On 27 March, during the live surgical days in Ghent, Mantyx’s surgical co‑pilot was showcased in a live robotic procedure at AZOR Hospital in Aalst. The operation was assisted by a voice‑controlled AI co‑pilot, while experts simultaneously followed the case from a surgical AI conference in Ghent. The VRT news team of the national broadcaster covered this milestone.
Mantyx powers this new way of working: a surgical co‑pilot that understands the procedure in real time, recognises critical anatomy and phases, and automatically brings the right imaging and information to the surgeon without leaving the console. It is an assistant – not a replacement – designed to reduce cognitive load for surgeons and enable more predictable, efficient operating rooms.
