This robot will enable cutting edge technology to be accessible to the population and people of South Western Sydney with both a local and global impact.
When the robot is installed we will be seeking media coverage to highlight your support of research into robotics and the significant impacts it will have on our communities in South Western Sydney and beyond. Securing the Siemens Corindus Cardiac Robot, a buddy to the earlier acquisition of the Siemens Stroke Robot, will make Ingham Institute and the South Western Sydney Local Heath District (SWSLHD) the only centre in the world with a cardiac and stroke robot.

| Our team across the Ingham Institute and SWSLHD have completed protocols for the clinical trials and are finalising criteria for a parallel study that will look at the health economics of this technology.
We anticipate the first patients will be treated using this new cardiac robot fourth quarter 2022.
To understand the impact that this world-leading equipment can have, it’s important to understand the prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) for Australia and our community:
- Cardiovascular diseases cause 27% of deaths in Australia.
- Cardiovascular conditions (CVC) affect the heart and blood vessels and are a leading cause of death in Australia.
- Over 1 million Australians are living with heart disease, stroke or vascular conditions.1
- The average prevalence rate of CVD in South Western Sydney for females is 19.1% and for males is 16.7%.2
- Coronary heart disease and atrial fibrillation/flutter contribute the most to circulatory diseases’ hospitalisation burden, followed by heart failure and stroke.
- Coronary heart disease is a major cause of hospital admissions and deaths.

On behalf of everyone at Ingham Institute and the SWSLHD, we thank the community for making this world-first a reality right here in South Western Sydney. |
