One example of this is Key Hole Surgery. Key Hole surgery now uses a robotic hand which is capable of 13 movements, when a human is only capable of 4. This means that there is less of a need for staff in the operation room however there will be a surgeon to control the robot.
This means improved clarity and detail of tissue planes and anatomy -- critical when performing delicate dissection or in reconstructive procedures.
Another example of medical advances is an invention called an 'An advanced balance system'. This is a device which you wear to decrease the chance that you will fall and to improve your balance by up to 50%. This has been invented to prevent the high number of elderly people who suffer from a fall related injury falling.
This works by providing vibrotactile biofeedback to augment or replace impaired balance sensation and is a new approach to solving this serious problem.Source
