Building the future of digital surgery with robotics, advanced instruments, enhanced imaging, connectivity, and data/AI with @ethicon @jnjnews #verily @google
Today we are pleased to announce that we’ve reached an agreement to join J&J. Since Verb’s founding in 2015 by J&J and Google, we’ve created a vision for the future through the world’s first digital surgery platform. Today’s announcement allows us to move closer to that vision.
JUST IN: #JNJ has announced an agreement to acquire @VerbSurgical to help further strengthen the company's digital surgery portfolio within @JNJMedDevices and shape the next frontier of surgery. Learn more: https://t.co/twJ9BDKzkb
We are excited to have Kurt Azarbarzin, a medical device and surgery market veteran, join us as President and CEO. Read our recent announcement here: https://t.co/yvvAHjyGfo
Learn more about our history, partnerships, and ambitious vision to create the future of #DigitalSurgery in this wide ranging interview between Sertac Guzel, Director of Marketing at Verb, and Saul Marquez of the @OutcomesRocket Podcast. Listen here: https://t.co/Rh3HL2ijbb
Fred Moll, Chief Development Officer for @JNJMedDevices and the founder of robotic surgery as we know it today, describes J&J’s vision for building out a Digital Surgery ecosystem at @socroboticsurg#SRS2019
At its core, Digital Surgery is about building an information system for the surgeon. Dave Herrmann, SVP Marketing and BD at Verb describes our development approach powered by the latest advancements in connectivity and machine learning. At @socroboticsurg#SRS2019
“We are still at the mainframe stage” Robotic surgery today is scratching the surface of Digital Surgery, with strong promise of utilizing the computer interface between a patient and a surgeon to unprecedented levels for stronger empowerment of surgeons. @VerbSurgical
Partnerships are key to achieving our mission. In @MedTechStrat, Celine Martin, Head of Digital Surgery at @JNJMedDevices says, "With our wide reach and presence around the world, J&J has a significant opportunity and responsibility to deliver on the promise of digital surgery."
From Deep Medicine by @EricTopol, "Calling it Surgery 4.0, Verb's concept of cloud connected surgeons sharing experiences and access to data is akin to democratizing surgical practice." AI can help augment, but not replace, surgical skill & knowledge inside/outside the OR.
"We think this is going to be a revolution... not based on robotics, but on data-based surgery." - Dave Herrmann, SVP, Marketing & Business Development at Verb Surgical. Presenting at the 136th Congress of the German Society of Surgery. #Surgery#AI
On AI & surgical robotics: “The robots that have been around for decades are really just remote manipulators... AI has the potential to unlock improvements in both OR productivity & safety.” -Euan Thomson, Global Head R&D, Digital Tech and Adv Innovation at #JNJ#FTDigitalSurgery
“Up until now, surgery has been a black box... we are starting to build a language around this that can help optimize outcomes.” -Pablo Garcia Kilroy of Verb Surgical #FTdigitalsurgery
The future of health and medicine - where can technology take us? Daniel Kraft, Exponential Medicine addressing the challenges - 143 million more surgeries are required globally #FTDigitalSurgery Summit @taylorwessing@touchsurgery@verbsurgical

Delighted to deliver a keynote @ExponentialMed on #DigitalSurgery. The robot will assist the surgeon now. Surgery is undergoing necessary disruptive and transformative change
@IntuitiveSurg in robotics and @Ethicon in MIS are great foundations for the next 20 yrs. #digitalsurgery will build on these foundations w/ connectivity & big data/AI to deliver greater access to surgery for patients at lower costs with better outcomes. Exciting times ahead!
Our President & CEO Gary Guthart details Intuitive's 20+ year history of hard work in delivering meaningful innovation and a systems approach to surgery for the benefit of surgeons, patients and their families. More on @Forbes: https://t.co/hiMdfSAHRK
Important for governments, payors, providers & suppliers in healthcare to work together to develop this solution of sharing patient data responsibly. The global opportunity for greater patient access, lower costs and better outcomes are a benefit to everyone. @ManishChandSurg
”Once we are able to share data responsibly &without the genuine concerns of misuse we will be able to build accurate AI algos &true robotic surgery” @ManishChandSurg Robotics, artificial intelligence and distributed ledgers in surgery: data is key! https://t.co/LNwS2zDRhU
