MRI-guided DBS
robotic system

Industrial design for an MRI-guided deep brain stimulation robotic platform focused on surgical precision, workflow clarity, and trust in high-stress clinical environments.

Overview

Deep brain stimulation can help manage symptoms of Parkinson's disease and other neurological conditions. Implanting the electrodes is a precise, time-intensive procedure that depends on repeated checks to confirm placement.

The team reworked the procedure around an automated robotic system designed to support a safer and more efficient implantation workflow for clinicians and patients.
