The iSurgeon
The iSurgeon is a collaborative telestration device with AR that enables interactive visual guidance during MIS procedures. With a specifically designed camera, the iSurgeon captures the tutor’s hand above the surgical field and projecting it on the operating screen. It allows tutors to draw, annotate, and provide the identification of the anatomical structures, suggests instrument handling, and helps to limit mistakes. The trainee can see the tutor’s hand and/or annotations overlaid on the surgical field on the operating screen, suggesting the next step in the MIS procedure or the plain of dissection. The iSurgeon also allows remote access, so the tutor does not have to be in the same room as the trainee. This real-time communication allows for instant feedback and helps enhance decision-making and surgical precision.
