Aeon Scientific, a spin-off from the ETH Zurich, is a medical device company, which has already delivered its first product to a clinic in Switzerland and for which CE mark is expected by June 2015. The patented technology allows, through the use of magnetic fields generated by electromagnets, to remotely control various interventional instruments (guide wires, bronchoscopes, etc.) in patients with great precision, thus reducing invasiveness and maximizing efficacy, safety and efficiency. The first application is for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias through catheter ablation, but the goal is to turn the system into a platform product shared between multiple departments of a hospital, i.e. to achieve a similar evolvement as it happened with for example CT scanners in the past.
