NDR Medical Technology Pte. Ltd, is a medtech start-up that pioneered the world’s first robotics system known as Automated Needle Targeting (ANT) that combines Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Medical Image Processing to assist surgeons during minimally invasive surgery. The system helps surgeons visualise the 3D location of the target lesion in the patient’s body. By combining the precision adjustment and guiding technology of ANT with the surgeon’s skill and dexterity, surgeons are now able to achieve bull’s eye for needle alignment and positioning to remove lesions; resulting in an overall improvement to the clinical outcome, reduces radiation exposure and overall operation time. Clinical trial is now underway and commercial application is expected to launch next year. Over time, ANT will ensure surgeons of all experiences to be able to perform complex and high-risk surgery with ease. Patients can now look forward to faster recovery times and lower risks of unwanted side effects.
NDR Medical Technology became an IEEE N3XT® Star at Switch 2018. Read about it here.
