  • Royal Philips will receive up to $33.7 million from the U.S. health department’s ARPA-H to develop AI-powered robotic technology for stroke procedures.
  • The project forms part of ARPA-H’s Autonomous Interventional and Robotic program.
  • Philips will work with Johns Hopkins University, Boston University and Weill Cornell Medicine on remotely supported and progressively automated endovascular procedures.

Royal Philips is entering the race to develop AI-powered robotic treatment for stroke patients, backed by up to $33.7 million from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health, or ARPA-H.

The project falls under ARPA-H’s Autonomous Interventional and Robotic program, known as AIR. Philips announced the initiative on August 26, saying it would focus on technology for remote support and the gradual automation of endovascular procedures.

Philips will collaborate with Johns Hopkins University, Boston University and Weill Cornell Medicine. The partners plan to develop systems that can assist doctors remotely while progressively automating procedures inside blood vessels.

The project is one example of the rapid changes reshaping healthcare, as startups, major corporations and digital services compete to apply artificial intelligence to medical care. The healthcare technology field now spans robotic procedures as well as services linked to electronic health records, including OpenAI’s ChatGPT integration.

We will work with Johns Hopkins University, Boston University and Weill Cornell Medicine to develop remotely supported and progressively automated endovascular procedure technology.
