HealthcareVerification & Error Prevention2MildScrub Nurse or RN

A scrub nurse or RN with high myopia (-7.5) is concerned that poor eyesight will prevent them from handling tiny vascular needles with finesse during surgical scrubbing.

Existing vision correction (glasses/contacts) does not guarantee the fine motor control and depth perception needed for precise needle handling in surgery, and the user is uncertain if their level of myopia is compatible with the role.

SurgiSight Pro

SurgiSight Pro is a wearable augmented reality (AR) headset that enhances visual acuity and depth perception for surgical professionals. It overlays a magnified, high-contrast view of the surgical field, with adjustable zoom and focus modes specifically for needle handling. Unlike standard glasses or contacts, it provides dynamic visual enhancement and real-time guidance to compensate for refractive errors like high myopia or astigmatism.

Key Features
  • Adjustable digital magnification (2x-10x) for fine needle visualization
  • Real-time contrast enhancement to highlight small instruments against tissue
  • Depth perception assist using stereoscopic cameras and alignment cues
  • Voice-activated focus modes: Needle, Suture, Vessel, Tissue
Target Users: Scrub nurses, RNs, and surgical technologists in hospitals and surgery centers who have refractive errors (myopia, astigmatism) and need enhanced vision during procedures.
Revenue Model: $1,500 per headset hardware + $99/month for software updates and calibration service
