Project description
Advanced robotics for optimised orthopaedic surgery
The aging of the population has increased the demand for orthopaedic surgery. However, orthopaedic surgical techniques have remained unchanged for decades, resulting in procedures without technological assistance in 95 % of cases. Surgical procedures depend on the experience of the surgeon and are cumbersome and costly. Moreover, conventional instrumentation prevents data collection from the operating room (OR). The EIC-funded Ganymed project proposes the first compact, ergonomic, intuitive, and cost-effective robotic device, which supports surgeons to perform more precise and safer joint-replacement procedures. The robot introduces computer vision-driven intelligence and perception into the OR, allowing contactless localisation of the patient’s anatomy and opening the way for a data-driven OR.
Objective
Driven by a growing and aging population, demand for orthopaedic surgery is rapidly increasing. Orthopaedic surgical techniques, however, have not changed in decades and 95% of procedures are performed without technological assistance. This means that the length and outcome of a procedure is entirely dependent on the experience of the surgeon. Surgical procedures are cumbersome and costly, with conventional instrumentation providing no means to collect data from the operating room (OR) to optimise procedures or facilitate patient-specific surgical planning.
Ganymed is re-tooling orthopaedics with the next generation of surgical robotics. Our product is the first compact, ergonomic, intuitive, and cost-effective device, supporting surgeons to perform more precise and safer joint-replacement procedures. The robot introduces computer vision-driven intelligence and perception into the OR, enabling contactless localisation of the patients anatomy and paving the way for a data-driven OR.

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
