Sunnybrook Health Science Centre in Toronto is using the Xbox Kinect gaming system in operating rooms. How is it useful? Well, CBS News has reported on the benefits of such a product right inside the operating room.
The gaming system would allow the surgeons to review imaging scans right from the operating room. This alleviates the possible hygiene problem of maintaining a germ free operating room, which doctor’s sometimes face when it was necessary to leave the OR to review or gather additional information.
