Fast Five by MassDevice · U.S. hospital begins pediatric program with Asensus surgical robot, Philips to repurchase shares

Tivic Health’s successful pricing of a $2.1 million offering reflects investor confidence in the company’s innovative medical device solutions. The offering comes just days after the company closed another $1.8 million offering of common stock. Fast Five hosts Sean Whooley and Danielle Kirsh discuss what the offer includes and when it will close.

The collaboration between Glaukos and Radius XR signifies the growing adoption of wearable diagnostics in ophthalmology, aiming to improve disease monitoring and personalized patient care. Hear more about the wearable diagnostic platform and the terms of the collaboration agreement.

IR-MED recently announced positive interim results from a clinical study of its PressureSafe noninvasive, handheld optical monitoring device. Whooley gives an inside look at some of the key findings of the study, as well as what the device does.

Philips initiated a repurchasing program to cover certain obligations arising from long-term incentive plans. Learn about how much money is involved in the program and the timelines associated with it.

The adoption of the Asensus surgical robot platform by a leading U.S. hospital for pediatric procedures showcases the expanding application of robotic-assisted surgery in specialized areas of medicine. Kirsh and Whooley discuss the surgical robotic platform and what makes it compatible with pediatric patients.
