A significant milestone has been reached! Yesterday, our robotic assistance system guidoo was used for the first time in a first-in-human study to perform a #biopsy on a #patient. The intelligent robotic assistant guidoo increases the quality and efficiency of the intervention.
The guidoo has been continuously researched and developed in various projects, in particular as part of the #ResearchCampus at the M²OLIE partners Fraunhofer IPA's Clinical Health Technologies in collaboration with BEC GmbH. The application of the robotic assistant not only represents the first use case of M²OLIE in humans, but also an innovation boost in image-guided needle application. The study marks an important step towards completing the M²OLIE research objective and underscores the #innovation potential of the collaboration between #science and #industry under one roof. The excellent research and industrialization of innovative technologies with the partners KUKA, Fraunhofer MEVIS, Siemens Healthineers was funded by the BMBF. A total of 15 patients are taking part in this pioneering study conducted in collaboration with the Clinic for Radiology and Nuclear Medicine at University Hospital Mannheim / Germany.
A big thank you to everyone who has supported and driven guidoo's development over the past years and a special thanks to our valued partners and the phenomenal team at BEC Medical!
