5G
With the expansion of 5G technology, the Zeus system can be combined with virtual reality to perform surgery from overseas.
The biggest improvement 5G provides is reduced latency of under 5 milliseconds. As 5G is gradually deployed worldwide, we can see this high-speed data transfer being used to send surgery information in real time, from one operating room to another.
Da Vinci Robot and Hardware
The Da Vinci Robot is a surgical system installed in hospitals worldwide which can be used to perform a variety of procedures. Currently, the surgeon must be controlling the robot in person, meaning they must be in the same room as the patient. By combining the Zeus system with virtual reality hardware, like the Oculus Pro, surgeons can perform operations in a virtual environment, sending commands to the da vinci robot and receiving surgery information in real time.
Predicting Movement With Infrared
5G solves the latency issues involved with performing surgery from overseas. However, we can improve the seamlessness and safety of the procedure by using infrared sensors to track and predict the surgeon’s movements, sending commands to the Da Vinci robot in advance. This additional refinement is the standard for our development team and takes the Zeus system from practical to the ideal means of remote surgery.
