Biography

Dr.Ir.ing Tim Horeman is Assistant Professor in Sustainable Surgery & Translational technology and Academic Portfolio Director (APD)-Medical technology (extension school 3.0) at the Delft University of technology. Tim has ample experience in objective assessment of surgical skills and surgical instrument functioning based on interaction force, instrument motion and other data sources. Lately, Tim is leading the development of a new generation of sustainable surgical instruments for advanced (robot)surgery that should foster the introduction of more functional instruments in less wealthy parts of the world. As it is essential to bring live saving surgical innovations in reach of our surgeons and healthcare workers, Tim became a distinguished serial Medtech Entrepreneur with a strong focus on surgical devices. As such, he is PI and (co) founder of the international operating companies GreenCycl, MediShield & ForceSense, Surge-on Medical and SuperSeton that brought multiple innovations to the worldwide market of surgical equipment.
