A universal translator for surgeons

Title:
A universal translator for surgeons
Speaker:
Steven Schwaitzberg
Description:

Laparoscopic surgery uses minimally invasive incisions -- which means less pain and shorter recovery times for patients. But Steven Schwaitzberg has run into two problems teaching these techniques to surgeons around the world: language and distance. He shares how a new technology, which combines videoconferencing and a real-time universal translator, could help.
