HRX/SCRN Joint Session: The Role of Robotics in Present and Future Care of Heart Rhythm Patients-HRX/SCRN Joint Session

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Pete Weiss, a physiologist at Banner University of Arizona Medical Center, discusses the Society for Cardiac Robotic Navigation (SCRN), an international academic society focusing on robotics in electrophysiology. SCRN is preparing for its eighth symposium and collaborates with the Heart Rhythm Society (HRS) and HRX. Weiss leads a panel where experts like Ben D'Souza from the University of Pennsylvania discuss their experiences and innovations in robotic electrophysiology.<br /><br />D'Souza emphasizes the importance of technological adoption and innovation in improving patient care. Dan Cooper from Washington University highlights historical challenges and optimism for future advancements in robotic electrophysiology, despite slow initial adoption. David Fischel, CEO of Stereotaxis, outlines the company's journey and the significant strides being made to make robotic systems more accessible and integrated with various technologies.<br /><br />Key points include the need for broader integration of mapping systems and advances in automation. A new robot, Genesis X, promises easier installation and greater flexibility. The discussion also delves into how telemedicine and data integration can enhance robotic procedures, emphasizing collaboration among different technology providers to achieve seamless patient care.
