This is a conversation that would be best be had with researchers who are already well immersed in the fields relating to remote and automated medical procedures. It's a vibrant area of research that has a fairly low degree of public awareness because of how many different disciplines are required to interact at an incredibly high level of fidelity and reliability under the extremely unpredictable environment of the human body.

Groups like the Scientific Computing and Imaging Lab at the University of Utah (with whom I have no affiliation but I have followed their work for decades) have been working in partnership with similar labs around the world for years to pioneer the types of technology you'd like to support and explore. By far, your best bet is to start understanding who the active research centers are, begin to learn the types of problem-solving resources that exist and the types of challenges that are specific to your medical domain, and find the areas within the vast array of resources that will inspire and motivate you through the rest of your journey.

I say all this not to discourage you, rather to encourage you to prepare appropriately for the mountain you're looking to climb. The foundations for this type of work have grown steadily for five decades, so you have a strong, resilient terrain upon which to build a legacy.
