About iotaMotion

iotaMotion, founded in 2015 by surgeons Dr. Marlan Hansen and Dr. Chris Kaufmann from the University of Iowa, is a medical technology company focused on advancing cochlear implant surgery.

The founders, with their background in otolaryngology, translated a research concept into a commercial enterprise to address the challenges in cochlear implant procedures.

The company has developed the iotaSOFT Insertion System, a robotic-assisted technology designed to control the speed and force of electrode insertion during cochlear implant surgery. This system aims to be slower and smoother than humanly possible, with the goal of preserving residual hearing and improving patient outcomes.

iotaMotion operates in the medical device market, serving surgeons and patients in the field of cochlear implants. The company's business model is based on the development and sale of these advanced surgical devices.
