HoloLens project enables collaboration among surgeons worldwide #HoloLens #project #collaboration

Dr. Ashish Babhulkar,head of the shoulder and sports injuries department at Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital & Research Center in Pune, India, did two reverse shoulder replacement surgeries in which the ball and socket position of the shoulder joint is reversed in collaboration with Gregory and an orthopedic surgeon from the UK.

His field of view also contained a surgical manual with 3D videos for each step, which the surgeons referenced to see a device that Gregory used for shoulder surgery.

Though Babhulkar didn’t need the manual for the procedure, he saw how useful HoloLens could be as a training tool “Imagine that tomorrow in Kenya, someone’s got a HoloLens and he wants to start doing this surgery. He doesn’t have to come to India to learn it,”Babhulkar says. “We can walk him through the process without him making errors and help build his confidence.

The experience, he says, convinced him that HoloLens will be a critical tool in medicine going forward “The device is so powerful that as we progress on it, every year we are going to innovate and add novel applications to it,” he says. Dr. Babhulkar believes the HoloLens will ‘revolutionize treatment’ in remote parts of the world.
