Snke OS debuted SnkeXR, the first medical-grade, open platform AR glasses purpose-built for the medical technology industry. The product’s introduction will include a simulated total hip arthroplasty.
Unlike AR glasses developed for the consumer market, SnkeXR was designed from the bottom up to aid the medical technology industry with integration and adoption of AR technologies into healthcare workflows. For medical device product development and R&D teams, this means the ability to incorporate many new key features for clinical use, including:
- medical grade design and manufacturing, ensuring compliance with strict regulations and standards, including ISO 13485, ISO 14971, IEC 60601-1, IEC 62304, as well as postmarket lifetime support
- built-in surgical tracker with 0.3mm marker pose accuracy for exceptional intra-operative performance
- built-in depth camera that can scan the surface anatomy or organ at 30 fps, to allow real time and continuous patient registration
- built-in stereoscopic loupe magnification up to 3.5X for operating on very small structures or when precision is critical
- display transparency, projection angle and focal plane designed for maximum visibility and clinician comfort
- integrated headlight for seamless surgical application
- long battery life at up to six hours continuous operation, detachable from glasses and waist mounted
Potential use cases for the SnkeXR platform span clinical practice areas including orthopedics, neurosurgery, spine, and more. SnkeXR is also suitable for use in procedure planning, remote assistance, and clinical training.
“The power of augmented reality to bring accuracy, efficiency, and enhanced clinician experience to healthcare is clear, but legacy consumer AR glasses weren’t designed for use in the medical field,” said Nissan Elimelech, general manager of Snke XR, who was previously the founder and CEO of Augmedics, the maker of the Xvision AR navigation system for spine surgery. “SnkeXR fills this gap with a medical grade, open platform design that can be incorporated into medical devices for a wide range of clinical use cases.”
