As a result, most surgeons report experiencing discomfort while performing minimal-access surgery, a 2022 study found. About one-fifth of surgeons polled said they would consider retiring early because their pain was so frequent and uncomfortable. A good mixed-reality headset, then, might allow a surgeon to look at a patient’s surgical area and, without looking up, virtual screens that show them the laparoscopy camera and a patient’s vitals.
Just if it wasn’t clear to anyone else.
Admittedly, I only ever entered an operating room under anesthesia, but could you just, you know, put the displays somewhere else?
This seems like one of those informercial “problems”.
“I wanna drink some milk, but it’s so flimmin-flammin hard to open.”
This is the weirdest cyberpunk future.
On one hand, we have surgeons performing surgery with literal augmented reality,
On the other hand, if you’re poor you’ll never have an iota of a chance of seeing that doctor.
That latter point doesn’t really apply if you leave America.
Sounds like an american healthcare problem to me
