Apple’s foray into the healthcare sector has been gaining momentum in recent years. The tech giant has introduced a range of health apps and devices with the main objective of improving people’s well-being. But the latest development is perhaps the most exciting yet.
Surgeons at Cromwell Hospital, UK have successfully used Apple’s Vision Pro to assist with two micro spinal procedures. This marks the first instance of Apple Vision Pro being used in surgery. The breakthrough experiment was conducted by surgeons Mr. Fady Sedra and Mr. Syed Aftab using the eXeX software. It is an AI program aimed at surgical organization and workflow optimization. Moreover, the lead nurse, Suvi Verho, who was wearing the device during a spinal surgery praised its zero error capabilities.
While Apple Vision Pro is not yet available in the UK, there are plans for an international expansion in the coming months. With the first generation of this product, Apple is testing the waters in the same way it did with the Apple Watch, starting as a luxury product before finding its niche as a health assistant for users who enjoy working out.
Now, with Apple Vision Pro, the company is betting on the product’s potential for productivity, gaming, and entertainment. So far, this bet seems to be paying off.
But perhaps the most exciting aspect of this breakthrough is Apple Vision Pro’s potential to revolutionize the medical field.
