Vicarious Surgical, a robotic surgery company, has begun a strategic development agreement with U.S. healthcare system Intermountain Health.
The terms of the agreement allow Vicarious Surgical access to the Intermountain Health network and direct collaboration with Intermountain’s team of experienced robotic surgeons and integrated, managed-care business. The partnership leverages Intermountain’s clinical expertise and system efficiencies to identify and evaluate drivers of adoption, implementation, and utilization of the Vicarious Surgical system.
Vicarious said the partnership, if successful, could expand minimally invasive treatment options and offer enhanced tools for the best possible surgical care.
“We’re thrilled to bring Intermountain Health into our network of partners as we move towards system finalization and regulatory submission,” Adam Sachs, CEO and co-founder of Vicarious Surgical told the press. “As a leader of efficient healthcare delivery through innovative technology, Intermountain is uniquely positioned to help shape and advance our commercial strategy, especially as we explore the differentiated visualization, sensing and data collection capabilities of the Vicarious Surgical system. We’re excited to work together with Intermountain on our common mission to drive improved clinical quality and health system efficiencies.”
“At Intermountain Health, we understand the significance of innovation that increases the value in healthcare, and we are excited to collaborate in efforts to improve patient outcomes, support efficient delivery of care, and enhance the patient and provider experience,” added Alexander L. Ramirez, MD, MBA, senior medical director, surgical specialties and digestive health at Intermountain Health. “We look forward to partnering with the Vicarious Surgical team to explore the potential of the Vicarious Surgical system in advancing minimally invasive robotic surgery that we believe could deliver significant value to patients and healthcare providers worldwide.”
