Vancouver, British Columbia-based PrecisionOS designed InVisionOS as a patient-specific planning tool that uses VR. The patented software allows surgeons to use an Oculus Quest 2 device to conduct preoperative surgical planning.
According to a news release, PrecisionOS expects InVisionOS to be made available commercially in early 2022.
Current offerings allow surgeons to view a simulated 3D image of the patient on a computer screen and carry the mental model to the operating room, Precision OS said, while its software automatically converts the patient’s computed tomography (CT) scan from any PACS system into a 3D reconstruction within seconds.
With the CT scan available through this software, surgeons can then use the Oculus Quest 2 to view, manipulate and isolate relevant anatomical areas before conducting the actual surgical procedure, PrecisionOS said.
“We focus on developing products that improve the confidence, competency and proficiency of surgeons, ultimately benefiting patient outcomes,” PrecisionOS CEO Dr. Danny Goel said in the release. “Our new InVisionOS software, which took four years to develop, allows surgeons to visualize patient-specific needs and better plan for surgery.”
Last month, NuVasive announced that it would launch a VR training module for its NuVasive X360 system developed in collaboration with PrecisionOS with aims to provide a virtual simulation of the procedural workflow to offer remote access to hands-on learning experiences with the company’s surgical techniques.
