We are an immersive reality company using augmented and virtual reality technology to enhance surgery, save lives, and avoid complications. We are using diagnostic images (MRI, CT, Xray, Ultrasound) and overlaying them over you, the patient, during surgery. This gives the surgeon a guided map of your anatomy and your pathology or injury. This shows the surgeon where to cut and, more importantly, where not to cut. Every person’s anatomy differs not just on the outside, but on the inside as well. My heart and liver are not located exactly where your heart and liver are located. The surgeon has a general idea of where your main organs and arteries are, but that’s all. This leads to complications and avoidable death. With our map they know exactly where they are going just by looking at you. This saves time in the OR, time under anaesthetic, and saves lives.

Our VR system allows the surgeon to practice performing the surgery in virtual space. My brain is pretty important to me and I’d rather a doctor performed a practice surgery in virtual space as many times as they need to in order to feel confident before they operate on me. It’s also a fantastic tool for residents and medical students.

Our technology also provides a diagnostic component that radiologists can use before you ever hear about surgery. MRI, for example, is taken in 3D space then converted into 2D and viewed in slices. It’s much better for physicians to view it in 3D where they can see the true shape and size and depth of a tumor or other pathology.

We are helping improve the efficiency and accuracy through every step of the process, from initial diagnosis to the surgical intervention.
