“The ‘Live Case’ simulcast represents the rapidly growing interest in our robotic CGCI system”, said Josh Shachar, CIO of Neuro-Kinesis. “We look forward to commercializing the CGCI technology so that we can apply its many benefits to improving the lives of patients suffering from cardiac arrhythmia as well as other conditions and in other fields such as gastroenterology, neurology, and gynecology.”
