Siemens Healthineers
"We pioneer breakthroughs in healthcare. For everyone. Everywhere. Sustainably."
German medical-imaging group with ~74,000 staff now integrating its MRI scanners with AiM Medical Robotics' surgical robot.
Siemens Healthineers is a German medical technology company headquartered in Erlangen, Germany, established as an independent legal entity in 2016 when Siemens AG spun off its medical technology division; the business traces its heritage to Siemens & Halske, founded in 1847, and to the company's first medical X-ray device built in 1896. Siemens Healthineers went public on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange on March 16, 2018, with Siemens AG selling a minority stake at an IPO price of €28.00 per share while retaining majority ownership. The company employs approximately 74,000 people worldwide and serves customers in more than 70 countries, investing roughly €1.5 billion annually in research and development and holding around 24,000 technical intellectual property rights. Its core business segments include medical imaging (magnetic resonance imaging systems under the Magnetom brand, computed tomography scanners under the Somatom brand, angiography systems under the Artis brand, and molecular imaging equipment under the Biograph brand), laboratory diagnostics (including Atellica-branded automated analyzers), point-of-care testing, radiation oncology equipment, and healthcare IT and digital workflow software. The company states that an estimated five million patients globally benefit each day from its diagnostic and therapeutic technologies. In July 2026, Siemens Healthineers announced a collaboration with AiM Medical Robotics, a medical robotics startup developing a portable, MRI-compatible surgical robot designed for use inside the MRI suite and operating room, to integrate AiM's robotic surgery system with Siemens Healthineers' MRI scanners. The partnership is aimed at enabling MRI-guided robotic surgical procedures, allowing surgeons to combine real-time magnetic resonance imaging with robotic instrument positioning during operations such as neurosurgical and other image-guided interventions — extending Siemens Healthineers' imaging platform business into the robotic-assisted surgery segment through a technology-integration partnership rather than in-house robot manufacturing. This positions Siemens Healthineers as a large-scale imaging equipment manufacturer whose MRI hardware and software increasingly serve as the sensing and guidance backbone for third-party surgical robotics systems, complementing its existing diagnostic imaging, laboratory automation, and healthcare IT product lines sold to hospitals and research institutions worldwide.

AiM Medical Robotics Appoints Andrew Aberdale as President and CFO
AiM Medical Robotics has appointed Andrew Aberdale as its new president and CFO, transitioning from his role as acting CFO. The U.S.-based company is focused on developing a portable robotic surgery system, having partnered with Siemens Healthineers in May to integrate its technology with MRI scanners. Aberdale brings extensive experience in guiding early-stage startups through commercialization, having previously worked with seven startups and successfully listing two on major stock exchanges. His leadership is expected to enhance AiM's operational capabilities and accelerate the clinical and commercial deployment of its innovative robotic surgery system. Looking ahead, AiM aims to leverage Aberdale's expertise to expand its strategic partnerships and execute its commercial strategy effectively. The integration with Siemens Healthineers marks a significant milestone for AiM, as it seeks to enhance its robotic system's functionality and explore future collaborations. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
