Evaluation of the Accuracy of the eCential Robotics Robot in Spinal Surgery

Spinal surgery has evolved considerably over the years, and the introduction of advanced technologies has played a crucial role in improving clinical outcomes. The use of surgical robots, such as the eCential Robotic system, has emerged as an innovative solution for optimizing the precision and safety of procedures, particularly the placement of pedicle screws in the spine. The eCential Robotics surgical robot offers several advantages for the placement of pedicle screws in the spine. Various studies have demonstrated a significant improvement in screw accuracy and stability, reducing revision surgery rates with surgical robots. The system enables advanced preoperative planning based on three-dimensional imaging, improving understanding of the patient's specific anatomy. This study will also provide a clinical basis for the CE marking process. The objective of this prospective study is to collect data confirming safety, performance and clinical benefits of the eCential Robotics robot when used during spine and pelvic surgeries.

Addressing Social Needs to Improve Health in Adults With Multiple Chronic Conditions

The investigators will conduct a comparative effectiveness randomized clinical trial with two "active comparator" arms. The investigators will evaluate the two current, usual care strategies (higher intensity "telephonic navigation" vs. lower intensity "virtual outreach") for addressing social needs among patients with multiple chronic conditions.
