Cornerstone Robotics, a leader in precision surgical systems, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the National Healthcare Group (NHG) and Nanyang Technological University (NTU) Singapore. This agreement, witnessed by Singapore’s Minister of Health, aims to advance robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) through clinical research, surgical education, and innovation.
The MOU outlines a focus on telesurgical education and cost-effectiveness studies to improve RAS accessibility. RAS is pivotal in minimally invasive care, enhancing surgical precision and patient recovery through advanced imaging and smart algorithms. Cornerstone Robotics’ Sentire Endoscopic Surgical Robot C1000, developed in-house, has already completed clinical trials in China and Hong Kong, receiving approval from the National Medical Products Administration.
Professor Samuel Au, CEO of Cornerstone Robotics, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration, stating, “We are honoured to collaborate with NHG Health and LKCMedicine to further advance RAS in Singapore.” The partnership aims to integrate precision engineering and insights from surgeons to make advanced surgical technology more accessible globally.
Looking forward, the collaboration will focus on driving innovation, expanding clinical impact, and cultivating surgical talent. This initiative represents a significant step towards a more accessible future for surgical care in the region and beyond.
