Health Professional Radio - Podcast

Kate Drake, Head of Product Marketing with Corindus, a Siemens Healthineers Company, discusses the CorPath® GRX robotic system that was developed to make complex heart and brain procedures safer for patients and physicians by limiting radiation exposure and making physician movements more precise, but it can also be operated remotely. Currently, physicians will control the robot while seated across the room, but a cardiologist in India successfully performed five heart procedures in 2018 while controlling the robot over a hardwired internet connection from 20 miles away. Robotic-assisted procedures are turning out to be very beneficial during the pandemic.
