Neurosurgeon joins Ocutrx's scientific advisory team
In an exciting development for the field of neurosurgery, Ocutrx Technologies, a leader in augmented reality (AR) and 3D visualization technology, has announced a collaboration with Dr. Robert Louis, a renowned neurosurgeon known for his pioneering work in minimally invasive and endoscopic neurosurgical procedures.
Dr. Louis, the Director of the Skull Base and Pituitary Tumor Program at Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian in Newport Beach, California, has been appointed to Ocutrx's Scientific Advisory Board. His expertise will guide the evolution of Ocutrx's AR tools, particularly in the application of their DigiLoupes technology for complex neurosurgery.
The DigiLoupes application involves the use of AR and 3D visualization headset technology to enhance real-time surgical visualization, particularly in delicate procedures such as brain tumor resection, spinal disorder treatment, epilepsy, and hydrocephalus management. The technology aims to provide neurosurgeons with unprecedented clarity, precision, and efficiency during operations.
Dr. Louis's leadership will be invaluable in developing next-generation visualization tools for neurosurgery. Michael Freeman, CEO/CTO and Founder of Ocutrx, expressed his excitement about the collaboration, stating that Dr. Louis's expertise in minimally invasive and endoscopic neurosurgical procedures, as well as his advocacy for emerging technologies like AR/VR imaging, will be instrumental in this endeavour.
Dr. Louis is internationally recognized for his extensive publications and worldwide lectures on advanced neurosurgical techniques, AR/VR integration, and the future of digital surgery. He is also deeply committed to training the next generation of surgeons and reimagining the OR of tomorrow.
This collaboration focuses on complex neurosurgery, including brain tumour resection, treatment of spinal disorders, and management of neurological conditions like epilepsy and hydrocephalus. The goal is to pioneer surgical breakthroughs that enhance surgeons' vision in every sense, improving what they see, how they work, and the outcomes they deliver.
Ocutrx Technologies is a leader in augmented reality (AR) and 3D visualization technology for medical, enterprise, and gaming applications. The company's DigiLoupes technology is being extended from orthopedic and spinal applications into complex neurosurgery, marking a significant step forward in the integration of AR technology into the medical field.
