5 Ways MedTech is Helping Improve Surgeries

For surgeons, there is a constant need to innovate, adapt to changes in the field, and improve patient outcomes. Advances in surgical technologies aim to enhance patient experiences and improve care through shortened recovery times and reduced complication rates. So how specifically are advancements in medical technology, or MedTech, being developed to help improve patient outcomes?

How Can We Create An Environment Where Surgeons Work Smarter, Not Harder?

It’s a widely accepted adage that practice makes perfect. In today's surgical environment, the opportunity given to residents and attending alike the ability to improve their proficiency outside of the OR is a critical addition to their practice. Technical proficiency is not something to be achieved later in a surgeon’s tenure - rather, it is an integral factor in helping to improve patient safety and surgical outcomes today.

How Digital Solutions Can Continually Help Improve Surgical Proficiency

Achieving a positive outcome and improving the quality of life for the patient is the goal of any surgical intervention. This objective has long driven advancements in the surgical field, including today’s digital solutions that are designed to help surgeons reduce variation in care and potentially improve patient outcomes.

Why Tech Tools Need To Be Surgeon-Friendly

As surgery moves towards minimally invasive outpatient procedures and digital technologies become more prevalent in the OR, there is a risk that using this tech could contribute to the cognitive overload many surgeons are already experiencing. With 53% of surgeons contending with burnout, it’s clear that new technologies need to be developed with paramount consideration given to the unmet needs of surgeons in efforts to minimize contributing to this mental overload.
