The robotic-assisted surgical systems used in American Fork Hospital include a training game that tracks a user’s score. Several high school students scored a 99 out of 100 the first time they touched the equipment.
The devices provide minimally invasive surgeries, which allow patients to recover more quickly and reduce the risk for infections.
The sales representatives consistently score in the mid-90s on the game, but several Lone Peak students scored a 99 out of 100 the first time they touched the equipment. Paskett worked with some of his friends at American Fork Hospital to set the machines up Monday in the school’s common area. Students in computer science, anatomy and other classes sat in front of a large virtual reality device and used hand controls to move the da Vinci XI’s robotic arms. They practiced opening doors and putting pegs into holes with the VR game before trying to use the arms to peel the wrappers off fun-size candy bars.
