Microbot Medical, developer of the Liberty endovascular robotic surgical system, has entered into a collaboration agreement with Corewell Health.
The objective of the collaboration, which will take place in multiple phases, is to enable telerobotics between remote centres by utilising the Liberty robotic system. The agreement with Corewell Health includes the right to mutually evaluate the Liberty system for remote procedures, which will be led by Ryan Madder (Spectrum Health, Grand Rapids, USA).
“Being able to connect between remote sites, especially at rural areas, has been a passion of mine for years, and as such I’m excited about the potential this collaboration can bring to benefit many patients in the USA and across the world,” said Madder.
“We are excited for the opportunity to collaborate with Corewell Health and Dr Ryan Madder, innovators in the field of robotics and healthcare. Working together with a health system such as Corewell, which provides care and services in 21 hospitals, 300+ outpatient locations and several post-acute facilities, to enhance the telerobotic feature of the Liberty system, fits well with our mission to enable accessibility to any user, anywhere across the world for any endovascular procedure,” said Harel Gadot, chairman, president and CEO of Microbot Medical. “We continue to demonstrate that the interest shown by leading medical centres in our Liberty system is a testament to its potential impact in the endovascular interventional space.”
