Top-tier neurosurgeon joins Ocutrx's scientific advisory panel
Leading Neurosurgeon Dr. Robert Louis Joins Ocutrx Technologies' Scientific Advisory Board
Dr. Robert Louis, a renowned neurosurgeon and pioneer in minimally invasive and endoscopic neurosurgical procedures, has joined Ocutrx Technologies' Scientific Advisory Board. This move marks a strategic step for Ocutrx as it extends its augmented reality (AR) and 3D visualization technology, DigiLoupes, into complex neurosurgery [1].
Dr. Louis, Director of the Skull Base and Pituitary Tumor Program at Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian in Newport Beach, California, has been a long-time advocate for using emerging AR/VR technologies in neurosurgery. His expertise is expected to significantly impact neurosurgery by shaping DigiLoupes to enhance delicate brain and spinal surgeries, including brain tumor resections, spinal disorders, epilepsy, and hydrocephalus management [1].
The company believes that Dr. Louis's expertise will help shape DigiLoupes for these delicate procedures, leveraging intraoperative AR/VR imaging for improved clarity, precision, and surgical efficiency [1]. Ocutrx Technologies specializes in AR and 3D visualization technology, and its DigiLoupes platform offers a promising solution for neurosurgeons seeking to improve their visualization and precision during complex procedures [2].
Dr. Louis's commitment to training the next generation of surgeons and reimagining the operating room of tomorrow aligns with Ocutrx's vision for innovation in the operating room. He stated that the company's vision for innovation in the operating room aligns with his passion for innovation, and that DigiLoupes represents a paradigm shift for real-time visualization [1].
This appointment is viewed by Ocutrx's leadership as a strategic move to push the boundaries of what AR/VR visualization can achieve in neurosurgery, moving beyond Ocutrx’s existing orthopedic and spinal applications to more intricate brain surgeries [1][4]. By joining forces with Dr. Louis, Ocutrx Technologies aims to revolutionize neurosurgery and offer surgeons a more precise and efficient way to perform complex procedures.
