OpenSurgery investigates the potential for advanced do-it-yourself surgical tools to plausibly support more accessible alternatives to increasingly expensive health services worldwide. Inspiration for the project came from a large number of YouTube videos in which uninsured Americans perform medical hacks for others to imitate. These videos speak about how the profit-driven medical industries are forcing certain groups of people to look for treatment outside of the official systems. Extrapolating on this phenomenon - OpenSurgery proposes a do-it-yourself robot assisted surgery system, that could theoretically be replicated and used almost anywhere at a mere fraction of the cost of commercial instruments. However trading medical compliance for easy access admittedly raises a number of ethical, psychological and legal concerns. Therefore the project is not intended as an immediate solution but rather aims to facilitate discussion about possible alternative models of healthcare.
