We are an immersive reality company taking augmented and virtual reality technology and enhancing surgery with it. 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 persons 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. 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 will save lives. Our VR system allows the surgeon to pre-do the surgery in virtual space. My brain is pretty import to me, and I'd rather a doctor performed a practice surgery in virtual space as many times as they need in order to feel confident BEFORE they operate on me. It's also a fantastic tool for residents and medical students. We also have 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 them to view it in 3D where they can see the true shape and size and depth of a tumour or other pathology.We are helping improve the efficiency and accuracy at every step of the process, from initial diagnoses to the surgical intervention.
