Palo Alto Residents Sing ‘Domo Arigato Mr. Roboto’

The rise of robotic technology has people wondering what it will mean for our future. In our Silicon Valley region, we’ve been exposed to robotic tech much longer than people in other areas. And we know how in the medical field, it doesn’t replace our human doctors but has become a valued partner.

For example, 3D X-rays and cameras help optometrists look deeper into our eyes. The tech has helped them identify emerging health problems, such as high blood pressure and diabetes, before the patient even feels symptoms. They can also detect small retinal tears that may require monitoring. And if a retinal tear needs attention, the quick and precise mobility of a laser can comfortably patch it up in minutes. This has changed eye care from dealing with serious vision loss to an undramatic, quick fix for a lifetime of eye health.

Driving home from such a procedure might have a Bay Area resident blown away by how easy that robot made their medical visit. They could turn on their tunes and celebrate by signing along to Styx’s Domo Arigato Mr. Roboto (Translation: ‘thank you, Mr. Robot).

The use of robots to achieve better medical results is already here. They are used for data collection, deeper body scans, developing better medical plans, and all types of surgical procedures, including hair loss treatment.

Robotic technology in the Bay Area enhances medical outcomes

When Palo Alto residents experience hair loss, they may have tried several non-surgical options with no success. When circumstances go beyond your control, the ARTAS robotic hair transplant system and Dr. Miguel Canales can help. Dr. Canales is a highly skilled and respected hair transplant surgeon located in Foster City. And he not only uses the ground-breaking hair loss robot, but was part of the team who helped design its capabilities, such as;

• Create a detailed 3D map of the patients’ scalps for the doctor to thoroughly review.
• Pinpoint areas where the best hair follicles can be extracted (called FUE, or follicular unit extraction).
• Provide suggested patterns of FUT (follicular unit transplantation) that gives the hairline a more natural appearance.
• Conducts very precise moments in the FUE, FUT process so the scalp does not end up with ‘thin spots’ in places.

The ARTAS Robotic hair transplant system is a fantastic tool for Palo Alto residents who have experienced hair loss. But it requires the oversight and artistry of a best-in-class hair transplant surgeon. Dr. Canales is always the one in charge of the procedure. His knowledge and experience offers each patient the unique attention they need to achieve their best outcomes.
