Today we are pleased to announce that we’ve reached an agreement to join J&J. Since Verb’s founding in 2015 by J&J and Google, we’ve created a vision for the future through the world’s first digital surgery platform. Today’s announcement allows us to move closer to that vision.

We are excited to have Kurt Azarbarzin, a medical device and surgery market veteran, join us as President and CEO. Read our recent announcement here: bit.ly/2LHIYa3

Learn more about our history, partnerships, and ambitious vision to create the future of #DigitalSurgery in this wide ranging interview between Sertac Guzel, Director of Marketing at Verb, and Saul Marquez of the @OutcomesRocket Podcast. Listen here: bit.ly/VerbPodcast

Fred Moll, Chief Development Officer for @JNJMedDevices and the founder of robotic surgery as we know it today, describes J&J’s vision for building out a Digital Surgery ecosystem at @socroboticsurg #SRS2019

At its core, Digital Surgery is about building an information system for the surgeon. Dave Herrmann, SVP Marketing and BD at Verb describes our development approach powered by the latest advancements in connectivity and machine learning. At @socroboticsurg #SRS2019

Partnerships are key to achieving our mission. In @MedTechStrat, Celine Martin, Head of Digital Surgery at @JNJMedDevices says, "With our wide reach and presence around the world, J&J has a significant opportunity and responsibility to deliver on the promise of digital surgery."

From Deep Medicine by @EricTopol, "Calling it Surgery 4.0, Verb's concept of cloud connected surgeons sharing experiences and access to data is akin to democratizing surgical practice." AI can help augment, but not replace, surgical skill & knowledge inside/outside the OR.

"We think this is going to be a revolution... not based on robotics, but on data-based surgery." - Dave Herrmann, SVP, Marketing & Business Development at Verb Surgical. Presenting at the 136th Congress of the German Society of Surgery. #Surgery #AI

On AI & surgical robotics: “The robots that have been around for decades are really just remote manipulators... AI has the potential to unlock improvements in both OR productivity & safety.” -Euan Thomson, Global Head R&D, Digital Tech and Adv Innovation at #JNJ #FTDigitalSurgery

“Up until now, surgery has been a black box... we are starting to build a language around this that can help optimize outcomes.” -Pablo Garcia Kilroy of Verb Surgical #FTdigitalsurgery
