Challenge
Lightpoint Medical is a medical technology company that develops innovative solutions to improve cancer surgery.
Their mission is to revolutionize cancer surgery by providing real-time, intraoperative technology to surgeons, enhancing the identification and removal of cancerous tissue with greater accuracy and precision.
To achieve this, they use their technology combined with minimally invasive surgical tools such as the DaVinci robot. DaVinci is a surgical platform that allows for minimally invasive procedures with enhanced precision and control.
However, co-visualization of imaging data is challenging and the use of external screens presents limitations, as surgeons must constantly switch their focus between the robotic console and an external screen, which breaks immersion and impairs their performance.
Solution
To address this challenge, Lightpoint Medical commissioned LuzidLab to create a VR demo showcasing their plans to enhance a surgeon’s workflow. The demo showcases a workflow that integrates real-time data generated by AI and machine learning algorithms, displayed through a user-friendly interface, with the aim of significantly improving the surgeon’s performance.
The passive VR/XR demo features stereoscopic 3D video footage recorded during an operation in Barcelona, augmented with visualizations of data generated by work at Lightpoint Medical.
The demo includes a range of interface representations, displaying the new information available to surgeons and how it will appear on their console in order to get early engagement from surgeons and collect valuable feedback.
A primary focus was to maximize the clarity and usability of the information presented, designing various layouts and visualizations for usability testing.
The VR demo was well received during user testing, and Lightpoint Medical received positive feedback, which they plan to implement into further developments in the future.
The ultimate goal is to optimize the interfaces for the production of the real device, providing surgeons with the tools they need to perform cancer surgery with enhanced accuracy and precision.
