David Fischel: Surgical Robotics for Superhuman and Remote Operations

Precision medicine isn’t just molecular—it’s anatomical. Even as gene editing advances, many conditions still demand exquisitely targeted surgical care. That’s the world envisioned by Stereotaxis CEO David Fischel, where operations become remote, cockpit-guided missions. Using magnetic “invisible fingers,” surgeons steer ultra-soft catheters with sub-millimeter precision through fragile vessels. After two decades and 170,000 patients, Stereotaxis has reshaped cardiac procedures into robotic navigation—bridging genomics, anatomy, and the future of intervention.Produced and hosted by Jonathan D.
