The head-mounted display was developed by an Australian team of anesthesiologists. It projects data from the patient monitors so that it appears in the anesthesiologist’s line of vision as a red image in front of the anesthesiologist’s right eye, according to a news release. The headset is wirelessly connected to patient monitors, so the anesthesiologist can move around the room.
In tests with six anesthesiologists during operations with 36 patients, anesthesiologists spent more time watching patients and less time looking at the monitoring equipment, according to the release.
