Galen Robotics is developing a single-platform solution, a Robotic ENT Microsurgical System (REMS) called Galen ES, to aid surgeons across several disciplines with minimal disturbance to existing workflows.

TF Massif are involved with the development of Large Area Thin Film Circuits & Assemblies. They currently have capabilities and are producing flexible circuits 50in x 144in and 60in circuits early next year.

Diagnosing CVD is the first step in patients' road to recovery. It is imperative to detect the disease early in order to administer treatment while it is still treatable. In addition, preventing the disease altogether is becoming more important in healthcare. The main approaches for detecting CVD are currently in vitro diagnostics (IVD) at point-of-care (POC) and the use artificial intelligence (AI) in cardiovascular imaging.
