October, 13 2022 04:55 AM Koninklijke Philips N.V. NY Registry Shares

Royal Philips ( NYSE: PHG ) said it expanded rollout of its augmented reality (AR) surgical navigation solution ClarifEye to Japan.
The Netherlands-based company highlighted positive results in the first patients treated by the International University of Health and Welfare, Mita Hospital in Tokyo using the 3D AR solution.
ClarifEye helped the surgeon to successfully treat patients with spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spaces in the spine) and scoliosis (sideways curvature of the spine) via minimally-invasive image-guided procedures, Philips said in an Oct. 13 press release.
The company noted that ClarifEye's live-video computer vision and AR technology uses non-invasive position markers applied on the patient's skin to track patient positioning and overlays the live video on a 3D cone-beam CT of the patient's spinal column.
PHG -0.23% to $13.14 premarket Oct. 13
