Microbot Medical and Corewell Health Forge Collaboration to Establish the LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System for Telerobotic
December 14 2023 - 8:15AM
Microbot Medical Inc. (Nasdaq: MBOT), developer of the innovative
LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System, today announced it
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 centers
by utilizing the LIBERTY Endovascular Robotic Surgical 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, M.D., an expert in interventional cardiology.
Corewell Health is a not-for-profit health
system that provides health care and coverage with a team of
60,000+ — including more than 11,500 physicians and advanced
practice providers and more than 15,000 nurses, providing care and
services in 21 hospitals, 300+ outpatient locations and several
post-acute facilities.
“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 Dr. Madder, Section Chief, Interventional Cardiology and
Director, Cardiac Cath Lab at Corewell Health in Grand Rapids,
Michigan.
"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. "We continue to
demonstrate that the interest shown by leading medical centers in
our LIBERTY System is a testament to its potential impact in the
endovascular interventional space.”
