We are excited to share the successful completion of multiple remote robotic-assisted procedures using the Sovato Platform. The demonstration included seven surgeons across multiple specialties performing surgery over a 500-mile distance between Lincoln, NE, and Chicago, IL. The shared confidence felt by the surgeons in performing a remote robotic surgery was at the core of the results. As Francesco Bianco, MD, FACS. put it, "I could not tell the difference between doing surgery in my operating room or in an operating room that was 500 miles away." Thank you to Virtual Incision for your ongoing partnership and the use of the MIRA Surgical System for making these preclinical tests a success. We are just getting started! #Telesurgery #RemoteSurgery #RoboticSurgery #Innovation

We are proud to announce the results of a new study conducted in collaboration with Merck that showed our Study Designer Tool, when applied to #pharma clinical trial protocol development, made it easy to visualize, quantify and recommend trial improvements. Our Study Designer Tool compared a lean design approach, which starts from a “ground zero” schedule of assessments before adding changes, to the traditional copy-and-paste method, which uses a past, complete schedule of assessments. The Tool showed that for certain #clinicaltrials, when using lean design, there would be less burden to study participants, trial sites and staff, a reduction in overall costs, and a shorter trial. Said Our CEO Scott Chetham: “This study demonstrates that when immediate, measurable feedback is generated by a patient-centric, digital tool, it can reduce the cost, time and burden of conducting clinical studies. This empowers clinical teams to focus on what matters and make smart, strategic decisions to improve their trial design and the overall experience for patients.” Link to today’s press release: https://shorturl.at/IWi3e
