New glasses. Better knees? 👓
Augmented reality can upgrade the surgeon’s view. But does that translate into better outcomes?
Check out the article at Arthroplasty Today for a clearer view of the evidence.

With the rise of digital technologies, such as AI, robotics, VR/AR, telemedicine, 3D-printing, portable diagnostics, or health sensors and wearables, the entire structure of healthcare, as well as the roles of patients and doctors, will fundamentally shift from the current status quo.
In the infographics below, I summarized the cornerstones of the coming changes, comparing the current, traditional healthcare system, its structure, and its roles with the modern healthcare system characterized by digital health.
My question is always the same: what have I missed?

No two spines are exactly alike, and personalized 3D-printed titanium options are giving Mayo Clinic surgeons a way to more closely match an implant to a patient's individual anatomy.
Instead of traditional implants manufactured in standard sizes, surgeons are using implants designed from a patient's own imaging.
"The benefit of these is they're custom fitted for each particular patient," says Dr. Joshua Bakhsheshian, a Mayo Clinic neurosurgeon.

Exclusive: Inside The World’s First AR Goggles For Brain Surgery (feat. @medivis_ai)
Medivis raised $20M+ to build the world’s first FDA-cleared AR system for brain and spine surgery. The founders, Dr Chris Morley (Radiologist) and Dr Osamah Choudhry (neurosurgeon) realised that surgeons were still operating on your brain using flat 2D images and guesswork. And for high stakes surgeries, you cannot make any mistakes, so what if technology could help?
We flew to New York, put the headset on, and saw a brain tumor floating in 3D in front of us. The question we wanted to answer was: Will augmented reality fundamentally improve the safety of surgery?
Founded by Dr. Osamah Choudhry & Dr. Christopher Morley (@ctmorley). Backed by @ThriveCapital @MayoInvents @RobertIger @hbarra, Kevin Durant (@KDTrey5) + more.
(0:00) Surgeons are still operating blind

(4:17) Live: Sachin see's AR brain tumor
(6:30) Dr Chris: "A surgical co-pilot"

(7:47) Can AR reach underserved patients?
(8:49) Does AI improve surgery safety?

3D bioprinting really gets a big upgrade in a project funded by the European Commission!
"EU-funded researchers have developed a 3D bioprinting technique to grow living bone, fat and muscle tissue in the lab, opening doors to applications ranging from leukaemia research to cultivated meat."
Even more, researchers are working to recreate bone marrow for biomedical research!
This is big news for the industry that has been dominated by a few companies and studies for a decade showing that it is possible to bioprint tissues like bone or cartilage, but couldn't bring it to practice.

Ten years ago, DOCSF began with a simple question: how do we bring the people building the future of orthopaedics into the same room as the people delivering care?
A decade later, that question matters more than ever.
AI, robotics, and digital technologies are reshaping healthcare—and DOCSF26 brings clinicians, researchers, health systems, and innovators together to talk about what comes next.
📅 Join us in San Francisco, October 1–2, 2026.
