telepresence

The Implausipod returns to cyberpunk with an look at the first two episodes of The Peripheral, the adaptation of the 2014 William Gibson novel that aired on Amazon Prime on October 21st, 2022.  In this podcast episode, we take a look at the show about communication between two future dystopias, and provide some background behind the tech that appears on screen. Mild spoilers may exist for those who haven't seen the episodes, but hopefully this episode helps explain some of the more esoteric elements in the first two episodes as they aired.

Aaron Campbell of OhmniLabs joins me to talk about telepresence robots, AI, ethics, and Jurassic Park.

A modern hospital operating room often has someone you never see on television: a medical device company representative. The device might be a special saw or probe or other tool for the surgeon to use. It might be an artificial hip or knee—or a mandible or a pacemaker.

The surgeon may be using the device and its toolkit for the first time. The medical device company representative often knows more about the device and its insertion than anyone on the surgical team.

Even in non-Covid times, it’s a plus to have as few people in the OR as possible. And it’s inefficient to fly these company reps around the country to advise an operation that might only take an hour. 

And so, in a handful of ORs, you’ll see something else—one or more cameras, mounted strategically, and a flat-panel screen on a console, connected to a remote console. The medical device rep—or a consulting surgeon—can be a thousand kilometers away, controlling the cameras, looking at an MRI scan, and making notations on their tablet that can be seen on the one in the operating room.

It’s telemedicine for the OR, and it’s the brainchild of our guest today. 

Keaton Kruger is in the ag industry and caught my attention over Twitter about a year ago.  He studies things that interest him and has a curiosity about things he doesn't understand.  We discussed a huge array of topics from fasting, human genetics, telepresence, and surveillance.  We explore how to look and sound better on video calls and Vance explains his theory on Telepresence.
