Description

Image-guided procedures rely on external monitors that require clinicians to shift their focus away from the patient, increasing cognitive load and contributing to inefficiency and physical strain. Lumen is a mixed reality platform that streams live fluoroscopy directly into the clinician’s field of view.

This allows operators to visualize imaging in real time without breaking focus from the procedure.

Target Impact

The platform has the potential to improve procedural efficiency, reduce operator strain, and enhance accuracy by keeping critical information directly in the clinician’s line of sight.

Project Lead's Vision

The team aims to redesign the procedural environment by bringing imaging into the natural workflow of the operator. The goal is to improve performance, reduce burden, and create a more intuitive surgical and interventional experience.
