What's next for augmented reality in spine surgery?

Augmented reality in spine surgery is taking off, and its growth could be exponential in the near future. With more and more places adopting the technology, many surgeons have a positive outlook for the technology. It's the first AR system driven by artificial intelligence, using machine-learning-based guidance and automated surgical planning. In December, Royal Philips expanded its ClarifyEye AR spine system in Spain and Oman. In February, Neo Medical raised $20.6 million in funding, which will support the product's U.S. launch.
