The use of Kinect in operating rooms is not new. It has been deployed in the U.S., Canada and the United Kingdom successfully and already helps surgeons to perform operations with greater agility, speed, since it allows the unit tests and x ray films to be seen without being manipulated. A Brazilian hospital brought this technology to the country, more specifically for operating rooms in the city of Londrina, Parana.
The video above shows how doctors use the software called Intera, which was created by the Evangelical Hospital in London, is responsible for scanning and display on-screen x-ray plates, allowing its manipulation by specific movements. Besides the advantage of not needing to touch the plate to see the details of the patient (thus avoiding having to go through a new sterilization process), the level of detail increases when the plate is scanned.
The software created pleo hospital, which by the way has had its patent pending, runs on a computer running Windows 7 and allows the physician to interact with the Kinect up to 4 meters away. He is on trial since January and the end of this semester will be present in 12 theaters.
