WE'VE

GOT

YOUR

BACK!

Tapping in to the powers of artificial intelligence (AI), we enable accurate and safe spine surgeries to the benefit of both patients and surgeons.

Our vision is to make navigation-guided surgery available to any patient in any operating room - whether big or small.

​

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: Pathkeeper’s innovative solution includes a 3D camera installed in the OR that tracks the patients and the surgeon’s tools during the entire surgery. A sophisticated AI engine combines these images with a pre-surgery CT scan to allow the surgeon ‘insight’ into the patient’s spine.

OUR STORY

OUR SOLUTION

       UNIQUE FEATURES:

• Automatic registration and image fusion to MRI and X-ray

• Automatic spine detection and measurements

• Automatic vertebrae analysis

• Bone density and strength mechanical analysis 

• Margins analysis

• Sagittarius balance analysis using combined standing up X-rays and CT scan

• Screen position recommendation  

USER FRIENDLY:

Pathkeeper’s system is seamlessly installed in the OR and. After a very short initial registration process, does not require the physician to change workflow.

THE SMALLER THE BETTER: Pathkeeper’s systems was designed to allow for unprecedented accuracy in order to enable navigation, even when operating on smaller vertebras. But, we have taken this one step further and also allowed our system to be installed in smaller operation rooms, for example in Ambulatory Surgery Centers. As so, Pathkeeper’s solution is particularly suitable for pediatric spine surgeries and for surgeries on the upper parts of the adult spine, whether these are performed in high volume hospitals or smaller Ambulatory Surgery Centers.

OUR SOLUTION

PATHKEEPER’s solution was developed to enable navigation-based surgery in both hospitals and in all size clinics -

at a fraction of the cost of existing solutions.

NO ADDITIONAL RADIATION:

Ionizing radiation in healthcare is a necessary evil. But, as opposed to other navigation solutions, Pathkeeper does not require a CT machine in the OR, nor does it require the surgeon to perform multiple CT scans during the surgery. Pathkeeper’s solution is solely based on a pre-surgery CT scan and the real time tracking offered after the initial registration process.

A SAFER PATH:

COST EFFICIENT:

Pathkeeper’s solution is highly cost-efficient for both high and low-volume facilities.

THE SMALLER

THE BETTER:

Pathkeeper’s system was developed to provide accuracy even when working on smaller vertebras. So whether it’s a pediatric case, or an upper spine case, Pathkeeper will deliver.

ACCURACY:

Pathkeeper’s solution offers unprecedented accuracy starting with an initial innovative registration process of both the patient’s position and individual tools and following with real-time tracking of all elements.   

HOSPITALS AND CLINICS:

The low cost of installation and maintenance makes Pathkeeper's solution suitable for both hospitals and clinics.
