Really pleased to see our publication in @Nature, the @IDEALCollab framework for #surgicalrobotics evaluation. A mammoth effort from an international expert consortium. We consider device, clinician, system, and patient perspectives across IDEAL stages of robotics development
Surgical robotics are amongst the most complex devices entering healthcare - but how should we evaluate them? Published in Nature Medicine the IDEAL Robotics Colloquium outlines the latest guidance to aid researchers evaluating surgical robots: https://t.co/fK5KXY4PD2 (1/9)
