To establish a structured roadmap and governance methodology (Chirurgie 4.0) for the safe integration of artificial intelligence and progressive autonomy into surgical environments.
Developed the Chirurgie 4.0 (C40) Maturity Model classifying operating room progression across six progressive tiers.
Synthesized current clinical applications of autonomous systems across interventional cardiology, ophthalmology, neurosurgery, and orthopedics.
Formulated a Cognitive Governance Layer framework prioritizing human oversight, explainability, auditability, and sovereign data integration.
Outlined a six-level maturity trajectory transitioning surgical settings from conventional operating suites to sovereign, federated networks of surgical world models.
Defined structural requirements for native cognitive governance to ensure human surgeons retain final clinical authority across all autonomy levels.
Identified critical economic, sovereignty, and policy milestones to guide international healthcare adoption and upcoming legislative roadmaps.
