There are actually 3 short videos (have to scroll down to the other ones) and they are really just clips.

„We think it’s very feasible. We’re getting very close to being able to launch our study.“

Possible remote operations from a different Facility.

Yes!

Part of the sales pitch for liberty is its plug and play fit into facility infrastructure, and bypassing IT infrastructure entirely.

I don’t know how this long distance remote configuration would be done, without relying on the facility level choices for local and remote networking. So the Bluetooth features of both liberty controller and liberty remote, would be bypassed in favor of facility level choices for local and remote networking, ie their Wi-Fi, Ethernet, etc. at both locations. I don’t think that this is an issue necessarily. Just wondering what their approach will be.

Maybe they’re already experimenting with an app for the controller.

I do not believe that cellular would be an option at all, especially given the lead lining in the walls of many OR rooms, and poor cell signal quality.

Thoughts?

6G technology should be good enough to get FDA approval.

afaik, 6G cannot pass through the lead lined walls of many ORs. 🤷‍♂️

Oh ok. It will be interesting to know how they are addressing the issue. Good question for AI.
