Systems and methods for providing assistance during surgery

It's a computer system designed to assist surgeons during procedures, specifically using a thoracoscope for chest surgery. The system takes live images from inside the patient, builds a 3D model of their anatomy, and overlays critical structures onto the live view. It can also show the distance between surgical instruments and these critical areas, or display relevant CT scans alongside the live images.

Why it matters: Filed before the latest advancements in real-time AI for medical image processing and 3D anatomical reconstruction. These improvements could now make the system's core software tasks significantly more accurate and efficient.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedMedical device integration, real-time 3D modeling software.
