Surgical Robotics
Advanced surgical robots have evolved from experimental prototypes into a standard of care across major medical fields. These AI-enabled platforms function as hyper-precise extensions of actual surgeons, bridging complex technology to improve patient outcomes in the real world.
RTI enables real-time data streaming across diverse surgical platforms, for both on-premise and telesurgery. Connext serves as the data backbone in award-winning surgical robotics programs, providing integration across diverse subsystems to deliver data within the system, across the OR or around the world.
RTI is partnering with the leading medical robotics companies to deliver next-generation systems that integrate:
- Advanced robotics, sensors and instrumentation
- Visualization, AI, AR/VR integration
- Surgical autonomy
- Remote surgery and monitoring
- Data fusion, analytics and integration across devices and ecosystems
RTI Connext: Reliable Data Streaming, Securely and at Scale
Robotic surgical systems run on a convergence of intelligent technologies and systems.
To fully leverage new and enabling technologies, data connectivity requirements and clinical user needs, surgical robotic systems need to be designed with flexible and interoperable architectures that allow for rapid device evolution, while simultaneously addressing specific requirements for reliability, cybersecurity and performance.
RTI Connext delivers a MedTech-proven, real-time software connectivity framework to flexibly address the demanding compute needs of surgical robotic systems – from the edge up to the cloud.
