Healthcare
From surgery assistance to remote proctoring; using Rods&Cones’ remote assistance services, healthcare professionals can demonstrate or attend live surgeries giving them a close up view without the need for a production team. Moreover, our pragmatic solution can be used across a wide range of medical services.

MedTech
By providing their customers with remote access services for the OR, medical device reps can ‘see’ through the eyes of the surgeon, instrumentalist nurse, or any healthcare professional using the smartglasses.
Thanks to this powerful digital solution, they can continue to increase their service offering by working closely with hospitals in need of ongoing support before, during, and after surgical interventions.

What Our Clients Say
Dr. Usama Hamdan
FICS, Co-founder and President of the Global Smile Foundation - Westwood, Massachusetts, United States
“I was guiding one of my colleagues on the marking of the cleft lip revision. Because he’s a very well-established and experienced CF plastic surgeon, he was able to follow my guidance.”
Dr. Bugra Sezen
Associate Professor - Yedikule Thoracic Surgery And Chest Diseases, Istanbul, Turkey
“I like the visOR because we have the chance to take the operating sites outside the OR and the endoscopic system.”
Dr. David Nellensteijn
Surgeon - St. Elizabeth Hospital, Curaçao
“I think Rods&Cones is a useful tool in the acute phases as a medium to get connected. With information going back and forth, we can improve performance during operations and therefore save lives.”
Dr. Sergio Salido
General and Digestive System Surgeon - Fundación Jiménez Díaz, Spain
“It’s an immersive experience. Our colleagues have been able to follow the surgery from their houses and other hospitals and have the same view as if it would be them doing the surgery.”
Dr. Jörg Zehetner
Professor of Surgery - Klinik Beau-Site Hirslanden Bern, Switzerland
“It’s a safe and effective tool to teach and guide during a case via the (smart) glasses by showing the important steps using voice, words, pictures, or by pointing on the screen. I used the technology remotely from my office. It enables off-site teaching and gives the feeling of being in the room with the surgeon.”
Dr. Xavier Berard
Professor of Vascular & Endovascular Surgery - Hôpital Pellegrin, CHU de Bordeaux, France
“With (Rods&Cones), you have the possibility to record surgery, and stream it, if needed. It’s a powerful tool for education.”
