Peter Biro
Co-Founder & CMO
Prof. Dr. Peter Biro initiated the REALITI project by formulating the demand and principle for a robotic-assisted intubation device that has the ability to recognize anatomical features of the upper airway and can steer the tracheal tube into its correct position. He is a retired Professor at the University of Zurich (UZH) involved in academic teaching. As an internationally known expert in difficult airway management, he brings valuable expertise to the project.
