Crescent Med has developed a special headband that can record a surgical scene so that it can be shared in real-time in excellent fidelity, and in 3D, with others. The device has two cameras that are used to give the viewer, wearing special glasses and a matching monitor, the 3D effect. Called Crescent Vision, it can capture and share a unique and complete first-person perspective. The footage can be watched on a desktop, tablet, smartphone or VR glasses to experience stereoscopic 3D. The end result could be used to document crucial steps during surgery for evaluation and confirmation post-surgery. Additionally, the system is described as a great educational tool, with Crescent Vision supporting a two-way audio connection between expert and trainee.

Quotes 💬

“
Healthcare innovation is most efficient when technologists work together with medical professionals because then we can share each other's expertise. The 'Crescent Vision' is a great example of this. We actively participated in the development phase and tested the system extensively. For example, the device causes no distraction during surgery, remains comfortable for hours and produces accurate images, both in detail and in overview. This allows a supervisor to look in from outside the operating room and give live advice. As a result, the trainee surgeon is always supported while he or she performs the procedure independently. The quality of our medical education is thus enhanced with this technological application.
