HOSPITALS

Marcus Neuroscience Institute, part of Baptist Health, at Bethesda Hospital West, is the first hospital in the state of Florida to perform and offer next-generation augmented reality spinal surgery with novel, advanced, high-resolution AR technology. The surgery was done by neurosurgeon Timothy O’Connor, M.D., director of minimally invasive and robotic spine surgery. Marcus Neuroscience Institute is one of the first medical centers in the world to use this next-generation augmented reality technology.

This discovery could lead to new treatments to prevent heart failure, a serious cardiac condition that develops in up to 30% of heart attack survivors within one year.
