Abstract :
A crying need for standardized safety management in health-care in conventional and in robotic surgery in particular has been identified. The same will, which has led to safer air transportation, can be a great source of inspiration for health-care. This paper proposes an interactive platform for the operating room with robotic surgery in view of an efficient safety implementation.
