Increasing numbers of surgeries, surgical variability, workforce challenges and high levels of investment in new technologies, including surgical robots, are all having an impact on care services.
In this context, Dr. Renaud DAVIOT's team has created a surgical tool that can be easily incorporated into nearly any operating room, considering the medical and economic limitations of care facilities like hospitals and clinics. The Cobodoc surgical cobotics system and its cobot-based organizational approach aim to enhance surgical procedures, streamline healthcare system operations, and boost operating room efficiency.
“Cobodoc : doing better at controlled costs.”
A healthcare center's investment in the Cobodoc system is primarily justified by the cobot's advanced capabilities and technological sophistication. Cobodoc enhances instrument guidance and the handling of moving targets.
According to initial clinical trials, another advantage of this technology for care centers is the reduction in patient length of stay, and particularly in the post-operative observation period. In this way, the care center can increase the number of patients it cares for by switching from conventional hospitalization to outpatient care.
Cobodoc surgical cobot gives visibility to the establishment that acquires it and participates in the development of services. The interest for the patient is to be treated at the cutting edge of innovation. Patients who learn about their disease will tend to choose a facility equipped with surgical cobots. For complex cases, patients associate the presence of modern, innovative equipment with better medical care. The acquisition of a surgical cobot creates a patient base of more complicated cases. It has been noted that in hospitals that have chosen to equip themselves with a surgical robot, patients demand the use of the robot even when the surgical procedure does not require it. Some North American studies, for example, suggest that the hospitals that won over patients had invested in a surgical robot. Some rankings include the presence of a surgical robot in the technical score of specialties when evaluating healthcare institutions. The Cobodoc surgical system offers care centers real economic value while improving patient care.
“Cobodoc : don't just choose a simple machine, hire a reliable assistant for your surgical team.”
Cobodoc also provides a high profile for the hospital department. Benefits for the care facility include improving its attractiveness to surgeons, particularly younger surgeons making it possible to overcome staff recruitment problems in healthcare services.
