Industry Findings: Hospitals in Santiago have hosted high-profile surgical demonstrations (for example, the international debut of the MARS magnetic-assisted system), which is rapidly changing clinical expectations and budget priorities: local health networks now prioritise systems that reduce OR time and length of stay, creating a premium segment for validated clinical robotics while pushing non-clinical vendors to demonstrate clear workflow ROI to gain traction beyond trial phases.
Industry Progression: A high-profile technology debut is changing clinical expectations in the region — the international rollout of Levita Magnetics’ MARS magnetic-assisted surgical platform at Luis Tisne Hospital in Santiago (Dec 2023) demonstrated a new, less-invasive approach to organ manipulation, prompting hospital networks to prioritise investments in AI-enhanced surgical systems and opening a premium segment for validated, minimally invasive platforms with immediate implications for supplier selection and training budgets.
Industry Players: Some of the providers in this sector include AGV Chile, InMotion Robotics, Transbank Automation Group, KUKA Chile, BioRobotics UChile, Swisslog Chile, and Levita Magnetic Systems etc. Chile’s logistics and clinical centres are now using robotics to stabilise throughput and clinical workflows. In 2025 a leading Santiago hospital extended its minimally invasive-robotics program with expanded clinical suites, demonstrating reduced procedure time; this pivots procurement toward vendors that combine validated clinical outcomes with long-term service and training packages.
