The Solution
Real-time surgical guidance with increased accuracy
Having created an early pilot to a degree of accuracy, S3 engaged Waracle to rebuild their application in such a way that it could not only improve accuracy, but guide surgeons in real-time to utilise that accuracy for patient benefit. Given mathematical modelling of average contours, generated by MRI scanning, S3's device then has a set of pins calibrated to the ideal positions for measuring contours on a joint. Waracle's task was to take this modelling and the device, and create both an algorithm to compute what the device pins were showing in real time, but also to measure it against the mathematical model and guide the surgeon on whether they should move the device to reach a better position.
