Ambyon

About us

One-third of healthcare professionals’ time is consumed by logistical tasks—time that could be better spent on patient care. With staff shortages on the rise, this burden only grows.

At Ambyon, our mission is to empower healthcare professionals to focus on their true calling: caring for patients.

We take over ad-hoc transport tasks within hospitals—moving autonomously between wards, pharmacies, laboratories, and other departments. By reliably delivering essential supplies without delay, distraction, or human error, we help healthcare teams stay focused where they’re needed most.

Semantic perception core

Human cognition based, intention prediction. Trustworthy and predictable.

Intuïtive interaction

Adaptive workflow integration, Multi-purpose platform, ETA & Status communication, pleasing aesthetics & ergonomics.

Effortless integration

Zero infrastructural changes required.

First-hand experiences

We can’t build this vision alone. Thoughtful co-creation is at the heart of our approach. Over the past year, we’ve developed the full Ambyon experience through our demonstrator, working closely with healthcare professionals to gather feedback and refine our solution. This collaborative process is essential, because the impact we aim to make depends on how well we meet real-world needs.

Partnerships & Collaborations

Their expertise and commitment play a crucial role in shaping our technology and ensuring its relevance in the healthcare environment.

In addition to these valued partnerships, we’ve established a Frontrunners Consortium—a select group of pioneering healthcare institutions that are the first to co-create, develop, test & deploy Ambyon in real-world settings.

Projects

Shaping the future of healthcare robotics together!

CareBOTS

Innovative healthcare robotics

Ambyon is a partner in the CareBOTS project. This project focuses on the development and application of robotics solutions in healthcare. CareBOTS, therefore, lays the foundation for a growing community around medical and healthcare robotics in the Netherlands. The project works on reducing workload for healthcare professionals and improving efficiency, while also aiming to strengthen collaboration between SMEs, knowledge institutions, and healthcare providers.

By connecting innovation, research, and real-world care practice, CareBOTS contributes to the development of a future-proof healthcare sector.

The project is made possible by the European Regional Development Fund (Europees Fonds voor Regionale Ontwikkeling (EFRO)), the government and the Province of North Brabant through the OPZuid 2021–2027 program.

Project partners:

NL Robotics, TU/e, Erasmus MC, Vectioneer, Ambee, LINseq, Radboudumc, Avans Hogeschool, Syntric Medical, HAN, SonicPrecision, TNO

ZorgBots

Innovative healthcare robotics

Ambyon is participating in the ZorgBots project. This project focuses on accelerating the adoption of robotics in healthcare by exploring practical applications and validating their value in real-world settings. ZorgBots focuses on market research and early-stage prototypes, to show the impact robotics can have on the daily practice of healthcare professionals and patients.

By bringing together healthcare providers and innovation partners, this project lays the groundwork for the further development and implementation of healthcare robotics in the Netherlands.

This project started in 2022 and is made possible through the OPZuid 2021–2027 program.

Project partners:

Venamics, TNO, TU/e and Starnus
