AQrate robotic system for spine surgery

"KB Medical was founded as a spin-off company from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Lausanne (EPFL). The initial phase of development was conducted in Virtual Reality and Active Interfaces (VRAI) research group lead by Dr. Charles Baur within the Laboratory of Robotic Systems (LSRO) lead by prof. Reymond Clavel. The robotic prototype for research was called Neuroglide.

The AQrate robotic system being developed by KB Medical consists of mobile robotic system, linked with an optical tracking system, which guides the surgeon through the various stages of the surgery.
The system’s reliability and ease of use does not disrupt the work flow, nor the standard procedure steps and integrates seamlessly into existing operating rooms. The robotic concept was validated with leading surgeons worldwide, who confirmed the top advantages of the system:
  • Possible elimination of the fluoroscopy and reduction of radiation received intra-operatively by surgeons and their team, and patient
  • Consistency and predictability in screws placement with a high precision
For patients it will mean improvement in the quality of life by potential prevention of complications, possible faster recovery time and reduction or elimination of returning pain."

The company started with €4 million VC funding, they received the Venture 2012 prize, and CTI certification.

To whom it may concern,

I am responsible for marketing within KB Medical SA and I see that you recently published about our AQrate Robotic Assistance System. You do use our trademark name but you show old prototype of the research project at EPFL, not actual system KB Medical is building.
This is misleading and we would prefer if you could have contactted us before placing old information that may damage our company.
Thank you.

I have long felt a special connection with herbal medicine. First, it's natural, Charlie attended the same small college in Southern California - Claremont Men's College - although he dropped out of school to enroll in the Julliard School of Performing Arts in New York. York. Had he been to Claremont, he would have been senior the year I started there; I often thought that was the reason he was gone when he discovered that I had herpes. So, my life was lonely, all day, I could not stand the pain of the outbreak, and then Tasha introduced me to Dr. Itua who uses her herbal medicines to cure her two weeks of consumption. I place an order for him and he hands it to my post office, then I pick it up and use it for two weeks. All my wound is completely healed no more epidemic. I tell you honestly that this man is a great man, I trust him Herbal medicine so much that I share this to show my gratitude and also to let sick people know that there is hope with Dr. Itua.

Make me a promise Bianca, my mother said. "Promise me you won't put me in a home or make me live with one of your sisters". It was a joke at the time when my mom was just starting to forget things. 06/08/2019 was the hardest day of my life. Watching my mom talk to herself, packing her things 2-3 times a day, saying she has to go home. It was heartbreaking. I broke down and cried with her a few times and then I realized how hard it must be on my dad too. He can't leave the house, he has to convince her that she lives in their house. I came to the decision to quit my job. My dad needs help. I live 7 hours away but instead of visiting my parents, I'll be visiting my husband. My mom has always been there for me and been my best friend so I want to be there for her. I keep telling myself that I can snap her out of it. I got her numerous medications including DONEPEZIL and MEMANTINE instead of helping her, they almost destroyed her due to the side effects. As I was reading more about Dementia on the internet, I met with some comments of people testifying about Dr. Rohan and his BRONGEE HERBAL SUPPLEMENTS that it works for Alzheimer's and Dementia. I contacted the doctor immediately and explained my mother's condition to him, he assured me that my mom will be fine and her memory will come back to normal. I ordered his Herbal Supplements and it was delivered to me here in Canada by DHL courier company in less than a week with instructions on how to use them attached in the package. After 3 weeks of using these herbs, we began to see improvement, after 6 months my mom was better, and it's been 2 years now and my mom is completely free from this horrible disease called dementia. In case your loved one is suffering from Alzheimer's/Dementia I will advise you to use BRONGEE HERBAL SUPPLEMENTS it may also help you. You can contact Dr. Rohan via email; dr.rohanronjohn@gmail.com and Whatsapp; +393512146722 to get yours.
