Abstract: A monitoring method and system for providing visual enhancements during a medical procedure is described. The method includes capturing current visual information of a site during the medical procedure in real time, storing at least a portion of the captured visual information as stored visual information, identifying a feature of interest in at least one of the current visual information and the stored visual information; generating feedback data associated with the feature of interest, and displaying a virtual representation of the feedback data overlaid on the current visual information.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for generating a mental health prediction for a patient. One of the methods includes obtaining brain data captured by one or more sensors characterizing a brain of a patient; determining a network graph from the brain data, wherein: a node of the network graph corresponds to a parcellation in the brain of the patient, and a subset of nodes of the network graph corresponds to a particular functional area of the brain; generating, for each of a plurality of nodes in the network graph, a measure of centrality of the node; generating, for the particular functional area of the brain and using the generated measures of centrality, a health score representing a measure of health of the functional area of the brain; generating a mental health prediction for the patient using the health score.

Abstract: A anatomical phantom is disclosed containing a pathological abnormality having fluorescing properties to simulate fluorescence training and/or the simulation of medical procedures, such as fluorescence-based methods for intraoperative visualization and image-guidance. The phantom is made of materials that mimic anatomical biomechanical properties and wherein the pathological abnormality contains fluorescing properties to fluoresce in responsive to UV light excitation. The phantom may be a standalone model or may be used in a complementary simulation kit to provide a more comprehensive training approach.

Abstract: A medical navigation system is provided including a surgical positioning system for positioning a payload during a medical procedure. The medical navigation system has a robotic arm having a plurality of joints, the robotic arm forming part of the surgical positioning system and having an end effector for holding the payload, an input device for providing input, and a controller electrically coupled to the robotic arm and the input device.
