“We started with making an impact with ANT surgical robotics to optimise procedures in medical industry”

Nothing short of amazing, APAC Medtech Innovator is probably the 1st Medtech focus challenge available in the region. The platform was a great opportunity for it being Medtech focused and witnessed by professionals in the industry who knows the market, problem statement and clinical work well enough. Emerging as the grand winner provided great validation to the vision and hard work my team has put in. The prize money aside, the award is a recognition and has so far attracted quite a number of potential industry partnership.

Can you share the impulse which inspired the innovation of Automated Needle Targeting (ANT) surgical robotics?
