People Are Ready For Future Health Tech--But No One Wants A Robot Surgeon

As a 23-year cancer survivor who has benefitted from personalized medicine, Eric Dishman, general manager of Intel's Health Strategy & Solutions Group, knows the value of health care innovation. He's not the only one.

In a new study, Intel found that respondents of all ages around the world are ready to embrace futuristic technologies like toilet sensors, swallowable health monitors, and personalized medical treatments based on genetics. There's just one exception: robots performing surgery. Everyone is a little freaked out by that (and rightly so).

Intel's…
