Holo Surgical Inc. is developing Synthetic Vision for Surgeons™ - a technology based on augmented reality and artificial intelligence(ARAI™) to support surgical navigation. The company has developed a propriety hardware display system, which meets the needs of the surgeon and the operating room environment, allows surgeons to virtually “see” normally invisible parts of the body, and perform surgery using minimally invasive techniques.
The ARAI™ surgical navigation system provides Image Overlay Technology allowing surgeons to see ALL internal anatomy in 3D without the need to make an incision. This provides an advantage by allowing the surgeon to identify key anatomic landmarks before starting the operation. The system adapts to the surgeon in real-time, allowing for natural hand-eye coordination meshing with their existing surgical techniques thus providing a shallow learning curve.
The company has filed multiple patents for various elements of the technology. The ARAI system was developed by spine surgeon Dr. Kris Siemionow, MD and augmented reality expert Cristian Luciano, PhD along with a multi-specialty team of software and hardware engineers. The founders were inspired to address problems of current surgical navigation and robotic systems. The company is located in Chicago with R&D teams in United States and Europe.
