WHAT IS IT

Towards the world first assistive robotic platform for safe and efficient retina surgery procedures.

An innovative technology that integrates advanced

AI methods into a surgical robotic system with an intuitive and multi-modal user interface.

A human-centric AI that supports professionals in trustworthy hybrid decision-making with less training and lower mental fatigue.

A market-ready technology: the project aims to generate tangible and “close-to-certification" technology reaching a Technology Readiness Level of 7 (or even higher).

DISCOVER THE PROJECT

Democratizing retina surgery

GEYEDANCE technology aims at answering a big unmet socio-economic challenge, providing retina surgery for those patients that are currently treated inadequately or even not treated because of the lack of personnel.

PARTNERS

THE CONSORTIUM

Points of Strength

This is how the GEYEDANCE project will translate methods from Artificial Intelligence to the area of surgical robotics, for an advanced user support in order to reduce the mental and physical load of the surgeon.

The CE certified robot platform PSS (Preceyes Surgical System) from project partner ZEISS

A prototype for a Common-Path OCT (optical coherence tomography) system with extended measurement depth from ACMIT

AI-components developed by two EU leadinggroups ALTAIR Robotics Lab at University of Verona and ARTORG Center at University of Bern

A board of world-wide leading eye surgeons, led by University of Ferrara will provide user insight and evaluate the results
