Frost Radar™: Soft Tissue Navigation Systems, 2023

A Benchmarking System to Spark Companies to Action - Innovation that Fuels New Deal Flow and Growth Pipelines
Robot-assisted surgery offers significant promise in driving down treatment costs and addressing the healthcare industry’s increasing burden of lifestyle-related diseases and demand for affordable care. Next-generation surgical robotics technology and surgical navigation systems complement and extend surgeons’ ability to minimize surgical variability, a key factor driving the adoption of surgical navigation systems platforms among hospitals, as now surgeons can perform complex tasks with greater control and less strain while ensuring patient safety.

With the advancement of digital and analytical technologies, deployment of arti?cial intelligence (AI) technologies, including machine learning and machine vision, in next-generation surgical platforms enables the systems to offer insights to surgeons based on analysis of the data collected. Moreover, haptic feedback signals when the pressure threshold is reached to prevent damaging anatomical structures. Flexible payment and leasing business models, improved ergonomics, multi-quadrant surgeries, reduced surgeon burnout, and occupation-related disease acquisition are key trends in this area. Frost & Sullivan expects the adoption of next-generation surgical navigation technology platforms to increase inpatient surgery volumes by reducing patients’ length of stay (LOS) and offer signi?cant cost advantages for hospitals.
