Intermountain Healthcare's American Fork Hospital is using advancements aimed at making medical procedures a little easier for patients thanks to tech savvy teens trying their hand at this next generation technology
Every day seems to produce an innovation and the DaVinci robotic surgical system is just the latest marvel.Montgomery has spent three decades working in healthcare, and she believes in the benefits of the robotic technology that will allow a doctor to perform a surgery without being in the operating room.
But as this technology becomes more widespread, this next gen device will need the next generation of operators. That’s why the hospital brought the technology to Lone Peak High School."You only have two grabbers, so its kind of harder than having five fingers to grab everything or do everything you wanted to do," said senior Spencer Gygi.
"At first, the depth perception was hard to understand, but once you got used to it you got to unwrap the snickers," added Gygi.
