Critical Care

In high-risk patient anesthesia and emergency room trauma cases, physicians often need to perform life-saving procedures on unstable patients. Examples include starting airways or arterial lines. While performing procedures, critical patient life-signs are being monitored, but cannot be seen by the physician.

These monitors usually have fixed display systems requiring the physician to look away from the task to derive information such as heart rate, rhythm, oxygen saturation and respiration rate.

With the Nomad Augmented Vision System, the physician has all of the critical information overlaid into their natural field of view in “heads up” mode.

Nomad provides the display of critical care patient life signs,
as well as the potential to enhance speed and accuracy of decisions.

This “augmented vision” allows the physician to focus on the task while monitoring key information, thereby increasing efficiency and patient safety.

Interventional Ultrasound Procedures

Interventional procedures such as needle biopsies, catheterization and brachytherapy require physicians to view ultrasound images while guiding needles or catheters into position. In some procedures, one image alone does not provide all the information required for complex clinical decision-making. In most cases, they need to watch the position of their hands, the needle and the ultrasound probe. Most of the current fixed display systems require the physician to look away from the task in order to derive information from the display.

With the Nomad Augmented Vision System, the physician has all of the critical information overlaid into their natural field of view in “heads up” mode. An image from the Nomad can be overlaid on field of view to provide a simultaneous view of critical information. Our see-through display allows the physician to view ultrasound images while simultaneously catheter position on the X-ray monitor, their hands, or other tools.

This “augmented vision” allows the physician to see critical information overlaid in their field of view, simultaneously, thereby increasing efficiency and patient safety.

Image-Guided Surgery

Modern image-guided surgery requires the Surgeon to guide surgical tools such as drills, saws or probes into the patient’s anatomy while simultaneously watching guidance information on a nearby computer monitor. These systems usually have fixed display systems meaning the Surgeon must look away from the task to derive information from the display.
