Talk Overview

Translational research is aimed at turning discoveries from basic science into results that advance patient treatment. The translation of technical solutions into clinical use is a complex, iterative process that involves different stages of design, development, and validation, such as the identification of unmet clinical needs, technical conception, development, verification and validation, regulatory matters, and ethics. For this reason, many promising technical developments at the interface of technology, informatics, and medicine remain research prototypes without finding their way into clinical practice. Augmented reality is a technology that is now making its breakthrough into patient care, even though it has been available for decades. In our recent work, we explain the translational process for Medical AR devices and present associated challenges and opportunities with the example of the HoloNavigation project, a research project conducted at Balgrist University Hospital which led to the world's first AR-navigated spine surgery.
