Case Summary
003
Problem: Surgery has become harder, not smarter
Building on the success of its first-generation robotic device, iotaMotion launched a second-generation device to further automate cochlear implant surgery. This new device is compatible with a wider range of implants, significantly boosting iotaMotion's market potential. However, the increased complexity of setup and operation introduces novelty, cognitive load, and friction to the original process.
