Innovations in Women’s Health: V-NOTES, Ablation & AI in Surgery | Dr. Suyash Naval | Dawdle.live

Dr. Suyash Naval — pioneering minimally invasive gynecologic surgeon and founder of V-NOTES Academy — joins Dawdle.live to discuss the future of women’s health: natural-orifice surgery (V-NOTES), organ-sparing ablation techniques, AI-enabled EMRs, simulation/AR training, wearables, and the real hurdles for medtech adoption in India.

Watch to learn:

Why V-NOTES (scarless vaginal endoscopic surgery) matters and where it’s headed.

How ablation (RFA / microwave / HIFU) is reducing hysterectomies and improving recovery.

Practical uses of AI in EMRs, pre / intra / post-op care and surgical decision support.

How AR/VR, high-fidelity simulators and haptics are reshaping surgical training.

Wearables and “smart” women’s health devices that can enable early detection and monitoring.

Real-world adoption barriers for medtech startups and how to navigate regulation & clinician trust.

If you’re a clinician, medtech founder, hospital leader or healthcare investor — this episode is for you.
