Brain Navi Biotechnology, a Taiwan-based startup that creates navigation robots, has secured a CE mark for its robotic-assisted surgical robot for brain surgery.
Founded in 2015, Brain Navi mainly designs and develops medical devices that can assist surgeons during medico-surgical interventions.
One of its products, the NaoTrac, is equipped with a high-precision navigation system called Surface Mapping Auto-Registration Technology or SMART. The platform combines machine vision, robotic technology, and algorithms to achieve real-time imaging, precise surgery, and minimally invasive outcomes during surgery. It allows the robotic technology to recognise surgical instruments within seconds and to conduct patient registration through a non-contact machine vision process.
Brain Navi mentioned that it is in the process of submitting requirements for a US Food and Drugs Administration clearance. Meanwhile, Brain Navi has recently partnered with the Chenggong University of Taiwan for a liver ablation navigation project where its SMART platform is going to be applied for early cancer treatment.
