ImmersiveAR™ Officially Brings Precision-Enhanced Visualization
into the Operating Room
ImmersiveTouch Inc., a leading digital surgery company,
announced today that its groundbreaking augmented reality (AR)
technology platform, ImmersiveAR, has received 510(k) clearance for
clinical use in the operating room by the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA). The Chicago-based company will commence
immediate commercialization of the platform in the United
States.
ImmersiveAR is a natural extension of ImmersiveTouch’s
AI-powered suite of virtual surgical planning products and
services, which are already significantly improving CMF surgeries
by reducing the traditional pre-operative planning workflow from
seven days to just minutes. Surgeons can simulate surgical changes
to bones and plan the final aesthetic result, tailoring the
procedure to the patient’s unique anatomy, thereby minimizing
errors and complications. ImmersiveTouch technology is an accretive
solution for hospitals to generate additional reimbursement from
payors and lower their healthcare costs.
Dr. David Hirsch, MD, DDS, Senior Vice President of Dental
Medicine at Northwell Health, shared, “This virtual reality and
augmented reality imaging provides remarkably detailed images of a
patient’s anatomy, helping us foresee complications and reduce both
planning and surgical time, resulting in a safer patient experience
with fewer complications.”
“ImmersiveAR brings a new frontier in intraoperative 3D
visualization,” said Jay Banerjee, CEO of ImmersiveTouch. “The
surgical field has long relied on traditional two-dimensional
imaging technology to navigate complex patient anatomy. Our
platform introduces advanced holographic visualization to transform
how surgeons plan and perform procedures.”
ImmersiveAR allows surgeons to visualize and interact with 3D
virtual surgical plans created by ImmersiveTouch or other virtual
surgical planning providers, overlaid in an operating room
environment for a fully integrated workflow from surgical planning
to intraoperative 3D visualization. Surgeons can double-check their
planned movements and reduce the need for intraoperative trial and
error. The platform is designed for use in several surgical
procedures.
This announcement follows significant company momentum,
including strategic partnerships and a growing presence in leading
hospitals. ImmersiveTouch has served over 4,000 patients,
demonstrating its impact on the healthcare sector.
