Noah Medical and CEO Dr. Jian Zhang Named Finalists in Surgical Robotics Technology (SRT) Industry Awards
Next-generation robotics company and its CEO recognized separately for pioneering work, innovative new technology, and rapid progress
SAN CARLOS, Calif., May 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Medical robotics innovator Noah Medical announced today that it has been named a finalist in the prestigious Surgical Robotics Industry Awards 2024 alongside its founder and CEO Dr. Jian Zhang. This joint recognition highlights Noah Medical’s groundbreaking work in endoluminal robotics and Dr. Zhang’s visionary leadership within the industry.
Noah Medical is a finalist in the Innovative Start-up category, which honors companies under six years old that have demonstrated significant potential and introduced innovative solutions to enhance surgical procedures and patient outcomes. Dr. Zhang is a finalist in the Industry Leadership category, awarded to those who have demonstrated outstanding business or commercial success, highly effective management, and a track record as a thought leader.
Since the beginning of 2023, Noah Medical has announced $150 million in Series B funding, secured FDA clearance for The Galaxy System™, its fully image-integrated solution for robotic navigated bronchoscopy, and launched the platform to commercial and industry acclaim.
The company’s proprietary technology is transforming the early identification and diagnosis of lung cancer by making it possible for physicians to overcome traditional imaging and navigation limitations to confidently reach nodules in the outer periphery of the lung. New white paper data from partner hospitals has shown the Galaxy System’s ability to consistently achieve a diagnostic yield as high as 96% in the field, including the 75% or more that were found in the outer third of the lung.
In addition to reaching early adoption milestones faster than any other robotic platform, the technology was named a “2023 Fierce 15 Company” by Fierce MedTech and the “2023 Best Healthcare Robotics Company” in the 7th Annual MedTech Breakthrough Awards Program.
