STAT+: FDA clears Stryker’s ‘surgical cockpit’ that uses Apple’s VR headset, Vision Pro
In this edition of STAT Health Tech: Stryker deploys Apple's VR headset Vision Pro for a surgical use case, chatbots for loneliness, and more.
Stryker announced on Tuesday that its SportSuite Vision app had been used in a successful hip arthroscopy surgery at Duke Health, marking the first surgical application of the Apple Vision Pro. The SportSuite Vision app enables surgeons to overlay digital tools, such as arthroscopic and CT imaging, directly into their view during procedures, eliminating the need for multiple surrounding displays.
This innovation is expected to streamline surgery by reducing the physical strain of constantly bending and twisting to access different screens.
