Neurosurgeon ascends to scientific advisory board at Ocutrx
Leading Neurosurgeon Joins Ocutrx Technologies' Scientific Advisory Board
Dr. Robert Louis, a globally recognized neurosurgeon known for his pioneering work in minimally invasive and endoscopic neurosurgery, has joined Ocutrx Technologies' Scientific Advisory Board. This strategic move marks a significant step for Ocutrx as it extends its DigiLoupes technology into complex neurosurgery.
Ocutrx Technologies, a pioneer in augmented reality (AR) and 3D visualization technology, has been applying AR and virtual reality (VR) technology in neurosurgery through its flagship product, DigiLoupes™. Initially developed for orthopedic and spinal surgery, DigiLoupes™ is being advanced for use in complex neurosurgical procedures such as brain tumor resection, spinal disorder treatment, and managing neurological conditions like epilepsy and hydrocephalus.
Dr. Louis's appointment is set to guide the adaptation of DigiLoupes™ towards enhancing visualization, clarity, and precision in brain and spine surgeries. Michael Freeman, CEO/CTO and Founder of Ocutrx, stated that Dr. Louis's leadership will be invaluable in developing next-generation visualization tools.
Dr. Louis is deeply committed to training the next generation of surgeons and reimagining the operating room of tomorrow. He believes that Ocutrx's DigiLoupes technology is a paradigm shift for real-time visualization and has the potential to redefine how surgeons see, decide, and operate in some of the most delicate and high-stakes procedures. His expertise will help shape DigiLoupes for delicate procedures such as brain tumour resection, treatment of spinal disorders, and management of neurological conditions like epilepsy and hydrocephalus.
The use of AR/VR in neurosurgery is an emerging field where visualization technologies assist surgeons in navigating complex brain and spinal anatomy intraoperatively. Other companies and research institutions are developing comparable AR/VR-based surgical navigation tools aimed at improving accuracy and patient outcomes in neurosurgical procedures. However, Ocutrx’s integration of AR in DigiLoupes™ with expert clinical input from pioneers like Dr. Louis represents a notable example of this trend.
As Ocutrx continues to push the boundaries of AR and VR technology in neurosurgery, the addition of Dr. Louis to its Scientific Advisory Board is a testament to the company's commitment to advancing the field and delivering innovative solutions for complex neurosurgical procedures.
