The Kharkiv‑based medtech startup eXtra Vision has surpassed 200 surgical procedures using augmented reality (AR) glasses designed for real‑time intraoperative visualization.
The system transforms CT and MRI scans into detailed 3D models of a patient’s organs. AI algorithms automatically isolate bones, vessels, tumors and hematomas to create the model, which is then synced with AR glasses and displayed over the patient’s body during surgery.
Surgeons wear the AR glasses and view the model spatially overlaid on the patient’s anatomy. Sensors track surgical instruments and surgeon movements, allowing the AI to recommend optimal access paths and avoid critical structures—enhancing precision, reducing risk and improving outcomes.
The technology is already deployed in municipal, state and private hospitals in Kharkiv and Kyiv and is now being tested in orthopedics, trauma, oncology, mammology, hepatobiliary and maxillofacial surgery.
This is a compelling case of Ukrainian med‑tech innovation entering clinical practice with global potential.
