eXeX and Cromwell Hospital pioneer the First Use of Apple Vision Pro in UK Surgery

Cromwell Hospital has become the first hospital in the UK and Europe to use the Apple Vision Pro as a surgical logistics and organizational tool.

Introduced to the hospital by eXeX, which specializes in artificial intelligence and spatial computing for surgical organization and workflow optimization, surgeons Fady Sedra and Syed Aftab, part of the Complex Spine group who operate out of Cromwell Hospital, used the technology to successfully perform two microsurgical spine procedures, according to Kate Bovell, chief operating officer at Cromwell Hospital.

“Working with eXeX to use the Apple Vision Pro has made a huge difference to the way we deliver care to our patients,” Aftab says. The software is seamless and has improved efficiency within the Complex Spine team. It’s a real privilege to be the first team in the UK and Europe to use this software within surgery and I’m looking forward to seeing how this technology advances and the impact it can have across hospitals in the UK.”
