Auris Health made the coveted CNBC Disruptor 50 List for 2018, making it one of the few healthcare companies to receive the honor. Each year CNBC features private companies of all types whose game-changing innovations are transforming how the world does business. Joining the ranks of Airbnb, Lyft, and SpaceX, Auris was honored for the innovative work it brings to bronchoscopic procedures with its Monarch Platform. The goal of Auris’s robotic technology is to enable more accurate diagnosis, and eventually treatment, of small and hard-to-reach nodules in the periphery of the lung.

The Monarch Platform made headlines for the first use of the technology at El Camino Hospital, located in Mountain View, California, as part of a clinical trial. El Camino’s clinical trial marks the first institution in the United States to use the Monarch Platform’s robotic technology for bronchoscopic procedures. Dr. Ganesh Krishna, the pulmonologist who performed the first case on March 30, 2018, believes the Monarch Platform marks a needed “paradigm shift” in the way physicians diagnose lung disease.

Dr. Frederic Moll, CEO of Auris Health was featured in The Wall Street Journal in an article about Auris and its innovative technologies. Dr. Moll, a serial entrepreneur and surgical robotics visionary, helped pioneer Auris’s beginnings and has pushed for medical innovation for over 30 years. He co-founded his first start-up, Endotherapeutics Corp., in the 1980s, developing products for laparoscopic or minimally invasive surgery. Gil Kliman, an investor in Restoration Robotics (another one of Dr. Moll’s ventures), said of Dr. Moll’s drive for success: “He is the one human that will never be replaced by a robot. He won’t give up on things; he can push though the inevitable naysayers.”
