The healthcare industry is extremely complex with high workloads and intricate workflows. Human lives depend on the availability of tools, knowledge of treatments, the confidence and competence of healthcare providers, and many other factors. New approaches are required to make impactful and safe changes to current medical practice in many areas. The field of computational surgery derives its success from cross-collaboration with a diverse group including engineers, mathematicians, air civil engineers, psychologist, physicians, nurses, hospital management, health insurers, biotechnology and many other fields as needed by the endeavor. Individuals from different fields work side-by-side with entire healthcare teams and industry partners to develop and improve innovative medical practices.
