What You Should Know:
– eXeX, a leader in artificial intelligence-enhanced surgical logistics software, has achieved a historic milestone by successfully incorporating the Apple Vision Pro spatial computing headset in a Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty.
– The historic procedure, conducted by Dr. G. Russell Huffman, MD, MPH of Rothman Orthopaedic Institute, took place at AdventHealth Surgery Center Innovation Tower in Orlando, Florida.
Surgical Optimization Platform Integration with Apple Vision Pro
eXeX played a pivotal role by providing their software platform that seamlessly integrated with the Vision Pro headset. The eXeX platform offers significant benefits for surgical teams:
- Holographic access: Surgical technicians can view holographic information about the surgical setup, inventory, and procedural guides within the sterile field.
- Improved Efficiency: Streamlined workflow and equipment management contribute to faster surgery times and potentially better patient outcomes.
- Touch-free interaction: The software allows for interaction without compromising sterility.
A key challenge overcome in 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, integrating seamlessly under the hood and enabling the scrub technician to utilize the eXeX software effectively.
Impact
This successful surgery sets a new benchmark for technological innovation in surgery. It demonstrates the potential of AI and spatial computing to improve surgical efficiency, accuracy, and ultimately, patient outcomes.
“This achievement is not just a milestone for eXeX but a leap forward for the entire medical industry. Our successful use of the AppleVision Pro and the 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.
