Brief Bio
Dr. Chieh Hsiao Chen is a highly accomplished individual with impressive backgrounds in both medicine and biomedical engineering. His achievements include being selected into the prestigious Stanford-Taiwan Biomedical Program in 2012, where he was sent to Stanford University to learn about the startup culture in Silicon Valley.
In 2015, Dr. Chen established Brain Navi Biotechnology Co., Ltd. Brain Navi focuses on developing innovative navigation systems for brain surgery. The company has been recognized for its groundbreaking work, having been announced as one of the winners of the National Innovation Award in 2017, 2019, 2020, and 2021.
One of Brain Navi's most significant achievements is the development of NaoTrac, the AUTOPILOT brain surgical system. This cutting-edge technology integrates advanced sensing technologies, artificial intelligence, and robots to improve the accuracy of surgical procedures, streamline surgical procedures, and decrease the learning curve for neurosurgeons. NaoTrac has received CE mark and TFDA approval and is currently under the process of FDA approval. It is being used to help neurosurgeons every day on the front lines of healthcare.
