WatchThrough
See More. Save Lives.
Introduction
WatchThrough is a transparent holographic display system that projects real-time, high-resolution surgical data directly into the surgeon’s line of sight. Designed for the operating room, it enhances precision and focus by seamlessly overlaying 3D anatomical models and vital information onto the surgical field—without obstructing the view. By eliminating the need to look away at external monitors, WatchThrough redefines intraoperative visualization, boosting efficiency and accuracy in complex procedures.
Problem
Current surgical workflows rely heavily on 2D monitors positioned away from the operative field, forcing frequent head movements and disrupting the surgeon’s visual focus. This leads to increased cognitive load, longer OR times, and higher risk of errors—especially in high-precision fields like nerve surgery. Existing AR systems often fall short due to bulkiness, latency, or poor integration with sterile workflows.
Opportunity
WatchThrough integrates directly with existing imaging and navigation systems to deliver unobtrusive, real-time 3D overlays of patient-specific anatomy within the surgical field. Its transparent display uses advanced photonic control to maintain spatial awareness without distraction. Compared to AR headsets or static displays, WatchThrough offers hands-free, sterile-compatible, and high-resolution visualization. This makes it a compelling solution for surgical centers focused on innovation, safety, and operational excellence.
