LiveData, Titan Medical Ink Six-Year Pact

Toronto, Ontario-based Titan Medical Inc. has signed a six-year development and licensing agreement with Cambridge, MA-based LiveData, Inc.

Live Data is a developer of real-time data integration and display technology. Under the terms of the agreement, Titan Medical will have an exclusive, worldwide license for LiveData RTI Server as an integration technology for the company's Amadeus Composer robotic surgical platform.

Amadeus Composer is designed to enable surgeons to receive multiple information sources for treatment or training, and to provide the ability to easily switch between the two.

According to a company press release, Titan Medical will use the LiveData technology to enable innovative holistic displays for surgeons. A real-time data integration engine, LiveData RTI, unifies disparate systems — such as medical devices from diverse vendors, hospital information systems, in-house applications and data structures — and delivers real-time data streams to visual applications for synthesis and display.

Dr. Reiza Rayman, President of Titan Medical Inc., said, "Obviously the more information you can deliver to a surgeon intra-operatively, the better. The inclusion of LiveData's unique patient information in our surgeon console not only strengthens our patent portfolio but it also allows our surgeons to have patient critical information literally at their fingertips."
