Latest Developments
Cambridge Registration Accuracy Testing - September 2023
We are very grateful to Mr Adel Helmy and the Cambridge Neurosurgery team for collaborating on testing of our AR neuro-navigation system last month. We used their established methodology for assessing registration accuracy of intracranial and external landmarks with a ROWENA head and the Medtronic StealthStation for comparison. From this we aim to have something published soon demonstrating how the HoloLens can achieve accuracy close to that of gold standard optical systems.
NHS Innovation Showcase - February 2023
We are delighted to have been invited to host a stand at the NHS Innovation Showcase run by the
Accelerated Access Colaborative in London on the 22nd of February. Tickets are available
here.
NHS Clinical Entrepreneur Programme - January 2022
We are delighted to announce that David Eagle has been accepted onto the NHS Clinical Entrepreneur Programme and look forwar
making the most of the opportunities that this offers to further the development of the Eagle Eye Neuro Navigation project.
iOS/iPhone Viewer App - April 2021
To complement the Operator HoloLens Headset software, we have developed a Smart-Phone App that, using the same surgical
plan generated from the Planner App, can be used to view the patient's anatomy in 3-dimensions. The model
can be explored by physically moving the phone around it, as well as tissue layer visibility being adjusted and 2-dimensional
source images visualised for referring back to. This can be used for discussing pathologies and treatments with patients,
for pre-operative planning, and in theatre by observers who can visualise the intracranial structures in the same way as the
operating surgeons wearing HoloLens headsets.
Improved Registration Accuracy - January 2021
Using the latest HoloLens 2 headset, initial testing using 'phantom' heads has demonstrated improvements in
registration accuracy and we can now achieve accuracy within 2mm for surface anatomy. We aim to reproduce
similar accuracy figures in clinical testing in the coming months.
Microsoft Team Integration - June 2020
Given the widespread adoption of MS Teams, support has been built into our HoloLens-based Operator software
so as to enable full augmented-reality video and audio streaming from the operating theatre to remote users.
As with any other Teams meeting, remote users can also contribute, either giving advice and support to
a junior colleague in theatre, or to ask questions if being taught.
Further developments will be posted here in due course
