Augmented Reality in Healthcare

Augmented IT by Netcetera has developed a showcase for the use of Augmented and Mixed Reality in the field of neurosurgery for Inselspital University Hospital Bern, Switzerland. The augmented reality approach provides better planning for surgical interventions. The app runs directly on the HoloLens, no other devices are needed. The doctor loads the patient data directly into the HoloLens from the neuro-navigation system without further manual steps. The patient is selected using a menu in the HoloLens, then the scans are loaded directly into the glasses and visualized in 3D space. Various segments such as the head, blood vessel and individual areas of the brain are marked with colors and can be displayed or hidden. Segments can be resized and moved with gestures and voice commands.
