H Johnson & Johnson, one of America's largest pharmaceutical (and beauty) industries, announced today that it will partner with Google for medical development robot who will be able to help in the surgery.
The two εταιρείες ελπίζουν ότι η ρομποτική τεχνολογία μπορεί να βοηθήσει τους επαγγελματίες της ιατρικής παρέχοντας μεγαλύτερο έλεγχο και ακρίβεια σε μια χειρουργική επέμβαση. Σύμφωνα με την Johnson & Johnson, τα ρομπότ εκτός των άλλων θα μπορούν να παρέχουν λεπτομερείς απεικονίσεις και αναλύσεις data during surgeries, according to TNW.
"This partnership with Google is another important step in our commitment to promoting surgical care," Gary Pruden, president of the Johnson & Johnson Global Group of Surgeons, said in a press release. "We aim to put the best science, technology and surgical know-how in the hands of medical teams around the world."
Today's partnership isn't Google's first investment in medical technology. Last year, he collaborated with company Novartis to create a line of smart contact lenses that could measure the wearer's blood glucose levels.
It is unclear whether Google's partnership with J&J is currently part of the Moonshot Google X projects, which include many bizarre programs, such as Project Loon, self-driving cars, the lenses mentioned above and, of course, Google Glass. Really what happened to the ambitious Google Glass project?
