Surgical Navigation

"Surgical Navigation" Dr. Jon Lea, Advanced Technology Manager, GE Healthcare Surgery Dr. Laurent Node-Langlois, NAV Engineering Manager, GE Healthcare Surgery Abstract: The medical device industry is one of the world's largest and fastest growing industries. Everyday a new company is created with one goal: provide a better care and faster recovery to all the patients. Today we will focus on one example in this industry: GE Healthcare. After going through a short description of what is GE Healthcare, we'll describe the Surgery Business (based in Salt Lake City) to finally dive into the Surgical Navigation segment. Together we will try to answer the following questions: What is Surgical Navigation? Is there a need for it? Who are the different players? How does it work? The complexity in the surgical area is to bring a new high-end tool without impacting the regular surgical workflow. Indeed, adding time during a surgical procedure can be critical for the patient health: it increases blood loss and can eventually create serious complications related to extended anesthesia. As we will see, the Healthcare industry is highly regulated. In the United States the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) oversees every product based on their classification and level of risk. Fortunately today you can't put a medical product on the market without their approval, but it comes to a cost for the manufacturer. Along this talk we will try to use specific examples to better illustrate how this regulation contributes to the design of a medical device. We will use the Surgical Navigation system as an example. Eventually we will go over the clinical benefits as described by the end users. Information on upcoming lectures is available through the ECE Department calendar: http://www.ece.utah.edu/ece_calendar
