- Applicability of mixed reality in operating roomPublication . Magalhães, Renato; Veloso, Rita; Vilaça, Adélio; Oliveira, Ana; Terroso, DavidMixed Reality (MR) technology has emerged as a promising tool for enhancing surgical procedures and training in the operating room (OR). The applicability of MR in the OR has potential benefits and challenges. In this study, we conducted a systematic review to comprehensively evaluate the use of MR in the OR, specifically focusing on training, remote support, and surgical planning. Additionally, we analysed available tools, assessing their usability and integration into existing workflows. The analysis highlights MR solutions that improve surgical precision, visualization, decision-making, and educational experiences. The conclusions derived from the systematic review are presented, emphasizing the applicability of MR in OR and its potential contributions to training and surgical planning.
- Mixed reality in the operating room: A systematic reviewPublication . Magalhães, Renato; Oliveira, Ana; Terroso, David; Vilaça, Adélio; Veloso, Rita; Marques, António; Pereira, Javier; Pereira da Silva Marques, António José; Magalhães, RenatoMixed Reality is a technology that has gained attention due to its unique capabilities for accessing and visualizing information, becoming a valuable tool for medicine, particularly for the operating room and surgical learning; A systematic review was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines to answer the research questions established using the PICO framework; Although implementation of Mixed Reality applications in the operations room presents some challenges, when used appropriately, it can yield remarkable results. It can make learning easier, flatten the learning curve for several procedures, and facilitate various aspects of the surgical processes; Technical complexity, equipment costs, and steep learning curves present significant obstacles to the widespread adoption of Mixed Reality and computer-assisted evaluation. The possibility of integration of distinct medical imaging modalities and innovative functionalities holds promise for clinical applications. However, it is important to consider issues related to usability, bias, and statistical analyses need consideration. Mixed Reality offers significant benefits, but there are still open challenges such as ergonomic issues, limited field of view, and battery autonomy that must be addressed to ensure widespread acceptance.
- UVMove: Disinfection robotPublication . Terroso, David; Sousa, João; Fernandes, Ana; Lázaro Jacob, Frederico; Silveira, António; Guimarães, Pedro; Marques, Maria ArcelinaHomes are an environment where many human activities take place, leaving them exposed to infections and other diseases, putting at risk the health of its residents, especially those who have a more fragile health [1]. Infection through the floor presents a high risk of contamination, and can occur through vomit, blood, feces, and waste that humans or pets may carry into the house [2], [3].The development of this project started with the idealization on how to reduce the number of infections occurred with origin on the floor, without the use of chemical products that can lead to intoxication of children and negative consequences for the environment [4]. Then, many ideas came up but only the imple mentation of a robot with minimal human contact remained, which led to the UVMove. It is a small size robot capable of disinfecting the floor where it operates, without the use of water or chemicals, dedicated only to the automatic dis infection with ultraviolet radiation. However, room for improvement is left, changes that could not be done with the available resources, like improving the disinfection effectiveness and its battery autonomy, with possible implementation in hospitals and houses, in the future.
