✧ The Problem ✧

Creating novel, AI-driven concepts for the Healthcare Robotics Summit

Creating novel, AI-driven concepts for the Healthcare Robotics Summit
Part of the 2024 HFES International Symposium in Chicago, Illinois, the Robotics Summit gathered experts for lectures and talks.

To ensure that the team could show illustrations without compromising previous client NDA's, we created new graphics that improved upon and expanded established domain knowledge.
✧ The Ideation ✧

Current methods of Robotic intervention cause significant inefficiency, leading surgeons to bypass using them, despite their increased accuracy

The team explored a variety of concepts that would enable surgeons to make more accurate pedicle placements without hindering their workflow or process.
Smart overlays give surgeons more information while preserving the C-arm view

Semantic color use would give surgeon important information at-a-glance

✧ The Initial Designs ✧

AI-powered suggestions can help reduce the number of modifications needed later in the surgery, saving time and increasing accuracy

Every screw positioning can significantly influence the rod location in subsequent surgical steps. By intuitively identifying these placements, the system can promptly provide fresh recommendations.
An "AI View" screen would help to increase transparency of the AI system and help technicians troubleshoot issues

Suggestions are made with an outline, while detected placements are indicated with a filled treatment

✧ The Iteration ✧

Multi-modal feedback to empower surgeons to do their best work

Multi-modal feedback to empower surgeons to do their best work
The new designs do not require the surgeons to plan, but rather, allow them to save trajectories and place screws quickly, efficiently, and effectively.
An AI assistant allows the surgeon to use voice commands to advance to the next vertebrae, cutting down on contamination from touching the screen or a mouse

A 3D model of the spine gives multiple views to best inform the surgery team

✧ The Impact ✧

Strong concepts to drum up potential clients in the medical & healthcare space

Strong concepts to drum up potential clients in the medical & healthcare space
The audience was receptive and interested in the future-forward concepts we presented.

At least 10 possible leads were generated through the participation of this symposium.
