Maven Surgical

Intelligent and Reliable Robotics Assistants for Surgeons

About Maven Surgical

According to our surgeon interview, 83% of the surgeons reported that technical skill is a major challenge during robotic surgery and training. To solve the problem, we aim to create intelligent and reliable partners during robotic surgery for augmenting surgeon performance and patient safety. To get started, our short-term goal is to create a wearable device that can understand surgeon’s movement quality and provide them with haptic feedback and guidance in real-time.

Problem statement

Operating surgical robots is diffcult.
Human errors in medicine is the 3rd leading cause of death in the US.
In robotic surgery, 15.3% of the adverse events are related to surgeon/staff errors.
83.3% of our interviewees (surgeons) believe surgical skill is the biggest challenge in robotic surgery.

Current solution: Huge amount of training.
The problem of current solution:
1. No real-time feedback/guidance based on surgeon performance.
2. No objective performance evaluation.
3. Surgeon workforce shortage.
