Jaume Amat, CEO of Rob Surgical, will give a conference on Thursday, February 29, from 11:30 to 12:00 on the Sky Stage, Hall 8.0. Under the motto “Digital Health Programme – Universalising high-precision surgery”, we will explore our journey towards universalizing robotic surgery, making it accessible to hospitals, surgeons and patients around the world.

Currently, less than 3% of all interventions are performed with robots. Each robot installed in the world performs less than one surgery per day and only a very limited number of patients can benefit from robotic surgery. Rob Surgical’s Bitrack system aims to change this model, democratizing high-precision surgery.

We are waiting for you at 4YFN MWC Barcelona, the event that brings together the most innovative and influential start-ups on the current scene.
