FUE innovations from ASMED

From clinical observation to measurable technology.

The ASMED innovation ecosystem connects donor assessment, surgical planning and graft handling. KE-Bot, KE-Hair Analyzer and K.E.E.P. address different stages of FUE. They can provide measurements or handling support, but a device name, patent or algorithm does not establish clinical superiority or guarantee an individual result.

01Robotic scanning

KE-Bot

A U.S.-patented robotic 360° scanning system that uses high-definition photography and 3D scalp modelling to support objective donor and recipient assessment.

  • Hair calibre, density and overall donor-capacity analysis
  • Coverage Value and extraction-site calculations
  • Pre- and post-operative measurement support

03Graft placement

K.E.E.P.

The Koray Erdogan Embedding Placer was developed for controlled graft placement into pre-made incisions while minimising forceps-related compression and unnecessary graft handling.

  • Designed for precise placement and incision direction
  • Multiple sizes and left- or right-hand configurations
  • Reusable medical-steel instrument for standard sterilisation

One connected workflow

Measure. Plan. Place.

The value of innovation is not the device alone, but how objective information supports clinical decisions throughout the procedure.

Measure

Understand the donor area

Quantify density, calibre, follicular distribution and donor capacity before deciding how much can be safely extracted.

Plan

Protect long-term coverage

Connect donor data with Coverage Value, extraction distribution and the patient’s probable future hair-loss pattern.

Place

Handle grafts with control

Use controlled placement methods intended to respect incision direction and minimise unnecessary pressure on the graft.

Evidence and limits

What these technology claims can—and cannot—show.

Measurement tools may make selected variables easier to record consistently. They do not replace diagnosis, donor-area judgment, surgical skill or long-term planning.

Patent status

A patent is not an outcome study

US patent US11928821B2 verifies an active image-processing and robotic hair-transplant assessment patent naming Koray Erdogan and Oguzhan Urhan. It describes the protected method; patent grant does not prove better patient outcomes.

Automated measurement

Validation is system-specific

A 2026 study of 259 phototrichogram images from 92 patients reported automated hair detection and width measurements, but it evaluated a separate research pipeline—not KE-Hair Analyzer. The sample was predominantly dark-pigmented hair, and agreement limits mean its results cannot be transferred automatically to another device or every patient.

Clinical responsibility

The clinician still decides

The ISHRS FUE guide describes manual, motorised and robotic tools while emphasizing physician judgment and donor preservation. Read the separate donor-area guide and FUE patient guide before interpreting a device measurement as a treatment plan.

Source and commercial disclosure

This site is affiliated with ASMED. The device descriptions above are attributed to ASMED's official materials and should not be read as independent comparative evidence. The cited 2026 research supports the general feasibility of automated hair measurement but did not test KE-Bot, KE-Hair Analyzer or K.E.E.P. No result, safety advantage or superiority is promised.
