Moty Avisar, CEO and Co-Founder of Surgical Theater, discussed the adaptation of military technologies into life-saving medical technologies for civilian medicine. The former Israeli Air Force officer and flight simulation expert is revolutionizing the operating room by introducing interactive surgical navigation combined with 3D virtual reality.
Surgical Theater provides a dynamic, immersive 360-degree view based on a patient’s traditional imaging including CT and MRI scans, which enhances a surgeon’s situational awareness and has been utilized in more than 1,500 surgical cases to date. The presentation included a live demonstration and a testimonial from an AlmaLinks member who recently underwent life-altering spinal cord surgery at NYU, facilitated by Surgical Theater.
