Doug Fairbanks is the CEO, and Aaron Bernstein is the Founder and CTO of VISIE Inc., a 3D computer vision start-up in Austin, Texas, working on spatial computing for surgical enabling technologies. They are here to tell us more about its new 3D scanners set to revolutionize vision in the operating room. Computer Vision News 54 Medical Imaging in the OR formerly Advanced Scanners Doug Fairbanks CEO Aaron Bernstein Founder and CTO VISIE (formerly Advanced Scanners) has a bold mission: to make the unseen seen in surgery. Recognizing surgeons’ evolving needs, it has spotted a huge gap in the market for enabling technologies. “We saw that there’s a transition to surgeons making decisions about procedures, not on the approach or the features of the implants, but on the technology they use to do the procedure,” Doug tells us. Current technologies in the market today, such as robotic navigation and AR/VR solutions, face inherent challenges due to traditional patient registration methods that use arrays and pins, impacting both the patient and surgeon experience. “Surgeons are under greater pressure to do procedures more quickly and for less money,” Doug continues. “With 3D computer vision, we reduce the procedure time and add some precision to these devices previously unrealized in the OR.” Doug credits these improvements to Aaron’s hardware innovation, offering a transformative 3D scanning solution with a very high signal-to-noise ratio that improves the accuracy and efficiency of surgical procedures.
