As part of its process of modernization and international expansion of its
Viable Health has conceived and is implementing an ambitious project to
development of a medical robot for hair transplant using
combination of computer vision, mechanical and automation solutions.
This project aims to promote the investigation of a robotic solution for the
capillary extraction, unique and innovative, which materializes the strategy and vision of Saúde
Feasible for the hair transplant sector using the FUE technique. the reality of
hair transplant industry based on the FUE technique is faced with serious
limitations of different natures, and to respond to these limitations and challenges, the
HAIRBOT project aims to establish a set of technologies that make the
concept of RFUE (Robotic Follicular Unit Extraction) technically feasible.
The scientific intervention areas of this project include industrial robotics, vision
artificial and computational learning, as it is expected that the project can
Contribute to:
1. Explore the RFUE concept in the technological domain related to follicular extraction
2. Define and interpret human-machine interactions.
3. Disseminate fundamental research results at conferences and
scientific journals, contributing to reinforce the quality of research
Portuguese with the scientific community
4. Reinforce internal R&D skills and assert Viable Health as a
cross-border innovation company
