In New York, Dr. Keith Reinhardt at South Shore University Hospital is pioneering the use of augmented reality in hip replacement surgeries. He is the only surgeon in the state utilizing this advanced technology, which gives doctors x-ray 3D vision in the operating room. The system, known as HipInsight, is the first FDA-cleared mixed-reality navigation system for hip replacement procedures. This innovation is part of a broader trend where technologies like augmented reality, AI, and neural interfaces are transforming healthcare education and surgical practices.
