knowledge sharing , while reducing the costs of having to drive / fly an expert in .
• Patient-specific visualisations help surgeons plan the best possible approach to an individual ’ s surgery – for smarter , safer surgery with fewer preventable complications .
• Surgeons can practise operations as many times as they like – giving them confidence and helping them prepare for complex surgical procedures and emergencies , all without entering the operating theatre .
The future of surgery ?
While Mixed and Augmented Reality technologies are not new , they are only just beginning to impact the surgical space . As these technologies continue to advance , and more clinicians explore these holographic solutions , it is clear that mixed reality-led surgical innovation offers something new and valuable to healthcare professionals . provides clinicians with a more realistic anatomical view of a patient ’ s anatomy . Moving , rotating and expanding these holograms allows surgeons to see the organ from any angle , supporting them to develop precise surgical plans .
The benefits of using holograms for surgical preparation include :
With health systems stretched paper thin , and professionals at breaking point , we are at a turning point with healthcare delivery . However , healthtech and MedTech solutions are driving a future with better patient care . The digital and real worlds will continue to intersect , and holographic tech will play a pivotal role in informing how surgical teams better plan and prepare for operations : reducing patient risk , saving time and ultimately helping reduce colossal waiting lists . �
• One clear , shared anatomical 3D visualisation reduces ambiguity and dispute between surgeons – helping them reach a preferred approach to surgery faster and saving time and money .
• Experts from diverse medical and surgical specialities can virtually collaborate , improving medical education and
