SubsidieMeestersSaorTrack: Wireless Position Tracking in the OR
This project aims to develop a wireless magnetic tracking system to enhance accuracy in electrophysiology mapping and enable precise localization in capsule endoscopy, improving clinical workflows and diagnostics.
Projectdetails
Introduction
Magnetic tracking technology is the gold standard for in vivo navigation where line-of-sight is not available. Magnetic tracking reduces dependence on radiation imaging and provides highly accurate tracking of instruments, tools, and cameras inside the patient. However, existing commercial and research solutions are wired.
Benefits of Wireless Tracking
High-accuracy wireless tracking can transform existing clinical applications of magnetic tracking, such as:
- Electrophysiology (EP) mapping of the beating heart
- Reducing wire clutter in the operating room (OR)
- Simplifying the clinical workflow
More importantly, wireless tracking can open up new clinical applications where high-accuracy position navigation is not feasible to date, such as in capsule endoscopy. Existing capsules provide video feed to the clinical team without localization to the patient’s anatomy. Our wireless position navigation design can seamlessly integrate with existing technology solutions to provide highly accurate localization of abnormalities within the colon, resulting in more precise and faster diagnosis.
Project Overview
This project builds on groundbreaking innovations from the ERC Deep Field project to demonstrate proof-of-concept pre-clinical validation for our wireless magnetic navigation design in high-value existing applications in cardiology, such as EP mapping. Additionally, it aims to demonstrate the feasibility of high-accuracy position navigation in capsule endoscopy for the first time.
