About
Dr. S. Punitha is at the forefront of next-generation surgical technology, pioneering the integration of artificial intelligence, blockchain, and advanced wireless communications to create secure, reliable telesurgery systems. Her research focuses on addressing critical challenges in remote robotic surgery, particularly the vulnerabilities to cyberattacks and the need for real-time, trustworthy decision-making. Dr. Punitha’s most impactful work introduces a swarm-evoked distributed federated learning framework that significantly enhances both reliability and security in cloud-based telesurgery, mitigating multiple attack vectors—a contribution that has already garnered 11 citations since its 2025 publication. She further advances the field by proposing a blockchain- and AI-powered telesurgery system optimized for 6G communication, leveraging a Light-Gradient Boosting Machine (GBM) to ensure transparent, self-managing, and trust-based operations. By converging edge computing, IoT, and 5G/6G networks, Dr. Punitha is not only improving clinical precision and speed but also laying the groundwork for a new era of safe, remote surgical interventions. Her work represents a vital step toward making telesurgery a practical, secure reality for global healthcare.
