Revolutionizing Brain Surgeries: Skia’s Augmented Reality Device Offers Unprecedented Precision and Hope
Skia’s revolutionary Augmented Reality (AR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) fusion is transforming the landscape of neurosurgery, offering a groundbreaking solution to enhance surgical precision and streamline treatment processes. Developed by medical extended reality software developer Skia, this innovative device has already made waves in the medical community, with Dr. Manas Panigrahi of KIMS Hospital, Secunderabad, successfully performing 16 surgeries using this cutting-edge technology.
Traditionally, brain tumor surgeries have been complex and meticulous procedures, relying heavily on neuro-navigation systems for guidance. However, Skia’s markerless solution eliminates the need for traditional QR code tracking, providing surgeons with a non-invasive and intuitive approach to navigate the complexities of the brain with unprecedented accuracy.
By generating a 3D digital replica of the patient’s brain, known as a digital twin, Skia’s AI algorithms overlay this model onto the patient’s anatomy in real-time, offering surgeons detailed insights into tumor localization, size, and surrounding structures. This advanced visualization enables precise surgical planning and execution, ultimately enhancing patient safety and surgical outcomes.
Moreover, Skia’s innovative approach extends beyond neurosurgery, offering applications in various medical specialties. By scanning the patient’s body and utilizing harmless lasers to capture detailed anatomical data, Skia facilitates comprehensive preoperative assessments for conditions such as cancer, enhancing diagnostic accuracy and minimizing radiation exposure for patients.
With KIMS Hospital’s recent acquisition of the Skia Augmented Reality device, the future of surgical technology looks brighter than ever. Dr. Panigrahi’s successful integration of Skia into 16 brain surgeries exemplifies the hospital’s commitment to pioneering innovation and delivering exceptional patient care, setting a new standard for precision and efficiency in surgical practice.
As the world’s first markerless Augmented Reality device, Skia holds immense promise for the future of medicine, offering renewed hope and optimism for patients facing complex medical challenges. With its transformative impact already touching the lives of countless patients worldwide, Skia’s innovative technology is revolutionizing the field of neurosurgery and beyond.
