mash up! Johnson & Johnson co-developed a new surgical robot

Release date: 2015-04-08

Recently, Johnson & Johnson's medical device company and Internet technology giant Google signed a cooperation agreement, mainly for the development of a new generation of surgical robots, which is good news for doctors, patients and medical institutions.

What kind of spark will the cooperation between the pharmaceutical giant and the Internet giants generate? The two companies said in a joint statement that they will combine their respective research and development capabilities, intellectual property and expertise to create a new robotic assistance. The surgical platform fully integrates advanced technology with medical care.

This collaboration was facilitated by Johnson & Johnson's innovative team, and the financial details were not disclosed.

Robot-assisted surgery is a type of minimally invasive surgery that uses mechanical assistance to achieve precise control during surgery, minimizing trauma and accelerating postoperative recovery.

The two companies are currently developing new mechanical tools and performance for surgeons and operating theatres, hoping to combine state-of-the-art medical device technology with cutting-edge robotics, imaging and data analysis systems.

Gary Pruden, head of Johnson & Johnson's global surgery team, said that Ethicon has been working on new products and technologies for the past 60 years, and working with Google is a critical step in Johnson & Johnson's advancement in surgical diagnosis and treatment. Both Johnson & Johnson and Google are committed to fully integrating science, technology and surgery to create a world-class technical team. The entire cooperative transaction will be completed in the second quarter of this year.

It’s not new for Google to get involved in life medicine. Last year, a Google Life Sciences program called "Google X" kicked off with a focus on genomic data and nanodiagnostics led by Andrew Conrad, co-founder of the National Institute of Genomics.

In 2013, Google formed a medical division called Calico, led by Genentech's former chairman and CEO, Apple's current chairman, Arthur Levinson.

Google is currently looking for ways to address the problem of aging, in addition to developing new equipment, and even participating in the development of new drugs.
