We are a Polish technology company. Our innovative solutions for medicine are revolutionising the way people can be treated and lives can be saved.
- Artificial intelligence
- Continuously improving the quality of diagnoses and developing without pause, through modern IT tools.
- 3D imaging
- Mixed reality (MR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies that improve diagnostics and treatment.
- Big data analysis
- Analysis of data aggregated from many peripheral devices, handled within an innovative telemedicine system.
The technology.
CarnaLife Holo is a breakthrough technology for the three-dimensional visualisation of medical imaging data, supporting the planning and performance of medical procedures. With dedicated Microsoft HoloLens goggles it allows a three-dimensional hologram reflecting the true structure of the imaged anatomical area to be seen in real space.
Three kinds of reality
- Virtual reality (VR)
- A fully virtual, closed environment. No interaction with the outside world.
- Augmented reality (AR)
- Digital elements integrated with the real environment.
- Mixed reality (MR)
- Full interaction with, and the ability to manipulate, both the real and the virtual elements of the environment.
Core and additional features.
- Support for data in the DICOM standard
- Holographic visualisation of three-dimensional data
- Interaction with the hologram through gestures and voice commands
- Integration with hospital PACS
- Tools for defining regions of interest (scissors)
- A transfer function editor and filters dedicated to specific tasks
- Real-time display of data from the GE Vivid E95
An innovative procedure supported by CarnaLife Holo.
Carolina Medical Center is one of the largest and most modern private orthopaedic and sports medicine hospitals in Europe. It receives patients who need specialist care using the most advanced medical solutions available.
The clinic's leading orthopaedist, Dr Andrzej Komor, performed a foot reconstruction procedure and ankle joint replacement operations. A good surgical outcome depended on designing and producing a bone implant perfectly matched to the bone of the patient being operated on.
Benefits before the procedure
- CarnaLife Holo lets the physician examine a precise 3D image of the patient's bone, adjust the hologram to their needs and view it the way humans naturally do — in three dimensions
- The ability to verify the arrangement of anatomical structures safely and quickly
- The ability to plan the course of the procedure, which optimised the time spent in the operating theatre
Benefits during the procedure
- Working with CarnaLife Holo streamlined the preparation of the bone for the implant
- The physician could interact with the holographic image in mixed reality while maintaining sterility and without losing sight of the operating field
- Sensors registering the position of the hands in space read the image with high accuracy, which allowed the view to be adapted to the physician's needs at each stage of the operation
- The physician could view the data from every side, change its size and manipulate it in almost any way
The outcome for patients.
Before the procedure the patients were unable to move unaided and took painkillers every day. After the operation performed with CarnaLife Holo they regained the lost function in the treated limb.
What they say.
CarnaLife Holo is a helpful technology that makes it possible to shorten the duration of an operation.
We are proud to bring to market innovative solutions that can have a positive effect on patients' health and lives. We offer the highest standards of safety in processing medical data and visualising it as 3D holograms using Microsoft HoloLens 2 goggles. Thanks to our solution the patient can receive better quality medical services. At the same time, CarnaLife Holo helps the hospital reduce medical costs.
