"Integrating Isaac for Healthcare into our development pipeline represents a quantum leap for XCath's capabilities,” said James Tudor, M.D., Vice President of Artificial Intelligence at XCath. “This platform allows us to simulate thousands of surgical scenarios in the time it would take to run a single physical test, massively accelerating our AI training and robotic development cycles. The digital twin environment enables us to perfect autonomous navigation systems in a risk-free setting before deployment, compressing years of development into months. Isaac for Healthcare empowers us to transform development velocity into life-changing patient outcomes, dramatically accelerating our mission to democratize mechanical thrombectomy and reduce stroke's devastating global impact."
The World Stroke Organization estimates the condition will cost the global economy over $1 trillion by the year 2030 and the incidence of strokes has increased significantly in the last two decades. XCath’s Endovascular Robotic System is being developed to improve intracranial procedure accuracy and to improve access to mechanical thrombectomy, the most effective treatment for acute stroke, by connecting patients in remote and underserved areas with care teams at the world’s top institutions.

Last year, Vitor Mendes Pereira, M.D., successfully performed a first-of-its-kind telerobotic procedure demonstration between a control station in Abu Dhabi and a simulated remote patient in South Korea. The mechanical thrombectomy marked a critical milestone in the development of telerobotic intervention. It also showed the feasibility of a hub-and-spoke model, where a physician in a “hub” location can operate on patients at various “spoke” locations around the world.
