A robotic surgical system for treating a patient comprises a first robotic arm configured to remotely control a surgical instrument that is positionable within a cavity of the patient; a second robotic arm configured to remotely control a device that is passable through an orifice of the patient; and a control circuit communicatively couplable to the first and second robotic arm. The first and second robotic are each attached to a surgical platform. The control circuit is configured to determine a position of the arms; cause each of the first and second robotic arm to change their respective position and orientation based on an adjustment of a platform position of the surgical platform; and control the first robotic arm and the second robotic arm to cooperatively interact to perform a surgical operation.

A body brace is described. In some examples, a first member can be attached to a torso of a human body (to middle/lower portion of the body). The body brace can also include a second member attached to a head of the human body and arranged to support a chin of the human body. The body brace can further include a third member attached between the first member and the second member to distribute a force exerted between the first member and the second member.

A method and system for integrated diagnostic testing and real-time treatment that includes a medical data gathering device to capture multiple of source images, where at least one of the source images contains a fiducial marker. The method and system incorporate a low latency encoder to encode the captured source images into a data stream and further includes an environmental sensor device for the capturing of sensor data. A processor is used to contextually modify the source images based on the captured sensor data and the fiducial marker and a transmitting device is used to transmit the contextually modified source images to a display device.

An object or body-mounted camera apparatus for recording surgery is provided that is adapted for tracking a relevant visual field of an on-going operation. To help maintain visibility and/or focus of the visual field, specific machine learning approaches are proposed in combination with control commands to shift a physical positioning or a perspective of the camera apparatus. Additional variations are directed to tracking obstructions based on the visual field of the camera, which can be utilized for determining a primary recording for use when there are multiple cameras being used in concert.

Systems, devices and methods to improve safety and efficiency in an operating room comprise providing a suture package that holds new suture needles and needle receptacles for storing used needles. The devices can be safely worn for the surgeon to self-dispense new suture needles in the near surgical field and to secure the used needles into a needle trap or a needle retainer located on his extremity, on his operative instruments or on the surgical drapes. The device may provide automated and/or simplified needle counting both during use and after removal from the surgical field. The device may be configured for ergonomic and efficient use so as to minimize the actions and motions of the surgeon to dispense and secure the needle.

Monitoring a patient can include a vital sign device including a skin contact and a demodulator circuit in communication with the electrically conductive skin contact, the demodulator circuit including: a physiological waveform data processing module configured to process the waveform data received from the electrically conductive skin contact; and a digitally encoded data processing module configured to detect and decode digitally encoded data modulated at the carrier frequency. Also included can be a signal conductive blanket including an extended touch point. A clinician contacts the extended touch point of the signal conductive blanket and the patient monitoring device to connect the vital sign device and the patient monitoring device.
