From the winners: “Loupes — small magnifiers mounted on glasses used by surgeons and dentists — have to be manually adjusted and also cause back/neck problems from constantly bending over patients. MetaSCOPE displays video in front of the eyes and work can be performed in natural, comfortable positions. Operations can be watched in real-time through connected monitor.”
“Doctors wear a loupe during the operation, and the operation is performed in an uncomfortable position for a long time. As a result, they complain of pain in the neck and back. We developed ‘MetaSCOPE’, a product that replaces the loupe, by considering how doctors can perform surgery in a more comfortable posture.”
“Competing products are stuck in the manual world. The work performed cannot be recorded and others cannot view it. We also help medical professionals prevent major health problems such as back/neck/wrist by allowing them to comfortably operate on patients without having to constantly bend over.”
