Younger surgeons are far more likely to adopt digital health tools like remote monitoring and robotics than their older colleagues. Early-career doctors are building new practices around smart surgery and tech-enabled care from the start, while established surgeons often resist these changes.

So when I talk to residents or I talk to people who are new in practice and I say, hey, we're going to look at that, they stop me. They're like, oh, I totally get this. We're going to monitor the patients remotely. So I think it may be a case of almost having to grow up with the digital.
So the adoption rates, younger surgeons probably.
And this will be a surprise to no one as well. But a lot of younger surgeons are like, hey, I also, I'm starting up my new practice in fill in the blank. And so I want to offer robotics and smart surgery and kind of a digital solution for my patients. So, you know, 21st century approach to, to care.
