Why surgeons and hospitals – not robotics industry – should drive telesurgery’s future adoption

In this episode of IntuitiveTalks, Host Tom Salemi visits Intuitive’s Atlanta hub to sit down with Brian Miller, executive vice president and chief digital officer.

 

Miller, who witnessed the first telesurgery procedure in 2001, shares his perspective on how surgical robotics has advanced beyond many early barriers to long-distance surgery. He emphasizes that adoption must be driven by user needs, not hype, with success hinging on meeting the daily realities of surgeons, patients, and health systems. This practical, patient-centered conversation explores what’s next for telesurgery.
