🚀 Flux Robotics 🧲 has been selected as one of eight healthcare startups competing for the annual Innovator Award at the Philips Innovation Awards (PHIA)! 🎉

Last week, two of our team members, .gnet and represented the Flux team at the PHIA coaching day in The Hague.

We engaged in discussions about the value proposition of our magnetic navigation technology (what is the actual benefit for surgeons, patients, and hospitals) with industry leaders from , , Equinix, and NIBC Bank.

A huge shoutout to our incredible new team members who are working hard behind the scenes to make 𝐅𝐥𝐮𝐱 𝟐 a game-changer in vascular surgery: Misgana Shewangizaw Chimsa, Nikita de Haan, Helgi Knol, and Bryan Wermelink.

Stay tuned - big things are coming! 🔥

Thanks to the amazing efforts from solidfocus, we can share a new glimpse into our latest achievement at Flux Robotics.

They've condensed 8 hours of intense animal trial footage into a 2-minute demo video. This video showcases our magnetic guidewires in action, reaching targets without any harm to blood vessels. In addition, we hear valuable feedback from surgeons Bob Geelkerken and Michel Reijnen.

Check out the video now and see why we're so proud of what we’re accomplishing.

We completed our first live animal trial in collaboration with the University of Twente, UMCG, and UMC Utrecht, building on insights from our pilot studies with a magnetic navigation system for treating vascular diseases.

It was a day of intense learning, with our magnetic guidewires successfully reaching all targets without harming the blood vessels. There were many learning moments and it remains a promising tool for surgeons of the future. This is just the beginning.

A huge thanks to vascular surgeons, Bob Geelkerken, Michel Reijnen, and Jean-Paul de Vries and the fantastic team at UMCU for their dedication to making this day possible.

My special thanks to: Steven Gosseye (Terumo Europe) | Sarthak Misra, Giulia Sereni, Max Visser, Zhi Jian Wagener, and Koen ter Heegde (University of Twente) | Fabian Stein (and the team at LipoCoat) | Thijs Berends and Jonne Schoneveld (solidfocus) | the K*KA team | K3D B.V. | MakerVerse | René van den Heuvel (K*K Wijdeven) | Lea Milovich and Albert-Jan de Croes (Novel-T) for supporting this venture.

More updates coming soon! 🚀 🙌

Our latest prototype magnetic navigation system, the Flux One, will be showcased at the upcoming TEKNOWLOGY demo market on June 27th. Our team has been hard at work perfecting this technology, and we cannot wait to show you all our progress.

This system is all about efficiency. What makes us unique is our use of a magnet to navigate the tools needed to treat your vessels. A magnet moves things around without touching them, making it less invasive, more precise, and much safer.

At the demo market, you will have the opportunity to see the system in action and interact with our team to learn more about its capabilities and potential applications. So please mark your calendars for June 27th and check out our booth at the TEKNOWLOGY demo market. We look forward to seeing you there. Here you can read which demonstrations to expect: https://www.teknowlogy.nl/nl/node/87

At the TEKNOWLOGY demo market you can see and interact with technological innovations. Here you can read which demonstrations to expect on 27 June. This list will be continuously updated with newly confirmed innovations.

As a medtech startup focused on revolutionizing the world of minimally-invasive surgeries, we at Flux Robotics are always looking for ways to share valuable information with our network. That's why we're excited to focus this week on what Bruno Silva had to say during the release of our latest video on the importance of choosing the correct human machine interface (HMI) for a medical robot.

He touches on the benefits of partnering with industrial suppliers who can provide off-the-shelf products, which can save time and resources and ensure access to reliable technology. Interested to see more? Have a look at the uncut version now on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXEOChUXkTk

We hope this video serves as a helpful resource for anyone interested in the role of HMIs in medical robotics.

Stay informed, stay safe, and happy viewing!

Congratulations to Martijn Lam, for achieving an 8 with his double master degree! Martijn has been an invaluable asset to the Surgical Robotics Lab and Flux Robotics during his time as a student at the University of Twente.

Not only did Martijn excel in his coursework, but he also brought a wealth of creative knowledge and expertise to our team. He was able to conduct important research and development work on the ergonomics and aesthetics of the Flux One system that helped to advance our company's mission of creating innovative medical technology solutions.

On behalf of everyone at Flux Robotics, we extend our heartfelt congratulations to Martijn on his impressive accomplishment. Keep up the great work!
