ROPCA has the mission of helping patients by helping clinicians. Our tool is to develop robotic platforms for clinical applications with the goal of shorting waiting times in health care, create more precise and uniform diagnosis and to automate routine tasks. All over the world the challenge is the same: an increasing number of patients are covered by a decreasing number of specialists. ROPCA’s first product is the platform ARTHUR that is the world’s first ultrasound scanning system that the patient can use without an ultrasound specialist. ARTHUR can scan patients hands and give decision support for rheumatologists diagnosing and monitoring the disease rheumatoid arthritis. ROPCA is founded by a professor in medical robotics and one of the leading ultrasound specialists in rheumatoid arthritis, so we know the clinical challenges and the technical possibilities.
