Until now, targeted drug delivery using magnetic nanoparticles and an external magnet has only been possible under static conditions. Since in this constellation the external magnet cannot be moved during the application, it is not possible to individually target the complex target area.
To circumvent this limitation, SEON achieved its next milestone on the road to clinical translation in 2019 - the installation of a magnet robot. Although the robot weighs a stately two tons, it is able to perform its movements more delicately than the human hand. In the future, this robot-controlled magnet, which can be freely programmed and positioned, will be able to approach all regions of the body, and will also be able to dynamically change its position during treatment.
But it should not stop there. In the future, the application of artificial intelligence (AI) will make the individual treatment of patients even more efficient and effective. The vision: based on AI-supported interpretation of image data of the target region, for example an angiographic image of a tumor, an automated, reproducible and thus personalized control of the patient should be possible with the help of the robot.
