SentiAR adds real-time holographic visualization to cardiac ablation

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZghC1X-Mk0gby Kristi Hansen Onkka — A new dimension to clinical practiceI recently talked with Jim Howard, the CEO and co-founder of SentiAR. The St. Louis-based startup uses technology originally built by founders Dr. Jennifer Silva and biomedical engineering profes

The article states that: “SentiAR has developed a Microsoft HoloLens-enabled intraprocedural 3D augmented reality platform. SentiAR provides real-time holographic visualization of the patient’s actual anatomy in the clinical setting, literally floating over the patient. The key here is the “real-time” aspect of SentiAR’s technology. While companies like CAE healthcare have been using HoloLens for holographic mixed-reality training simulations, SentiAR is one of the first to offer a live real-time view of the patient’s actual anatomy in the operating room.

Can a blood filtering device save you from dying?

 The news item:

The potential use of a new blood filtering apparatus was reported by Bloomberg News web site: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-09-10/this-cartridge-of-plastic-beads-can-filter-blood-during-surgery

The articles states that:  “CytoSorb, a filter attached to a hospital’s existing blood-pumping equipment, uses a cylindrical cartridge to remove toxins from a patient’s circulatory system. Removing such toxins can reduce inflammation, which if left unchecked can damage tissues and organs.  The cartridge is about the size of a drinking glass, and it contains several million polymer beads, each the size of a grain of sand. An attached pump funnels the patient’s blood through the cartridge.
