About BHS Technologies

BHS Technologies is a medical technology company founded in 2017 in Innsbruck, headquartered in Kematen in Tirol (Austria). The company develops and manufactures the RoboticScope, a robotic 3D surgical microscope that combines the features of a traditional microscope with those of a digital system. The camera is controlled via a head-mounted display using head gestures and provides surgeons with real-time 3D images, enabling ergonomic working positions and free choice of perspective. Software and hardware development are carried out in-house, complemented by a software maintenance package covering the entire product life cycle as well as remote analysis for service. The RoboticScope is a CE-marked Class 1 medical device, registered in EUDAMED and FDA-listed, and is used in hospitals in over 20 countries, primarily in ENT, plastic and neurosurgical visualization. The company holds 11 patent families with more than 50 published patents and has been awarded, among others, the German Innovation Award 2021 in Gold.
