Sustainable Innovation: ASCs + Robotics for Patients, Performance & Planet

Medtech Sustainability Forum: Sustainable Innovation: ASCs + Robotics for Patients, Performance and Planet

The Forum brings together clinicians, hospital leaders, engineers, industry experts, sustainability directors, and innovators to highlight the connection between surgical innovation, robotics, and sustainability. Sessions offer practical strategies for shifting appropriate cases to Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs) and optimizing robotic-assisted programs to reduce carbon emissions, cut costs, and improve outcomes. Topics include avoiding bed-day emissions, using green anesthesia in ambulatory settings, and designing robotic pathways that minimize waste, energy use, complications, and staff strain. By approaching patient-centered innovation with a commitment to environmental responsibility, outcomes that benefit both patients and the planet result.
