Earlier this month, Mazor Robotics Founder and Chief Technology Officer, Professor Moshe Shoham, was elected into the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) for contributions to robotic technology for image-guided surgery. He is revered among his peers and recipient of other similar accolades, such as the Thomas A. Edison Patent Award from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) received earlier this year.
Corindus Vascular Robotics, a leading developer of precision vascular robotics, today announced that in addition to a talk focusing on robotics in the future of the cath lab, cases submitted by users of its CorPath Vascular Robotics System have been accepted for presentation at the Cardiovascular Research Technologies (CRT) conference on February 22 – 25, 2014 in Washington, D.C.
3D Systems today announced that it recently debuted the first ever 3D printed hybrid Exoskeleton robotic suit in collaboration with EksoBionics at a Singularity University-hosted event in Budapest. Amanda Boxtel acted as the test pilot for this venture. On Feb. 27, 1992, Amanda Boxtel took a fall while skiing in Aspen, CO that culminated in a freak somersault.
Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Pulse of Telehealth 2013" report to their offering.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical Center, the nation's largest hospital devoted entirely to clinical research, has deployed TRU-D SmartUVC™, a 5-foot-5 germ-eliminating UV disinfection robot, to help protect against infection.
Ekso Bionics Holdings, Inc., a robotic exoskeleton company, today announced that it was named one of five startups poised to change MedTech forever by Medical Device & Diagnostic Industry Magazine. MD+DI 's editorial quality and reliability has won it an unparalleled degree of trust from the industry.
Robots in the cath lab are helping clear blocked arteries in patients — reducing chest pain, shortness of breath, and risks for heart attacks. The Orlando Health Heart Institute is the first in the state of Florida, to offer a robotic-assisted system for coronary angioplasty.
OMNIlife science, Inc., an established medical technology company targeting the $13 billion and rapidly growing global hip and knee replacement medical device sector, announces the successful completion of more than 3,000 total knee replacements in the United States using OMNI's surgical navigation system. The technology at the core of this system is the company's APEX Robotic Technology ("A.R.T.™").
Hansen Medical, Inc., a global leader in intravascular robotics, today announced it has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance for its smaller diameter Magellan™ 6Fr Robotic Catheter for peripheral vascular interventions.
The development of drugs to treat acute stroke or aid in stroke recovery is a multibillion-dollar endeavor that only rarely pays off in the form of government-approved pharmaceuticals. Drug companies spend years testing safety and dosage in the clinic, only to find in Phase III clinical efficacy trials that target compounds have little to no benefit. The lengthy process is inefficient, costly, and discouraging, says Hermano Igo Krebs, a principal research scientist in MIT’s Department of Mechanical Engineering.
