AR SaaS Platform for 3D Surgical Navigation and Planning in Neurosurgery

healthPilotedTRL 7

Imagine a surgeon having to look away from a patient to check a flat, black-and-white map during a delicate brain operation. This technology turns those flat scans into a 3D hologram that floats right over the patient. It's like using a high-tech GPS for the human body, making complex surgeries much more intuitive.

The business problem

What needed solving

Surgeons rely on 2D scans that are non-intuitive, forcing them to look away from patients during delicate neurosurgery. This leads to preventable medical errors and inefficient clinical workflows.

The solution

What was built

The Lumi Elite AR SaaS platform. It automatically converts 2D scans into 3D holograms using AI for intraoperative guidance.

Target: Medical Software Provider

If you are a software provider dealing with outdated 2D imaging workflows — this project developed the Lumi Elite AR SaaS platform that converts 2D scans into 3D holograms to reduce medical errors.

Medical Devices
enterprise
Target: Surgical Equipment Manufacturer

If you are a manufacturer dealing with the high cost of new imaging hardware — this project developed a competitively priced AR solution that provides intraoperative 3D guidance without expensive hardware.

Clinical Services
SME
Target: Private Neurosurgical Clinic

If you are a clinic dealing with preventable medical errors and poor patient communication — this project developed a holographic experience that improves surgical planning and shared decision making.

Frequently asked

Quick answers

What is the cost and pricing strategy for this solution?

The project aims to provide the most competitively priced product on the market to ensure affordability for clinical centers.

Can this be scaled to other surgical fields?

Yes, while focused on neurosurgery, the project notes that the need for better visual tools exists across many other surgical fields as well.

How is the intellectual property or licensing handled?

Based on available project data, the solution is delivered as a SaaS (Software as a Service) platform called Lumi Elite.

How does this integrate with existing hospital data?

The platform automatically converts existing 2D medical scans into 3D holograms and stores them in a cloud environment.

What is the timeline for market availability?

The project period runs from 2023-01-01 to 2025-05-31, with the goal of preparing the product for market.

Consortium

Who built it

The project is led by a single Dutch SME, Augmedit BV, with a 100% industry ratio. This lean structure suggests a fast-track commercialization path focused on the Lumi Elite SaaS product rather than academic research.
