HipInsight 2.0 enables a new patented method of overlaying digital content onto the patient to improve the surgeon’s workflow for hip replacements, according to a news release. HipInsight puts 3D information onto mixed-reality eyeglass lenses.

The new technology also generates “future X-rays” that show desired surgical results. They can be displayed onto intraoperative X-rays so surgeons can see a live comparison during procedures. HipInsight 2.0 allows for quick assessment of leg length and hip width change, too.

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
