  • Publication number: 20250255678
    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and systems for transcribing and performing analysis on patient data are disclosed. Data is collected from one or more medical professionals as well as sensors and imaging devices positioned on or oriented towards a patient. An analysis is performed on the patient data and the data is presented to a medical professional via a verbal interface in a conversational manner, allowing the medical professional to provide additional data such as observations or instructions which may be used for further analysis or to perform actions related to the patient's care.

  • Patent number: 12376907
    Abstract: Systems and methods for designing and implementing patient-specific surgical procedures and/or medical devices are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method includes receiving a patient data set of a patient. The patient data set is compared to a plurality of reference patient data sets, wherein each of the plurality of reference patient data sets is associated with a corresponding reference patient. A subset of the plurality of reference patient data sets is selected based, at least partly, on similarity to the patient data set and treatment outcome of the corresponding reference patient. Based on the selected subset, at least one surgical procedure or medical device design for treating the patient is generated.

  • Publication number: 20250221773
    Abstract: Technologies for providing assistance to a surgeon during a surgical procedure are disclosed. An example method includes identifying a medical condition of a patient and recommending surgical procedures for treatment. An optimal surgical procedure is then determined based on correlations between the medical condition of the patient and outcomes of previous surgical procedures for other patients previously suffering from the medical condition. A 3D model of the patient may be created using current images of an affected area of the patient. Successively, a surgeon is trained using a Virtual Reality simulation. During the training, the surgeon may be allowed to provide annotations. Further, the recommended surgical procedures are based on medical data of the patient, including medical images.

  • Publication number: 20250221829
    Abstract: A multi-portal method for treating a subject's spine includes distracting adjacent vertebrae using a distraction instrument positioned at a first entrance along the subject to enlarge an intervertebral space between the adjacent vertebrae. An interbody fusion implant can be delivered into the enlarged intervertebral space. The interbody fusion implant can be positioned directly between vertebral bodies of the adjacent vertebrae while endoscopically viewing the interbody fusion implant using an endoscopic instrument. The patient's spine can be visualized using endoscopic techniques to view, for example, the spine, tissue, instruments and implants before, during, and after implantation, or the like. The visualization can help a physician throughout the surgical procedure to improve patient outcome.

  • Publication number: 20250213308
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing assistance to a surgeon during an implant surgery are disclosed. A method includes defining areas of interest in diagnostic data of a patient and defining a screw bone type based on the surgeon's input. Post defining the areas of interest, salient points are determined for the areas of interest. Successively, an XZ angle, an XY angle, and a position entry point for a screw are determined based on the salient points of the areas of interest. Successively, a maximum screw diameter and a length of the screw are determined based on the salient points. Thereafter, the screw is identified and suggested to the surgeon for usage during the implant surgery.

  • Publication number: 20250213364
    Abstract: Systems and methods for designing patient-specific medical devices are described herein. In some embodiments, a method includes obtaining patient data that includes image data and kinematic data of a patient's spine. A virtual model of the patient's spine is generated and can be manipulated until a target anatomical configuration is achieved. A patient-specific implant can then be designed based at least in part on the target anatomical configuration and the kinematics such that, when the patient-specific implant is implanted in the patient, the patient-specific implant provides the target anatomical correction while maintaining or improving the kinematics of the patient's spine.

  • Publication number: 20250169911
    Abstract: Haptic feedback from a robotic surgical tool can be adjusted based on intra-operative assessment of the accuracy of a pre-operative surgical navigational plans. Navigational reference points are identified in at least one pre-operative image. At least one haptic response is identified for interactions between at least one robotic surgical tool and at least one navigational reference point. At least one intra-operative image is compared to the pre-operative image to determine the relative position of at least two corresponding navigational reference points in the images. The reference points' relative position determines a confidence level in the accuracy of the pre-operative navigational reference point. The haptic response is adjusted in timing, location, type, or amplitude based upon the confidence level. Tolerances and surgical navigation plan may also be updated and altered based on the confidence level.

  • Patent number: 12245822
    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and systems for autonomous surgical robot evolution and handoff for manual operation are disclosed. A robotic surgical system performs surgery and is controlled jointly by an artificial intelligence (AI) and a surgeon. The surgeon can perform the entire surgery or can alternatively allow the AI to control the surgical robot to perform a part of or the entirety of the surgery. The AI is trained using data from previous surgeries, can provide indication to the surgeon when it has been sufficient trained to take over parts of a surgery, and can prompt the surgeon when there is insufficient training data for the AI to continue. Alternatively, a supervising surgeon can manually take back control of the surgical robot from the AI.

  • Patent number: 12245826
    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and systems for automated disease detection using multiple-wavelength imaging are disclosed. The disclosed system uses multiple imaging modalities for assessing a medical condition. Data collected from multiple cameras and imaging modalities is processed to identify common structures. The common structures are used to scale and align images, which are analyzed to detect one or more medical conditions. Each acquired image is assessed, and the resulting probabilities are consolidated. The images can be assessed together by using artificial intelligence and machine learning.
