3D Printing vs. Augmented Reality: Comparing the physical and virtual for surgical planning
Introducing the next generation of data visualization In the field of medicine, 3D printing and augmented reality represent the next-generation of data visualization tools that enable surgeons to interact with highly-detailed, anatomically accurate renderings of patient-specific data. These tools, while different in design and output, both have the potential to improve preoperative planning, surgical training […]
5 Big Trends in O.R. Digitalization
In every area of business, digitalization has become an essential part of staying relevant. The same shift is happening in the healthcare industry, as we’ll be exploring through posts on this blog. Disruptive technologies will continue to push boundaries and change the way O.R. teams administer surgical care. A lot of trends are on the […]
Operating Room Trends 2021: Three Crucial Technologies for the Future of Surgery
When it comes to the future of surgery, those of us who work in the medical technology field often try to predict what’s to come to get ahead of the latest trends. Although medicine is highly regulated and therefore slower to adapt new technologies, in the last five to ten years we’ve seen an explosion […]
Coronavirus Pandemic: After Effects in the Operating Room
Covid-19 was first detected in December 2019 in Wuhan, China and has since been declared a worldwide pandemic. The virus and measures to prevent its spread have impacted almost every area of modern life, especially healthcare. The entire industry, most notably healthcare workers, have had to adjust. Surgeons all over the globe have had to […]
Human-Robot Interaction in the O.R.: How Surgeons and Medical Robots Can Work Together
Robotics in healthcare is not a new topic. In many hospitals today, robots can already be found monitoring patients’ vitals and alerting medical staff. They deliver supplies and medicine on the hospital floor and work to improve strength and mobility in rehab patients. Perhaps the greatest impact of medical robots, however, has been in the […]
How Hospital IT Can Influence Digital Healthcare Decision-Making
Although integration most greatly concerns hospital IT, administration often leaves this critical department out of resource allocation planning. Here are a few points HIT can use to demonstrate the value of integration and the importance of their involvement in decision-making.
What Hospital Staff Really Think about Operating Room Integration
At our most recent Digital O.R. Symposium, we welcomed 130 specialists from 19 countries all over the world and had a chance to ask them their thoughts on O.R. integration. The respondents were experts from a wide range of professions, from doctors to IT to project managers. With this data, we strove to better understand […]
The 7 Elements of Building Information Modeling (BIM) for Integrated Operating Room Construction Projects
Written in cooperation with HT Group What is Building Information Modeling? Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a process most commonly used in the construction industry. The aim of creating these models is to provide builders with all relevant information about the project in a digital format. This model is used and updated not just for […]
Mock Operating Rooms: The Real-life Blueprint that Every New Operating Room Project Needs
The old adage “Time is money” is especially true when it comes to construction projects. From skyscrapers to home improvement projects, any set back can start a chain reaction of delays. And every delay costs time, which means they can also be very expensive. The same is true for integrated operating room projects; Regardless of […]
