If you're undergoing surgery, you want the best surgical team to collaborate on your case, no matter where they are. Surgeon and entrepreneur Nadine Hachach-Haram is developing a new system that helps surgeons operate together and train one another on new techniques — from remote locations using low-cost augmented reality tools. Watch the system in action as she joins a surgeon in Minnesota performing a knee surgery, live on her laptop from the TED stage in New Orleans. As Hachach-Haram says: "Through simple, everyday devices that we take for granted, we can really do miraculous things." (This talk contains graphic images of surgery.)

Shape* the future of surgery.
How augmented reality could shape* the future of surgery. You can’t change the future, as you cannot change what hasn’t happened yet.
Well, ‘shape’ is just the action of creating something, whilst ‘change’ meant in a positive way, like actually changing it from bad to the better.
great your so very sorry you have learned the future is deterministic now can you be smart enough to realize how words work
Change* the projected outcome of a future situation or scenario* By definition, we cannot know our own future; we can only anticipate and project possibilities. We can change the expected outcome of what is to be, just as we could also say that we can shape our future.
your one dense a#@ dude
The future is neither bad nor good. Unless you have actual knowledge of the future, you aren’t changing it. You’re shaping it.
Also, to say we’re changing it for the better implies that it was going to be bad.
I agree a future without the cool tech would be “worse” in my imagination. But we still didn’t change anything, because nothing happened yet.
Typical TED Leftist Propaganda. There’s a depopulation agenda masquerading as human rights. They want you to trust cars that you don’t drive, let robots operate on you, and put chips and poisonous vaccines in your newborns. GMOs, chemtrails, weaponized weather, you people wouldn’t believe the satanists and pedophiles in charge of the internet, and countries.
Wake up.
Virtual reality and surgery will DECREASE the population…..How exactly? If anything it would increase it.
Hello there. Actually in this presentation there is nothing about being operate by a robot. This surgeon presents a solution to help and form other médecins all around the world, for a decent cost. That’s pretty interesting I think.
Wake up. You’ve taken one too many Alex Jones supplements
Are you sure you’re awake yet? You sound like you’re dreaming. The most effective way of depopulating would be to ban vaccines. We have the lowest global infant mortality rates in history and it’s still dropping, even in the least economically developed countries.
If the Illuminati are trying to depopulate, you have nothing to worry about; they are obviously incompetent.
Wakeup, Everytime there is a social scientific advancement, there are a segment of people who are completely terrified. We need to educate people, like yourself, more in sciences so you arent so scared of what you don’t understand. It isn’t healthy to live like that. Reality is scary enough w/o feeding into your own delusions.
:thinking:
Legal implications must be addressed. For instance, in a lawsuit for medical negligence, who is culpable?
Srinath Kadiam the surgeons involved as usual I’d imagine
In case of a mishap due to miscommunication, who is the guilty party, the transmitter or the receiver?
Srinath Kadiam the receiver. They are who is actually performing the surgery. They’ve just been getting tips and tricks from their more qualified tutor. That happens in hospitals anyway. The only thing that’s different here is the AR.
In case this is taken global, there comes into play the question of the validity of the medical license to practice in the territory where the surgery is being carried out??
Srinath Kadiam I’d assume that before the training and money is put forward they make sure the Doctor is properly qualified and licensed (and possibly help them get licensed if need be) so this would not be a problem
she is so hot and smart, which is a rare combination
totally agree
This doesn’t increase the number of surgeons at all. It just frees them up geographically.
So those few surgeons poor countries can afford to train will just compete internationally.
This isn’t helping the poor. It’s globalization which serves the rich.
I know my argument has has as many holes as hers. But just shows it’s too simplistic.
In this system, competing internationally could mean sitting in an office in their own country and advising surgeons anywhere in the world. In the current system, there is a financial incentive for the best doctors to move to the rich countries. Hospitals in the West are full of the best doctors from all over the world – another shameful way that we steal from the poor.
Tilman Baumann but someone could easily set up a Charity Organization (or ones that already exist like Doctors Without Borders) that pays for surgeons in Europe and the US to train these other surgeons in places like Africa where they can’t afford the training
Incredible work! Thank you
From the people who said 2018 would have flying cars, and the only thing we have is Knuckles Uganda Memes
How exactly is this AR?
Her hottness should make this go trending
Has a really cool TED Talk that talks about using modern technology to solve a problem most people don’t realize is problem
Comment section: “damn she is hot…I’d bone that”
No need to point fingers. A mouse cursor on the video footage will do. Why make things more complicated by adding the buzzword. This is not really AR…
How GMO is transforming?
Please oh please, speak percents.
If I wake up to her I would believe I’m in heaven
