Dr. Christoff Heunis is a biomedical and mechatronics engineer (PhD, University of Twente) and the founder & CEO of Flux Robotics, a University of Twente spin-off building a magnetically guided robotic system that steers a guidewire through the body from outside the patient. It started with a single phone call while he was an engineering student in South Africa — a best friend's mother had a stroke, and there were only a handful of surgeons on an entire continent who could treat it. In this conversation, Dr. Christoff Heunis reveals: ⬛ Why one phone call — a friend's mother's stroke, with "three neurovascular surgeons" for the whole African continent — set the course of his life ⬛ How an external robotic magnet can pull a guidewire around the tightest, most complex angles a surgeon's hands can't reach ⬛ Why surgeons say they don't want to be replaced — yet "do want to press a button and then leave, and when I come back, the surgery is over" ⬛ The first real-world use case: misaligned fenestrations, CTOs and the angles no combination of guide catheters can make ⬛ How Flux got the FDA to confirm a 510(k) pathway — and why the predicate they found changes everything ⬛ What Stereotaxis acquiring Robocath signals about the commercial future of magnetic surgery ⬛ How he raised €3.2M in non-dilutive funding before giving up a single point of equity Timestamps: 00:00 Intro — the "Afrikaans Slim Shady" 04:58 The stroke that started it all 06:29 Why a PhD in surgical robotics at Twente 11:17 The surgeon's real bottleneck: navigation & radiation 15:42 How the magnetic guidewire actually works 20:02 "Press a button and the surgery is over" 24:58 The first use case: misaligned fenestrations 30:49 A carotid crossing, step by step 34:37 The surgeon's new role: "PAD coach" 36:00 Company update & new CMO Dr. Rob Beasley 37:15 The 510(k) pathway, explained 40:31 Stereotaxis buys Robocath 50:04 Raising €3.2M non-dilutive 59:24 Live: the Afrikaans rap "Soms" Follow Dr. Christoff Heunis: LinkedIn — https://www.linkedin.com/in/christoff-heunis/ Flux Robotics — https://fluxrobots.com Resources mentioned in this episode: 🏢 Flux Robotics — https://fluxrobots.com 🏢 Stereotaxis — https://www.stereotaxis.com 🔗 Stereotaxis acquires Robocath (announcement) — https://ir.stereotaxis.com/news-releases/news-release-details/stereotaxis-announces-definitive-agreement-acquire-robocath 🏢 Robocath — https://www.robocath.com/ 🏢 Intuitive / da Vinci Surgical System — https://www.intuitive.com 🎓 University of Twente — https://www.utwente.nl/en/ 🎓 Stellenbosch University — https://www.sun.ac.za/english 🏛 RVO — Netherlands Enterprise Agency — https://www.rvo.nl 🏛 NWO — Dutch Research Council — https://www.nwo.nl/en 🏛 Interreg (EU cross-border funding) — https://www.interreg.eu 💸 NextGen Ventures — https://www.nextgenventures.nl 💸 Future Tech Ventures — https://futuretechventures.nl 👤 Dr. Rob Beasley — CMO, Flux Robotics — https://www.linkedin.com/in/robert-beasley-138124145/ 👤 David Fischel — Chairman & CEO, Stereotaxis — https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidfischel/ 🎵 Eminem — "Lose Yourself" — https://open.spotify.com/track/5Z01UMMf7V1o0MzF86s6WJ 🎵 Coolio — "Gangsta's Paradise" — https://open.spotify.com/track/1DIXPcTDzTj8ZMHt3PDt8p 🎵 "Soms" — Christoff's Afrikaans rap single, with his brother Daniel (name only) Life of Flow is hosted by Dr. Lucas Ferrer & Dr. Miguel Montero-Baker. 🌐 Website: https://lifeofflowpodcast.com ▶ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LifeofFlowPodcast 🎧 Listen: Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/5GMv47SJ0ePxbjtIb1GZ5U · Apple https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/life-of-flow/id1705596604 📩 Partner with the show: info@lifeofflowpodcast.com Connect with the hosts: Dr. Lucas Ferrer — [Lucas LinkedIn] Dr. Miguel Montero-Baker — https://www.linkedin.com/in/miguel-montero-baker-a44354214/ Follow the show: Instagram https://www.instagram.com/lifeofflowpodcast/ · X https://x.com/vascularpodcast · LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/lifeofflow

Medical training prepares physicians to care for patients, but not to manage their careers. Contracts, credentialing, taxes, negotiation, retirement planning. These decisions shape a physician's future, yet most of us don't learn about them until after signing our first job. The business side of medicine isn't optional. Hear more from Dr. Shahla Moghbel and Dr. Santoshi Billakota in our latest episode. Watch it now on our channel.
How do you build wealth? - by earning more, or by learning where your money creates the most value? For doctors, that means moving beyond saving income and toward investing in skills, businesses, and opportunities they understand and can influence. Dr. Shahla Moghbel and Dr. Santoshi Billakota share how changing the way they thought about money became part of building more independent careers. Full episode available. Check out Life Of Flow's channel now.
Freedom is easy to overlook until you've experienced it. Once you have control over your time, your career expands in ways a traditional job can't. New opportunities come up because you now have the time and space to pursue them. In this week's episode, Dr. Shahla Moghbel and Dr. Santoshi Billakota share why independence changed far more than the way they practice medicine.
