Today, we are joined by Matthew Lapinski, co-founder and CEO of CLEE MEDICAL, who is working at the cutting edge of neurosurgical innovation, based in Geneva, Switzerland.
In this episode, we explore how Clee Medical is developing the future of brain surgery by integrating ultra-high-resolution, real-time imaging and navigation directly into the surgical process. Matthew explains the limitations of current "standard of care" navigation, which often relies on pre-operative MRIs that do not account for brain shift or real-time tissue changes, and how their novel use of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is bridging that gap.
In this conversation, we cover:
- Real-time OCT imaging versus traditional pre-operative planning,
- Addressing "brain shift" and the lack of real-time information in the OR (operating room),
- Closing the performance gap between junior and elite surgeons,
- Doubling surgical throughput for procedures like Deep Brain Stimulation,
- Clee Medical’s transition from a hardware provider to a data-driven company,
And so much more. Now let’s get into the episode.
