What you should know:
– EXEXleader in surgical logistics software enhanced by artificial intelligence, has reached a historic milestone by successfully integrating the Apple Vision Pro space computing headset in reverse total shoulder arthroplasty.
– The historic procedure, led by Dr. G. Russell Huffman, MD, MPH of the Rothman Orthopedic Institute, took place at AdventHealth Surgery Center Innovation Tower in Orlando, Florida.
Integration of the surgical optimization platform with Apple Vision Pro
EXEX has played a pivotal role in providing its software platform seamlessly integrated into the Vision Pro headset. The eXeX platform offers significant advantages to surgical teams:
- Holographic access: Surgical technicians can view holographic information about surgical setup, inventory and procedure guides in the sterile field.
- Improved efficiency: Streamlining workflow and equipment management helps speed up surgical procedures and potentially improve patient outcomes.
- Contactless interaction: The software allows interaction without compromising sterility.
One of the main challenges overcome during this surgery was the need to work within a protective system that previously limited the use of mixed reality headsets. The Apple Vision Pro proved to be the solution, fitting seamlessly under the hood and allowing the cleaning technician to effectively use the eXeX software.
Impact
This successful surgical operation sets a new benchmark for technological innovation in surgery. It demonstrates the potential of AI and spatial computing to improve surgical efficiency, precision and ultimately patient outcomes.
“This achievement is not only a milestone for eXeX but a leap forward for the entire medical industry. Our successful use of AppleVision Pro and eXeX software in such a complex environment underscores our commitment to pushing the boundaries of what is possible in surgical procedures and patient care,” said Dr. Huffman.
