AiM reveals new MRI compatible robot

"AiM Medical Robotics is a neurosurgical robotics company that is working to bring high levels of precision, automation, and efficiency, to the complex environment of neurosurgery. We are developing a portable MRI compatible surgical robot for use in the MRI Suite and the Operating Room. Our mission is to improve outcomes for patients undergoing neurosurgery for Functional brain disorders (Parkinson’s, Epilepsy, etc) and cancer, while providing cost savings to hospitals by eliminating errors and reducing procedure time by up to 50%." 

"AiM Medical Robotics, a leading developer of MRI-compatible intraoperative robotics for neurosurgery, today announced the unveiling of a prototype of its industry-first robotics platform as well as the receipt of funding from the Sontag Innovation Fund, a wholly-owned venture subsidiary of The Sontag Foundation, one of the largest private funders of brain cancer research in the United States. The Sontag Innovation Fund invests in early stage and innovative technologies with the potential to drive cures and improve the quality of life or life expectancy for brain cancer patients. The investment comes subsequent to the close of AiM’s seed financing round, which was announced in March. “The prototype is a testament to the progress that our company has made so far, bringing us closer to our goal of improving outcomes for patients undergoing neurosurgery and providing cost savings to hospitals by eliminating errors and reducing procedure times,” said Bob Cathcart, CEO of AiM. “The Sontag Foundation’s commitment to fund innovative advancements towards the treatment of brain tumors perfectly aligns with AiM’s core values, and we look forward to a fruitful collaboration."
