  • Apple Vision Pro could help surgeons see vital data during operations

    Transplant surgeon here

    Eriamjh -- I spend a lot of time using very high magnification glasses during transplants, and I have no doubt the Vision Pro would be capable of giving outstanding magnification/resolution for the most micro of surgery.  

    Mikethemartian -- Physicians would use Apple products during surgery in a heartbeat.  The most popular robotic system is Intuitive's da Vinci and it uses a 3-D immersive screen when performing all of the surgery (ie we do liver resections, organ procurements etc robotically).  And I have fully expect the resolution and clarity and experience for the Vision Pro to be exponentially superior to Intuitive's system, based on reported specs.   

    JP234 -- All of your Chicago area surgeons are using the Intuitive da Vinci system I described above  and BTW 95% percent have less than 10 years experience... most of those surgeons have far less than 5 years experience.  (That being said, the surgeons at U of I are some of the preeminent world leaders of robotic surgery...).  The visual technology we use in robotic systems are far inferior than that of the Vision Pro (if the specs are to be believed).   It would be great if we could sync the Vision Pro technology to the da Vinci system at some time in the future.  I would not be surprised to see a future collaboration there.
