Emerging Clinical Applications of Medical Extended Reality (MXR)

Jennifer N. Avari Silva, Washington Univ. in St. Louis (United States)

With the increased availability of extended reality (XR) devices in the marketplace, there has been a rapid development of medical XR applications spanning from education, training, rehabilitation, pre-procedural planning, and intra-procedural use. We will explore various use case to understand the importance of technology-use case matches and focus on intra-procedural use cases which generally have the highest risk to patient and medical provider but may have the most sizable impact on benefit to patient and procedure.

Jennifer Silva is Director of Pediatric Electrophysiology and Associate Professor of Pediatrics and Biomedical Engineering at Washington University School of Medicine/St. Louis Children’s Hospital, and serves as the Faculty Fellow in Entrepreneurship for Washington University SOM. She serves on committees within the Heart Rhythm Society (Chair, Women in Electrophysiology; Vice-Chair, Growth and Leadership Opportunity for Women in Electrophysiology; Production Team, HRX; Member, Membership Committee) and Pediatric and Congenital Electrophysiology Society (Member, Finance Committee), and serves on the NIH-SBIR study section for Cardiovascular Innovation. Jennifer also serves on the Editorial Board of Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology, Heart Rhythm O2, and Cardiovascular Digital Health journals.
The scope of her research has been on developing and identifying clinical applications of new and emerging technologies within cardiac electrophysiology, particularly in the scope of wearable and advanced wearable technologies, including the extended realities.
Additionally, Jennifer is the co-inventor and co-founder of SentiAR, Inc, a venture-backed software device spinout from Washington University which is developing the first mixed reality platform to display intraprocedural 3-dimensional holographic visualization of a patient’s cardiac anatomy with real time catheter locations with submission to the FDA in 2019. In 2018, the company received a NIH-SBIR award for $2.2M and just closed a $5.1M Series A Round. She has worked with several medical device companies including AliveCor, St Jude Medical/Abbott, and Medtronic regarding development and implementation of novel technologies targeted to unmet clinical needs and development of regulatory pathways.

SPIE Medical Imaging 50th Anniversary Panel Discussion



This year marks the 50th anniversary of the SPIE Medical Imaging symposium. The first meeting of its kind was Application of Optical Instrumentation in Medicine, held in Chicago, IL, in November of 1972. It was organized by William Zarnstorff, William Hendee, and Paul Carson, cosponsored by the Bureau of Radiological Health, and timed to immediately follow that year’s RSNA meeting. Since that first conference, SPIE Medical Imaging (MI) has grown from a single-track meeting with fewer than 100 authors to a multi-track conference with over one thousand attendees from around the world. An upcoming special issue of the Journal of Medical Imaging will honor this remarkable anniversary. In this session, a panel of long-time attendees to SPIE Medical Imaging will discuss and celebrate how we have evolved and grown, recalling historical highlights with a few of the many contributions to medical imaging that were showcased at the meeting over the years.
