I was just reading an old press release from JNJ:
“We believe Verb Surgical has the potential to change the future of surgery, not just robotic surgery,” said Gary Pruden, Worldwide Chairman, Johnson & Johnson Medical Devices. “The team has already made meaningful progress on the robotics platform, which is being developed for application across a host of surgical specialties.” Ethicon, which has deep expertise in minimally invasive surgery and advanced instrumentation, is developing surgical instruments for Verb Surgical’s new robotics-assisted platform. In the coming years, Verb Surgical aims to develop a comprehensive surgical solutions platform that will incorporate leading-edge robotic capabilities and best-in-class medical device technology for operating room professionals.
My thoughts are this:
Google wants the data
JNJ wants the devise
Verb was born.
No chance JnJ/Ethicon building their own devise unless they started a decade ago. Also, I thought they were going to show the world a prototype last year but it appears it was only shown to the Executive's at google and JnJ.
Have things changed?
