What specific problem are you solving?
High-quality brain surgery remains one of the most complex and inaccessible procedures in global healthcare. Each year, over 5 million patients require neurosurgical care, yet the majority live in regions with fewer than one neurosurgeon per million people. As a result, treatable brain tumors become life-threatening simply because the expertise and infrastructure needed for surgical planning aren’t available.
The core issue? Medical expertise is not scalable. Surgical planning depends on manual MRI interpretation, tumor segmentation, and 3D modeling–tasks that are extremely time-consuming and require highly trained professionals. In many regional hospitals, it can take up to two weeks to interpret scans and formulate a resection plan–delays that result in worse outcomes and increases costs by 40%. What’s missing isn’t technology—it’s scalable access to medical knowledge.
Our solution automates this workflow using AI to segment tumors, generate interactive 3D brain models, and compute surgical plans, which are then shared through VR for real-time, remote telementoring. This transforms elite surgical expertise into a globally shareable tool which extends high-quality care to communities that have never had access to it.
What is your solution?
Our solution is a VR-integrated, AI-powered platform that transforms how brain tumor surgeries are planned. It simplifies the process and enables remote collaboration between medical professionals.
Here’s how it works: a doctor uploads a patient’s MRI scan into the platform. The system automatically analyzes and segments both healthy brain regions (~54 structures) and cancerous regions(including tumor core, edema, necrosis) using a deep-learning model trained on thousands of medical imaging data. Within minutes, the scan is converted into a detailed 3D model of the brain. Then, the system generates AI-suggested surgical plans and safe resection pathways based on the tumor’s location and surrounding anatomy. These 3D models and suggestions are viewable through Microsoft HoloLens or other VR/AR headsets which allows surgeons to interact with the anatomy in real time.
What makes this system powerful is the ability to connect teams. Experienced neurosurgeons can remotely mentor residents or local doctors using the same VR model, guiding them step by step through complex cases. This platform not only saves time and reduces planning costs but also transforms specialized expertise into a collaborative, globally accessible tool—improving outcomes where resources are limited.
Who does your solution serve, and in what ways will the solution impact their lives?
Our solution directly serves patients with neurological complications in low- and middle-income countries where neurosurgical expertise is scarce or entirely unavailable. These patients often live in regions with fewer than one neurosurgeon per million people. Without access to advanced surgical planning, many receive delayed, inadequate, or no treatment at all.
We also serve the frontline medical professionals working in these underserved areas: general surgeons, junior doctors, radiologists, and medical trainees who are doing their best with limited resources. They often lack access to mentors, tools, and infrastructure needed to safely perform complex procedures like brain surgery.
Our platform bridges that gap. It equips these providers with AI-generated 3D models, accurate tumor segmentation, and real-time surgical guidance from global experts—all accessible through a simple upload and a VR headset. This transforms complicated, specialist-dependent procedures into collaborative, teachable, and scalable workflows.
For patients, this means faster diagnosis, better surgical outcomes, and access to care they might not otherwise receive. For providers, it means learning by doing—with the support of mentors anywhere in the world. We’re empowering a new generation of surgeons and saving lives where it matters most.
