The global shortage of skilled healthcare workers is a long-standing challenge that requires innovative, scalable solutions. To address this, Andromeda Surgical set out to build a robotic "sous-chef" designed to augment, not replace, human surgical expertise. However, taking a complex med-tech device from an early prototype to a registered clinical tool is notoriously difficult, and hardware integration is often the bottleneck that slows the process down.

‍”We had a rather concrete set of requirements. We weren’t going to adjust our requirements to use just any sensor. ForceN had a sensor that met those requirements and helped us move at the speed we wanted to move at for our own development.” - Kartik Tiwari, Co-founder & CTO (Andromeda)

Our latest case study explores how Andromeda successfully transitioned their technology from an early prototype to a clinical tool. Discover how integrating ForceN sensors helped them significantly reduce their development timelines.
