Vidhance for Surgery

Surgical teams can't always be in the same room.

Vidhance for Surgery connects them – with stable, first-person video and remote camera control developed for clinical environments.

The OR has limits. Your expertise shouldn't.

Infection control limits who can enter the OR. Specialists and supervisors are often located elsewhere. And training requires observation that crowded operating theatres simply can’t accommodate. The result: knowledge and expertise that should travel freely gets stuck behind physical constraints.

Vidhance for Surgery

Vidhance for Surgery is a software platform that turns head-mounted cameras into clinical-grade remote collaboration tools. It runs on the headset worn by the surgeon or nurse, and on a tablet or computer used by the remote observer – stabilising the video feed in real time and giving the observer full remote control of the camera view.

Beyond stabilisation and camera control, the platform includes Click & Lock – which autonomously anchors the view on specific anatomy or instruments even as the camera moves – and Instant Hi-Res Snapshot, which captures a full-resolution still image mid-stream for documentation or diagnostic reference.

The system connects over the internet or via a local network, and runs on standard commercial hardware.

What it does

Three use cases made possible

Train without crowding the OR

Trainees observe live procedures from another room – seeing exactly what the surgeon sees, without entering the OR. The observer can lock the view to specific anatomy or instruments with Click & Lock, and follow the procedure at the level of detail the training requires.

Supervise from anywhere

Remote specialists follow procedures in real time and control the camera view directly from their screen – framing, zoom and Click & Lock without any input from the wearer. Instant Hi-Res Snapshot captures full-resolution stills mid-stream for documentation or follow-up.

Assess and treat across distance

Nurses and caregivers in home care or field environments share a stable, first-person view with remote specialists – hands-free, without holding a camera steady. The remote expert controls the view directly and captures high-resolution stills without interrupting the caregiver’s workflow.

How it works

The surgeon or nurse wears the head-mounted camera. The video feed is stabilised in real time – clear and controlled even as they move, with no manual adjustment required.

The remote specialist or trainee follows the procedure live on an observer tablet from a separate location. They control framing and zoom directly from their screen, and can use Click & Lock to autonomously anchor the view on specific anatomy or instruments – without any input from the wearer.

The system connects over a local network or the internet, and runs on standard commercial hardware.

“improved visualization, better focus during teaching discussions, and enhanced patient safety through reduced overcrowding”

Technology developed through four years of field development in East Africa is now applied at Uppsala University Hospital’s National Burn Centre. A peer-reviewed study documents how head-mounted cameras with Vidhance software improve surgical and burn care training – with a remarkably high level of acceptance among surgeons and anaesthesiologists across eight countries.
