AR-Tho

Problem

In surgery, high proficiency in surgical techniques is necessary for successful outcomes. However, instructor surgeons and residents are facing increasingly limited time for feedback and training due to increasing patient cases and complex procedures.

Approach

Team AR-Tho interviewed 12 orthopaedic surgeons, residents, and AR experts to better understand the problem at hand. They then conducted 9 different rounds of usability studies across end users and stakeholders.

Solution

The team used Microsoft HoloLens 2 to overlay virtual anatomy onto physical silicone and 3D printed models, allowing doctors to practice prodcedures repeatedly with no risk to patients.
