As a child I remember my heart breaking as Terry was first person I identified as dying from cancer. Later, at Sunnybrook Hospital, a Terry Fox grant funded my research. Since he has shaped a lifelong journey to make a difference. Thank you Terry. @TerryFoxCanada@Sunnybrook https://t.co/JhlPYVAJCJ
On June 28, 1981, at 4:35 a.m., Terry took his final breath, surrounded by the love of his family and his nation. Canadians could not believe that this strong, courageous, man would never run again. Thank you, Terry, for lighting a fire of hope that burns brighter every day.
Tremendous course today @SickKidsNews. We are seeing minimally invasive approaches to brain surgery evolve at an exciting pace. Thank you for hosting @UofTSurgery@SynaptiveMed https://t.co/PvJcGP4GEZ
Dr Gustavo Pradilla from Emory University teaching at Minimally Disruptive Subcortical Neurosurgery Course today @SickKidsNews@UofTSurgery. Largest course of its kind on record!
Incredible patient story and outcome. It is why we are so excited for the opportunity to support surgeons like Dr. Olivera and the @FHTampa team. Thank you for sharing Ken. https://t.co/8cIzQKnngl
Ken Lambert was cleaning up after Hurricane Irma when he noticed something was off. Dr. Raul Olivera and his team at @FHTampa treated Ken's brain tumor with Modus V™ and BrightMatter™ Plan. Thanks to FOX35 News for sharing his story https://t.co/A1Ibg1hzjw
This is an important step towards true precision medicine. We need to address the issue of heterogeneity of sampling to really maximize the potential. https://t.co/WtIOxMc4by
Modus V™ is in Orlando at Spine Summit 2018 this week, just an hour away from Cape Canaveral where NASA launched Canadarm2 into space. Join us at Booth 209 to see how Modus V's automation, robotics and optics are helping surgeons on Earth: https://t.co/auB9Wnn9H9
Medical innovation happens at the interface and close collaboration between clinicians and technical leadership. Will be a great session. https://t.co/DXHNtoWt5P
Thanks to https://t.co/fRuSJMUt2W ’s Tim Hayes for this featured interview with Cameron Piron on the future of optical point-of-care imaging in neurosurgery https://t.co/c9A7Mmq8YT #medtech#cdntech#optics
Our technology seen in this great video alongside Quantum computers, AI, autonomous cars and @SynaptiveMed BrightMatter MODUS V. Ontario is a great place to create to grow. @InvestOntario@OntInnovation@OntarioCofC
Appreciated the opportunity to host you Dr. Davidson @SydneyBrainSurg. Enjoyed the opportunity to discuss the challenges in advancing surgical care across the globe. https://t.co/h8j4qBWVqF
@SynaptiveMed@NASA@csa_asc @MDA_maxar @MethodistHosp @FHTampa @HenryFordNews@jobua_ting Thanks @SynaptiveMed for hosting me in Toronto for the past couple of days. Wonderful opportunity for me to work with the incredibly clever people you’ve assembled to change the future of Neurosurgery. Using the technology from space exploration in the OR - simply amazing!
Very excited to share this story about our partners @MDA_maxar @FHTampa @MethodistHosp@HenryFordNews and the origin of MODUSV @SynaptiveMed. https://t.co/SJaZmZ4ehj
Robotic technology originally developed for the International Space Station is finding a new home in the operating room. Drive is an automated robotic arm that tracks the movement of a surgeon’s tools and helps to expedite brain and spinal surgeries.
