Open Platform for X-Ray robotics medical imaging and surgical navigation

Objective

SURGIS aims at creating a completely new computer-assisted, integrated system to support Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS). It is based on a robotics X-ray 2D/3D imaging system. SURGIS is innovative and disruptive in two ways: a) the envisaged product itself: a novel solution that integrates formerly isolated systems providing enhanced and new functionalities, higher accuracy and significantly improved usability. Experienced users are developing it for users. And b) with regard to its technological approach and the corresponding business model: an open source environment, which will provide the ground to nurture the commercial exploitation and further development of applications by 3rd parties. It represents a platform and an ecosystem where developers and users are encouraged and facilitated to boost both the economic and clinical effect of SURGIS itself.
Once implemented SURGIS will deliver the following value propositions:
1.Robotic 5-axis C-Arm usable in 2D and 3D mode
2.Integrated Surgical navigation system with automatic continuous calibration
3.Calibrated MIS surgical tools
4)Open software platform for the development of third-part applications
A laboratory technology demonstration platform has been built and a preliminary study of existing IP has not discovered significant hurdles: we have strong reasons to believe that the final outcome will be successful despite the challenging goal.
The feasibility study of Surgis will be performed along 5 main points:
1.Interviews with 10-20 international leading surgeons(Europe/USA) to assess clinical/technical potential of project and get suggestions for improvement;
2. Assessment of the technical and contractual framework for implementing the open platform and allowing the integration of third-party application.
3.Study to evaluate the market (volume and revenue) of 3D X-Ray surgical navigation devices
4.Study to explore existing IP rights to evaluate patentable features of SURGIS
5.Consolidate all the above in a business

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
