Description:
A fundamental challenge of healthcare is to meet the increasing demand for quality of care while minimizing the cost. We aim to make meaningful contributions to solve the challenge by creating innovative, minimally-invasive imaging and image-guided robotics technologies collaborating with leading research hospitals and other stake holders. In this lecture, we present technologies under development such as ultra-miniature endoscope, image-guided needle robot, and scanning-laser ophthalmoscope, and discuss how we can potentially address unmet clinical needs.
