Vilnius, Lithuania – The Lithuanian medical technology company Sentante is working to revolutionize the treatment of strokes,
This is achieved through the development of an innovative robotic system aimed at expanding access to life-saving care.
Especially in remote areas that lack specialized neurologists.
This project is part of global efforts to address the significant gap in patients’ access to rapid treatment.
It is the most important factor in saving lives and reducing permanent disabilities.
He underwent important practical tests
The new system developed by Sentante has undergone important practical tests through remote surgery trials.
It was led by Dr. Iris Grunwald, one of the foremost specialists in neurointerventions.
Grunwald was able to simulate stroke treatment procedures using a robot.
While it was hundreds of kilometers away from the location of the device,
This proved that highly precise interventions could be carried out without the need for the doctor to be inside the operating room itself.
Innovation changes the rules of the game
The company asserts that this innovation could be a game-changer,
as it could provide urgent care for patients in rural or remote areas.
The shortage of qualified doctors leads to high rates of death
and disability resulting from stroke.
The system also aims to speed up medical response time.
This is achieved by linking small hospitals to advanced centers of expertise capable of immediate intervention through remote robotic surgery.
Broader clinical trials
Sentante believes that employing robots in this field could reduce gaps between countries.
Countries with limited resources and advanced healthcare infrastructure,
She explained that the next steps will include broader clinical trials,
This is in preparation for obtaining regulatory approvals and starting to market the system commercially in the coming years.
Integrating artificial intelligence and robotics
The project reflects a growing global trend towards integrating artificial intelligence and robotics into the healthcare sector.
This ensures faster and more accurate access to critical treatments.
Especially in cases of stroke where “time means brain”.
