Providence Swedish Neuroscience Institute enhances neurosurgical planning with mixed reality collaboration
Providence Swedish Neuroscience Institute has transformed neurosurgical research and pre-operative planning through the adoption of Medivis Surgical AR software on Microsoft HoloLens 2. This approach shifts surgeons from reviewing static, 2D MRI and CT scans to interacting with detailed 3D holographic models of patient brains, enabling precise planning and simulation of surgical approaches. The team leveraged Microsoft Teams for remote collaboration, letting specialists consult and review 3D surgical scenarios together in real time across locations. This combination improved surgical planning, reduced costly expert travel, and increased the speed and quality of clinical decision-making, delivering better patient outcomes in complex brain surgeries.
