In a jolly adoption of technology, a surgical crew in the UK recently employed Apple’s Vision Pro to aid in a medical procedure. It wasn’t a swashbuckling surgeon who sported the eyepiece, but Suvi Verho, the lead scrub nurse at the Cromwell Hospital in London. Verho praised the Vision Pro for displaying essential information in front of her, helping her prepare for the spinal surgery and assist the surgeon by choosing tools. The surgeon, Syed Aftab, commended Verho’s performance, claiming the headset transformed her into an experienced assistant.eXeX, a company specializing in mixed reality upgrades for hospitals, developed the app used with the Vision Pro. American surgeon Dr. Robert Masson also utilized the Vision Pro for a spinal procedure, praising the undistracted workflow it provided. Apple's Vision Pro is not only aiding in spinal surgeries but also in other medical fields, with apps like myMako for joint replacement surgeries and Cinematic Reality for medical students.For those interested in medical apps, several are available for download, although some require a connection to the developer’s platform.
