    How AI and Robotics Are Transforming Ophthalmology with Dr. Joseph Nathan, Founder and CEO of ForSight Robotics
    2026/08/19
    What if the most common surgery in medicine could become one of the most consistent through robotics? In my latest conversation, I sat down with Dr. Joseph Nathan, Founder and CEO of ForSight Robotics, to explore why ophthalmology is becoming one of the next frontiers for surgical robotics. We discussed how cataract surgery, the most common procedure in medicine, is uniquely suited for robotic assistance because of its repetitive nature and the need for extraordinary precision. Dr. Nathan shared how advances in AI, computing power, and robotics are helping create systems designed to improve consistency and predictability for both surgeons and patients. He also emphasized the importance of bringing these technologies to market responsibly while maintaining the highest standards of patient safety and cybersecurity. If you're curious about where AI, robotics, and ophthalmology are converging to reshape one of the world's most common surgeries, this is a conversation you won't want to miss!

  • Beyond AI Hype: Building Trusted Hospital Robotics with Sultan Mehrabi, CEO of Relay Robotics, and Craig Anderson, Vice President of Innovation at BayCare

    Beyond AI Hype: Building Trusted Hospital Robotics with Sultan Mehrabi, CEO of Relay Robotics, and Craig Anderson, Vice President of Innovation at BayCare
    2026/08/13
    What happens when a hospital trusts a robot as much as one of its own team members? In this episode of Outcomes Rocket, Saul Marquez speaks with Sultan Mehrabi, CEO of Relay Robotics, and Craig Anderson, Vice President of Innovation at BayCare, about how autonomous delivery robots are transforming hospital operations through a collaborative innovation partnership. They explain how Relay robots safely transport lab samples, medications, and other critical items, allowing nurses and pharmacy staff to spend more time on direct patient care while maintaining a secure chain of custody and reliable delivery. The conversation highlights that successful healthcare innovation depends less on adopting AI for its own sake and more on solving real workflow problems through close collaboration, user adoption, and continuous improvement. They also discuss why reliability, trust, and seamless integration into hospital infrastructure are essential for autonomous robotics to become accepted by clinicians, patients, and health systems alike. Learn how one health system is using autonomous robotics to improve patient care, reduce staff workload, and redefine what successful healthcare innovation really looks like!
