AUGMENTED REALITY
•Augmented reality (AR) is one of the latest
innovations taking route into various markets
which include gaming, medicine, automotive,
retail amongst others.
•New AR innovations can help enhance doctors and surgeons ability to diagnose,
treat, and perform surgery on their patients more accurately by giving them access
to real-time data and patient information faster, and more precisely than ever before.
•AR can also bring huge value to practicing medicine and education by allowing students
and trainee physicians to better visualize health issues and scenarios that they one day
will be treating.
AUGMENTED SURGERY
•Augmented reality will allow surgeons to precisely
study their patients’ anatomy by entering their MRI data
and CT scans into an AR headset and overlay specific
patient anatomy on top of their body before actually
going into surgery.
•Surgeons will be able to
visualize bones, muscles, and internal organs
without even having to cut open a body
determine exactly where to make injections
and incisions
display life-saving information for paramedics
and first responders during a medical emergency.
•EchoPixel:
EchoPixel develops medical imaging devices that enable
doctors to use CT images of a patient’s abdomen and display
a 3D model.
EchoPixel True 3D AR product uses a wide variety of current
medical image datasets to enable radiologists, cardiologists,
and more to see patient specific anatomy in an open 3D space
Four cameras track the user’s head movements, glasses turn
images into 3D visuals, and a stylus lets users move and
interact with objects in real time.
AUGMENTED SURGERY STARTUPS
•Proximie: Proximie
Proximie is a device and platform that can pair with most
computers, tablets or smartphones
connects surgeons & students, in real time, anywhere in
the world
layers digitally created content on a live video stream, to
provide “hands-on” virtual assistance
enables a remote surgeon to virtually “scrub-in”.
•AccuVein: Accuvein
40% of IVs (intravenous injections) miss the vein
on the first stick
uses augmented reality by using a handheld EyeDecide
scanner that projects over skin and shows nurses
and doctors where veins are in the patients bodies
finding a vein on the first stick is 3.5x more likely
•Augmedix:
provides a technology-enabled documentation
service for doctors and health systems
medical notes are generated in real time Augmedix
AUGMENTED DIAGNOSIS STARTUPS
•SentiAR:
digital health, software device company
developing the first 3D visualization platform
using real-time holography of the patient's
anatomy and catheter location
•Atheer:
integrates hand-tracking and gesture control
with their see-through display
enable users to view critical work information
right in their field-of-view
brings life-saving information into doctors field
of vision
•Meta:
can be used for a variety of different purposes,
including in the healthcare industry to assist
doctors and surgeons with patient information
AUGMENTED PRACTICE
•Simulation:
to simulate patient and surgical encounters for students to make all of their mistakes
on AR rather than in a dissection lab or worse, in a real-life procedure.
•Real-time:
allows medical professionals to continuously observe and give feedback to students
during their practice.
•Systematic:
doctors in training can practice on anything and everything that may come up in a
real-life medical situation rather than randomly training with what’s given in a dissection
lab
Medical students have always based medicine on theory and proven evidence, and now
AR technologies actually allow them to visualize and practice those theories during
their training.
AUGMENTED PRACTICE STARTUPS
•ImmersiveTouch:
company’s comprehensive education solutions include next
generation surgical simulators and learning management
systems
can be found in leading medical centers around the world,
including Johns Hopkins, the University of Calgary, and the
University of Chicago.
•Touch Surgery:
offers an app that allows users to practice surgery at any
place and at any time.
uses an interactive mobile surgical simulator that guides
step-by-step through every part of an operation, and every
decision that’s made along the way
disseminates the best techniques and procedures to
improve the quality of surgery worldwide.
