The world debut is soon coming *SCOT® is a registered trademark of Tokyo Women’s Medical University.*OPeLiNK® is a registered trademark of DENSO CORPORATION. The interior of Hyper SCOT at Tokyo Woman’s Medical University, equipped with leading-edge technology, including a robot bed, open MRI, and organic electroluminescent lighting. More than twenty medical devices are networked via OPeLiNK, forming a futuristic space resembling an aircraft pilot’s cockpit. SCOT is an advanced system that integrates an open MRI scanner and a Surgical navigation system with other medical devices used during surgery, such as a rapid diagnostic test system, a 4K3D microscope monitor, and a surgeon’s cockpit. A prototype was constructed in 2016, and a fully-networked standard model was announced last year. This year, Hyper SCOT, the newest version, designed to incorporate advances in robotics and AI, became available for clinical research at Tokyo Women’s Medical University, whose staff used the newly integrated system for the first time to conduct a brain surgery in February, with successful results that confirm the value of this approach. Professor Yoshihiro Muragaki of the Faculty of Advanced Techno-Surgery at the Tokyo Women’s Medical University, explains the significance of the break-through. “Until now, operating theaters have been full of equipment working independently of each other, and data obtained from monitoring the patient, images of the surgical field, and the operating condition of the devices have been displayed POWER OF INNOVATION for the futuristic Smart Cyber Operating Theater (SCOT®), in which technology companies bring their expertise, such as utilizing the Internet of Things (IoT), to the site of leading-edge medical practice. When the medical devices and equipment in an operating theater are connected and linked to a network, vast amount of data concerning the progress of the operation and the patient’s condition can be comprehensively processed to improve the precision and safety of the surgical procedure.Japanese Previously, surgeons only had their individual skills to rely on. Now that has been transformed by high-tech in the surgical theater: teamwork is led by Japanese medical science and middleware technology.20Cutting-edge Operating Theater Connected by IoT
