UK surgeons eliminate human error during surgery using Apple Vision Pro
A recent study from the United Kingdom describes the surgical use of Apple’s Vision Pro. The spatial computer was a “gamechanger,” according to the article. For those who are unaware, this is not the first instance of a situation of this kind; last month, American neurosurgeon Dr. Robert Massson utilized the headset during a surgical procedure.
“Using the headset eliminates human error…it takes away the guesswork and gives you confidence in the surgery,” Verho who donned the Vision Pro headset during the operation, explained in an interview.
The device was worn by the nurse during spinal surgery.
Syed Aftab, the surgeon, claimed that the scrub nurse’s ability to view and refer to the surgical plan in real time throughout the procedure allowed them to operate with the same level of efficiency as someone who has been with him for years.
Numerous healthcare institutions worldwide are testing the Vision Pro in various contexts. Apart from surgical support, its applications include imaging, patient monitoring, medical education and planning, therapy, and early detection of ailments.
