投資先のAndromedaが$15MのシリーズAを発表しました。リードは @Standard_Cap@ycombinator@Vox_Capital も参加です🎉 「すべての患者が、世界最高の外科医の技術にアクセスできる」ことを目指す自律型AI手術ロボットを提供しています🤖🤖🤖 第一弾の適応は前立腺手術。米国だけで年間50万人以上が対象になりうる一方、習得の難易度が高く実施できる泌尿器科医が限られている術式で、そこをロボットが担います🥼 すでに44人の患者がこの製品を使った手術を受けていて、ニュージーランドとカナダでは承認取得済みです。 フィジカルAIの最も重要な応用先のひとつが手術になるのは間違いないです。 @nickdamian0 @andromedasurg チームのみんな、おめでとう!!

Announcing our $15 million Series A, led by @Standard_Cap with participation from @ycombinator, @Vox_Capital, and other notable funds and angels. This brings our total funding to $30 million. We’re building an autonomous surgery platform to give every patient access to the world’s best surgeon. It’s like a sous chef for surgery. The surgeon sets the plan and the platform executes. Surgeons have successfully treated 44 patients with our product so far. This round will fund initial launch and initial scale-up. We're cleared to launch in New Zealand and Canada, with more clearances expected soon. Surgery is a $3.7 trillion global market, and a better application for autonomy than driving. But while autonomous vehicles are already widespread on public roads, most surgical robots have very limited intelligence. That changes now. Surgery will soon become one of the most important applications of physical AI. Andromeda is ready to lead the way.
