Partnerships
The Sensei platform is built upon an open architecture design that has helped Hansen Medical to establish partnership agreements with leading medical device companies. In May 2009, Hansen entered into a joint development agreement with Siemens Healthcare to co-develop integrated products designed to help simplify complex cardiac procedures for the diagnosis and treatment of heart arrhythmias. This agreement with Siemens is the latest in a broad range of partnerships with leading companies that also include Philips Healthcare, GE Medical Systems and St. Jude Medical. In February 2011, Hansen signed a patent and technology license with Philips Healthcare allowing Phillips to develop and commercialize the non-robotic applications of Hansen Medical’s Fiber Optic Shape Sensing and Localization (FOSSL) technology.
