What if surgeons could actually see through organs during an operation?
In this episode, I spoke with Dr. Nicolas Bourdel, Founder and CEO of SurgAR, about how augmented reality is bringing patient-specific digital twins into the operating room. Using AI and computer vision, Surgar overlays CT and MRI-based anatomical models onto the live surgical view, helping surgeons see tumors hidden inside soft tissue during minimally invasive procedures. Nicolas shared why he believes surgery has progressed from digital eyes to robotic arms, and is now entering the era of the digital brain powered by intelligent software. We also discussed Surgar's expansion into kidney cancer surgery and its vision for making every surgeon an augmented surgeon.
Tune in to hear how augmented reality, AI, and digital twins are transforming minimally invasive surgery, and why the next revolution in robotics may be software, not hardware.
