Semi-hollow or Fully Trabecular Topology Optimized Total Joint Replacement Implants

Unmet NeedOver 2 million joint replacement surgeries are done per year in the United States. However, the biomechanic functionality of joint implants is often limited because of the large discrepancies between the native bone of the patient and the material and structural properties of the metallic implants. In addition to the material of the implant...

Systems and Methods for Automatic Detection and Localization of Foreign Body Objects during (and after) Neurosurgery

Unmet Need· Retained foreign bodies (RFBs) are remnant materials following neurosurgery, often imperceptible cotton tufts, that can lead to neurological impairment and textilomas (Bechtold et al 2020). The incidence is estimated to be as high as 1 in 100 operations, and cost hospitals millions in healthcare costs and litigation (Whang et al....

Acoustic Frequency-Based Spectral Unmixing to Determine Tissue Constituents

Unmet Need:The demarcation between target tissue to be removed, and healthy tissue to leave intact, is critical to the success of any surgical procedure. These operations are often performed using high-resolution imaging, including MRI or CT scans. Such methods provide a priori information to clinicians; however, these methods yield limited information...

Automated Surgical Learning and Debriefing Platform

Unmet NeedA cataract is a condition denoted by the blurring of the lens of the eye that accounts for 51% of blindness and 33% of visual impairments worldwide (see WHO). The number of people in the U.S. with cataracts is expected to double from 24.4 million in 2010 to a projected 50 million in 2050 (see NIH). Surgery is the only corrective treatment...

Anatomically Precise, Ultrasound-compatible, Non-Biodegradable Body Phantom for Hydrogel Procedural Training

Unmet NeedMedical procedures are often difficult to master for novice clinicians and clinicians-in-training. In order to minimize risk to patients and still provide viable opportunities for practicing these procedures, training phantoms are often used. However, existing training phantoms are generically produced and therefore do not adequately represent...

Systems and Methods for Interactive Navigation in Mixed Reality for Surgical Procedures

Unmet NeedSurgical procedures rely on the surgeon’s estimation of an internal target using anatomical landmarks, which can lead to errors and poor surgical outcome. To address this, existing surgical navigation systems provide extra guidance for the surgeon. However, these systems lack portability and require surgeons to look at a separate monitor,...

Phase I: Partially Automated Central Venous Access Device under Real-Time Three-Dimensional Ultrasonic and Augmented Reality Guidance Systems for Vascular Neural Networks Development

Unmet NeedCentral Venous Access (CVA) is a standard procedure done more than 5 million times in the United States annually (New England Journal of Medicine, 2002). In this procedure, a long thin and hollow plastic tube called a catheter is inserted into a vein manually and guided towards the heart. Often times, CVA is aided by the use of ultrasound...

Confidence-based Techniques in Robotic Suturing

Unmet Need:Current techniques in medical robotics rely solely on surgeon-controlled robots, resulting in an error rate of as high as 22% primarily from user error. Automation has become the standard across many industries; however, due to the uncertainty and irregularities of surgical procedures, automation has not become a suitable option. Introducing...
