Next-generation surgical robotics to set a new standard of care in orthopaedic surgery

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.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.

Keywords

Project’s keywords as indicated by the project coordinator. Not to be confused with the EuroSciVoc taxonomy (Fields of science)

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.

HORIZON-EIC-ACC-BF - HORIZON EIC Accelerator Blended Finance

Net EU contribution

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.
