July 22, 2026- Medtronic is presenting an early look at its next-generation compute platform for the operating room. Touch Surgery™ Aide — an AI-native surgical computing platform that powers the Touch Surgery™ ecosystem — enables real-time artificial intelligence during procedures. Touch Surgery™ Aide will be shared at the Society of Robotic Surgery (SRS) 2026 Annual Meeting in Florida, July 23-26.
Built on years of experience, the Touch Surgery™ ecosystem brings insight to surgery, in more than 1,500 operating rooms worldwide. It connects the entire surgical journey: bridging pre-operative planning and training, intra-operative tele-mentoring and tele-proctoring, and AI-powered post-operative insight, simplifying workflows and extending access beyond individual ORs.
Touch Surgery™ Aide expands the Touch Surgery™ ecosystem with next-generation computing capabilities, enabling multimodal AI-driven support during surgery. This provides surgeons with access to actionable insights during procedures, supports case review, and helps inform continuous improvement in clinical decision-making.
