each patient is smaller. - Companies need to focus on human inaccessible but crucial surgeries - like microsuturing as a wedge Full thesis below.

#MorcosChallenge Tissue was thin/hole too low on the bifurcation to use cotton-clipping. Aneurysm reclipped w/ divided TM2 stump as cover for the hole, based on good backflow through TM2. Temporal lobe had collateral from posterior circulation, obviating need for bypass @EvaWuMD
