1 / 21 Wearable Augmented Reality Device for Users in a Hospital Setting During Tele-Assisted Procedures and Interaction Processes Through the Device

[001] The present invention relates to a wearable augmented reality device for use by at least one user in a hospital setting during tele-assisted procedures. More specifically, the present invention relates to a virtual reality or augmented reality device configured to integrate users located in different locations during a procedure in a hospital setting lacking a video tower. The present invention also relates to a virtual interaction process through said device. Description of the State of the Art

[002] This application falls within the technical field of augmented reality and virtual reality devices and systems applied and especially geared towards teleassistance and teleproctoring during procedures in a hospital environment. This is an interdisciplinary technological area that combines engineering, computer science, telecommunications and immersive technologies, aiming to enable interaction between surgeons located in different geographical locations during the execution of a specific procedure. Recent advances in connectivity, image processing, optical sensors and wearable interfaces have allowed the expansion of augmented reality applications in clinical contexts.

[003] In conventional procedures, it is common to require in-person supervision by a preceptor patient, an expert in a particular technique, to ensure that the surgical procedure proceeds without incident or even to resolve such incidents, should they occur. These professionals, however, have busy schedules. Petition 870260004420, dated 16 / 01 / 2026, page 6 / 32 2 / 21 tritas, which increases costs and makes it difficult to have a presence in multiple locations. In emergency or highly complex situations, the absence of a locally available specialist can compromise the clinical outcome. In these circumstances, the possibility of remote, real-time guidance would be highly beneficial, but the tools currently available have significant technical and operational limitations.

[004] Currently, communication between users in different locations is mostly carried out through telephone calls or conventional videoconferencing software. However, these systems are not capable of fully transmitting the context of that environment, the field conditions, and the interactions of the teams. The lack of integration between the physical environment and visual information limits the effectiveness of remote guidance, since critical details of anatomy, movement, and instrumentation cannot be transmitted accurately and simultaneously.

[005] The development of tele-assisted procedures—that is, performing procedures remotely using robotic systems—represented an important milestone in modern medicine. However, known robotic solutions require high-cost equipment, specialized professionals, and very low-latency network infrastructure, which limits their widespread adoption. The communication delay between the user's command and the robot's execution remains a critical technical challenge.

[006] In parallel, the concept of teleproctoring has been employed in training programs and supervised procedures, allowing specialists to monitor and guide such procedures remotely. However, this practice still faces significant technical obstacles, mainly due to the lack of devices capable of connecting a user in an integrated and immersive way. Petition 870260004420, dated 16 / 01 / 2026, page 7 / 32 3 / 21 remote and a tutored user, with complete sharing of the environment and the procedure field. The efficient integration of audio, video, and augmented reality in real time remains a challenge.

[007] Nowadays, cell phone cameras, cameras dedicated to digital filming, and camera systems from external equipment such as endoscopes and microscopes are connected to a computer with internet access via video conferencing software. Procedures are performed with a remote preceptor or proctor observing them on their computer. A microphone and speakers are necessary for the preceptor to provide instructions to the main user. This user needs to use headphones, computer speakers, or a cell phone. Therefore, they often need to take their eyes off the surgical screen to make visual contact with the remote user. Gestures can be used by the preceptor to assist the main user in order to show the type of material, the type of movement, or to demonstrate an important point shared in the video call.At least two cameras are needed, one to show the general environment and another to show the specific field or location of the procedure. These cameras require an operator (cameraman). In addition to the costs involved, the presence of the cameraman and their equipment occupies space in the hospital environment, hinders the circulation of other technicians, such as nurses, and can increase the chances of contamination of equipment and people involved in general.

[008] Thus, some solutions are known in the state of the art that seek to apply augmented reality technologies to practices in a hospital environment.

[009] The known solutions, therefore, still lack complete integration between capture, transmission and real-time interaction. Petition 870260004420, dated 16 / 01 / 2026, page 8 / 32 4 / 21 real between geographically separated teams. Most known solutions rely on intermediary computers, multiple cameras, and technical operators for equipment adjustment and image capture. These factors increase the cost and operational complexity, as well as representing an additional risk in terms of hygiene and mobility within that environment.

[0010] Furthermore, it is observed that none of the aforementioned documents comprehensively addresses the direct integration between external devices or equipment, such as endoscopic, hemodynamic, and fluoroscopy devices, with autonomous wearable augmented reality systems, nor the possibility of multiple virtual screens in the same field of vision of the main user. Similarly, known solutions do not address the simultaneous visualization of patient examinations, preceptor images, and the field in a single, immersive, and manipulable environment.

[0011] Thus, the state of the art still presents major limitations, especially regarding operational autonomy, multimodal integration, transmission latency, the need for additional hardware, and high implementation costs. These limitations indicate the need for more compact, versatile, and accessible solutions capable of providing immersive support and real-time bidirectional communication between users located in different locations.

[0012] Thus, in the state of the art, there is no wearable augmented reality device for users in a hospital environment undergoing tele-assisted or remote procedures that allows for integration between users, patient data, and the hospital environment, with remote collaboration between users in different locations, sharing the entire view of the main user with their preceptor (remote user), including the hospital environment.

[0013] More precisely, it is not observed in the state of the art Petition 870260004420, dated 16 / 01 / 2026, page 9 / 32 5 / 21 a wearable augmented reality device for users in a hospital environment during tele-assisted procedures with real-time sharing of the hospital or educational environment, compatible with specific 3D printed parts, an audio system integrated into a video system controlled by the main user, direct internet connection via the device itself, and audio and video sharing with the remote user (preceptor), real-time sharing of procedures in a hospital environment, connection between external equipment, for example used in endoscopies with a virtual screen without the need for a video tower.

Detailed Description of the Figures General description

[0021] Initial reference is made to figures 1 to 6. In general, the proposed invention is situated in the technical field of endoscopic surgery and telemedicine through a wearable virtual reality or augmented reality device (telesurgery / teleproctoring) for users in a hospital environment undergoing tele-assisted procedures.

[0022] The invention that is the subject of this patent application relates in general to a wearable augmented reality device 1 for users in a hospital environment undergoing tele-assisted procedures in the absence of an (external) video tower, the device being configured in such a way as to allow the integration of at least two users at a distance.

[0023] The proposed technology beneficially allows a user to perform a procedure without the need for an external video tower, screen, and camera capture system. The connection of the external equipment aligned with the invention as proposed is made directly to the device. Advantageously, this direct connection is much cheaper than the connection through the video tower as proposed in the prior art, also optimizes the space of the hospital environment (or surgical center), and allows multiple procedures to be performed simultaneously with better user ergonomics. Petition 870260004420, dated 16 / 01 / 2026, page 12 / 32 8 / 21

[0024] The proposed solution also allows a remote user - for example, a surgeon in a remote location - to have a real-time view of a procedure or act in a hospital environment, on a high-resolution 8 virtual screen, showing a visual field of the main user and additional screens that show important information such as, for example, patient exams.

[0025] In this aspect, in a configuration it is possible to see the layout of the hospital environment, anesthesia equipment, fluoroscopy, and thus provide assistance with real-time technical guidance to the surgeon performing the procedure.

[0026] The present invention can be incorporated (connected) to at least one external device, such as an endoscope. This configuration provides the user with a clearer view of the entire environment, with higher resolution (e.g., 4K) and adjustable to a preferred size (dimension), improving image quality, ergonomics, and efficiency during procedures.

[0027] Furthermore, the proposed invention can be implemented with a direct cable connection or with a wireless connection via an intermediary computer.

[0028] In addition, the present invention also relates to a process of virtual interaction between a main user 5 and a remote user 6 through a wearable augmented reality device 1.

[0029] All the features of the objects of the present invention will be described in detail below. Detailed description

[0030] Firstly, and with reference to figures 1 to 6, the present invention relates to a wearable augmented reality device 1 for tele-assisted procedures, configured to integrate users from a hospital environment, one of whom is a user Petition 870260004420, dated 16 / 01 / 2026, page 13 / 32 9 / 21 main river 5 and at least one other remote user 6, located in different geographical locations during said procedure.

[0031] For this purpose, device 1 has at least one lens 2, at least one connection splitter 3, at least one processor, network connection, so that the device is preferably of the immersive glasses, virtual reality glasses, 3D glasses or similar type, connected to an external device 4 and configured to be worn by a main user 5 and display the images captured by the external device 4 in real time on a virtual screen 8 generated in device 1 itself.

[0032] For example, in one embodiment, the device could be at least one of: Meta quest3, Play for Dreams or Apple Vision Pro.

[0033] Preferably, the external equipment 4 to which device 1 is connected has at least one camera or a set of cameras and, for example, could be endoscopy, hemodynamics or fluoroscopy equipment, i.e., equipment that is usually equipped with at least one set of cameras or microcamera at its end to capture and / or produce images in real time, allowing, for example, visualization of movements of internal structures of a patient's body or capture of fluoroscopy images in which hemodynamic catheters can be observed through the patient's body. An endoscopy procedure may be taken as an example of a preferred configuration or embodiment of the present invention throughout this description.

[0034] Alternatively, and barring any adaptations that may be necessary, it is also possible to use the present invention in any procedure in a hospital setting, such as abdominal laparoscopy, thoracic laparoscopy, endoscopic procedures of the gastrointestinal tract, otorhinolaryngology, ventricular endoscopy. Petition 870260004420, dated 16 / 01 / 2026, page 14 / 32 10 / 21 cerebral, urological procedures, procedures on the digestive system, biliary system, head, neck and skull base procedures, video-olaryngoscopy, third ventriculostomy, cardiac and cerebral revascularization, valve replacement, embolization of aneurysms and vascular malformations, endovascular treatments and various others, cited here only as possible and not limiting examples.

[0035] In any case, external equipment 4 has at least one camera and, alternatively, such a camera may be an integral part of device 1 itself. That is, in one possible configuration, device 1 itself has a set of cameras or at least one camera.

[0036] In any case, it is advantageously possible to use device 1, the object of the present invention, without the need for third parties - for example, a cameraman.

[0037] The number of cameras is not a limiting characteristic of the proposed invention, that is, it is possible that a smaller or larger number of cameras may be implemented in certain embodiments of the present invention, while still achieving the proposed objectives.

[0038] In turn, the virtual screen 8 as shown, for example, in figures 2, 3 and 4, is configured to display at least one immersive visualization of patient information, in a floating and interactive way, at least to the main user 5.

[0039] In the context of the present invention, a virtual screen is understood to be a screen created in the digital realm – not physical – such that it does not occupy physical space in the environment or space. This characteristic is a great advantage compared to physical screens that occupy space in the hospital environment.

[0040] Virtual screen 8 allows information to be displayed in various formats in this non-physical virtual environment, such as information Petition 870260004420, dated 16 / 01 / 2026, page 15 / 32 11 / 21 visual, textual, video, photos, dynamic images, static images, files, holograms and the like, as well as their combinations, in an immersive way for users, related for example to a patient.

[0041] Additionally, this virtual screen configuration 8 allows for the display of multiple smaller screens and the ability to interact with them through secondary platforms that will be described in more detail later, for example, moving images, changing their sizes with simple taps in the air, navigating between screens, etc.

[0042] Thus, virtual screen 8 is configured to display at least one immersive visualization of patient information as highlighted especially in figures 2 and 3, in a floating and interactive manner at least to the main user 5, through at least one secondary platform.

[0043] For this immersive visualization on virtual screen 8, device 1 can be connected to external equipment 4 directly or indirectly, as schematically illustrated in figure 6.

[0044] In a direct connection, which is preferred, as illustrated mainly in figures 1 and 5, the external equipment 4 (e.g., endoscope) is connected directly to the augmented reality device 1 through at least one connection splitter 3 (solid line in figure 6) and without a central tower. In this configuration, therefore, a cable connects a video output from the external equipment 4 directly to device 1 without passing through a central tower, thus allowing device 1 to display the captured images in real time without any delay or external interference. In this same mode, at least one additional piece of equipment 9 can be connected to device 1, such connection being therefore via connection splitter 3 or through a network (dashed line in figure 6). Petition 870260004420, dated 16 / 01 / 2026, page 16 / 32 12 / 21

[0045] For use with external equipment such as, for example, a disposable endoscope that already has a direct USB port, the connection can be made directly to the endoscope without going through a video tower and lighting hardware, as this external equipment 4 already has an adjustable LED light around its camera.

[0046] In a preferred configuration, the connection splitter 3 as shown in figure 1 used must allow capture of high-resolution image signals (e.g. Hagbis cables), and may even allow device 1 to be connected to an external power source, thus eliminating the need for batteries or cells.

[0047] An alternative is an indirect connection via the video tower (not shown). Although not a preferred embodiment, this is possible and can also be applied in the context of the present invention. The video tower, or endoscopy tower for example, may have HD or 4K image capture capabilities, for example. The indirect connection can be made via an HDMI cable, so that it is connected to device 1 with a video card with HDMI input and USB output, for example.

[0048] In an indirect connection not illustrated, the external equipment 4 is indirectly connected to the augmented reality device 1, i.e., the external equipment 4 is connected to a central tower via at least one cable and the central tower establishes communication (wired or wireless) with the augmented reality device 1, where the central tower is configured to process a signal received from the external equipment 4 and send it in a compatible manner to the augmented reality device 1 for visualization on the virtual screen 8. Here, the cables used must have specific inputs that are compatible or equivalent to each element.

[0049] More specifically, a video output from the central tower Petition 870260004420, dated 16 / 01 / 2026, page 17 / 32 13 / 21 is connected to another embedded or non-embedded device (additional equipment 9 such as a computer or processor, for example), configured to transmit the video signal received from the external equipment 4 to device 1.

[0050] In this configuration, device 1 is configured to process the received video signal through specific software or a program, ensuring compatibility and quality in the transmission.

[0051] In this embodiment, the central tower may have a light source, an image capture device with a preferably high-resolution camera, a television, and a set of HDMI connection input splitters that allow the image to be sent to numerous external components, such as a recorder, to the TV and especially to the augmented reality wearable device 1.

[0052] It is also a possible alternative to make a wireless connection, in this case with the aid of a computer and a high-speed wireless network to reduce any possible latency (delay) of the movements. In any case, the direct wired connection as described is preferable.

[0053] In any case, having a connection established according to one of the possible configurations described, the immersive visualization on the virtual screen 8 can occur through at least one secondary platform, which can interact with each other and at least with the main user 5, where each secondary platform is digitally configured with a specific function that can be related to the procedure in a hospital environment, the device being able to be configured with a set of functions through each secondary platform.

[0054] A first secondary platform is configured as a telephone module, which is configured to allow making calls Petition 870260004420, dated 16 / 01 / 2026, page 18 / 32 14 / 21 voice and / or video calls to at least one remote user 6.

[0055] As shown in Figure 4, the first secondary platform is further configured to allow remote user 6 to receive and view the images displayed on virtual screen 8 of device 1 in an immersive manner concurrently with the main user 5. That is, remote user 6 will view on their personal device exactly the same images displayed on virtual screen 8 of device 1 that are being viewed in situ by the main user 5, in their field of vision in the hospital environment.

[0056] For example, this first secondary platform can be implemented through software or platforms such as Whatsapp, Zoom, TeamViewer and others.

[0057] Furthermore, a second secondary platform is configured as a data module, set up to store and display patient information in a floating and interactive manner, where such information can be presented in at least one of the following: imaging exams, files, photos, text, graphs, tables and / or combinations thereof.

[0058] Such data and information may be obtained through preliminary examinations, such as imaging or blood tests, medical history taking, and manual entry of information in general.

[0059] The augmented reality device 1 is configured in such a way that the images captured by it and consequently seen by the main and remote users can be displayed with greater magnification, also allowing visualization and interaction on the virtual screen 8 within the device 1.

[0060] This means that the main user 5 can make certain movements in order to interact with the virtual screen 8 and the content displayed on it through secondary platforms, as shown in figure 5. For example, image magnification can be done using Petition 870260004420, dated 16 / 01 / 2026, page 19 / 32 15 / 21 making hand movements, amplifying it to the desired size. It is possible to access patient exams during the procedure, performing clicking movements on the virtual screen 8 of the device and displaying them on virtual screens while the user is physically / in person in the hospital environment.

[0061] As described, the present invention provides that device 1 is connectable in some way to an external electronic device or external (additional) apparatus. This feature beneficially allows the remote user 6 to participate remotely in the procedure, which implies that. To this end, he or she can receive a call on his or her own device - for example, a cell phone, smartphone, tablet, notebook, computer, iPad, augmented reality device, etc. - and interact with the main user remotely, including obtaining (viewing) exactly the same view as the main user (performing surgeon).

[0062] This remote interaction provides crucial support to the primary user 5 or performing surgeon, allowing the remote user 6 or preceptor to guide the steps of that procedure, adjust equipment, and provide technical recommendations, for example on the handling of the endoscope and surgical instruments. This assistance can occur at specific times or throughout the duration of the procedure.

[0063] As illustrated in figure 6, in addition to the connection with the remote user 6, device 1 may also connect to at least one or more additional equipment 9 which may be on-site - by direct connection via connection splitter 3 or additional cable - or remote - by indirect connection via network -, which may also be a television, screen, projector, hologram display and the like, in addition to the examples already mentioned previously.

[0064] Given the characteristics detailed previously, we have Petition 870260004420, dated 16 / 01 / 2026, page 20 / 32 16 / 21 although device 1 is compatible with a head support 7 to be placed on a user's head and position said device 1 in front of the eyes, allowing the main user 5 to wear said device 1.

[0065] It is also important to mention that device 1 as described and claimed herein may be compatible with robotic devices for surgical procedures such as, for example, the Da Vinci Intuitive Labs robot.

[0066] In addition to the wearable augmented reality device 1 for users in a hospital environment undergoing tele-assisted procedures, the present invention also includes a virtual interaction process between a main user 5 and a remote user 6 through said device 1, such that the device 1 and the process are compatible with each other. Thus, barring adaptations, the characteristics of the device already described also apply to the present process.

[0067] In general terms, the process is configured to be implemented through device 1 and comprises a series of steps that will be detailed later.

[0068] One step of the proposed process involves connecting device 1 to an external network, for example the internet, and to an external device 4, either directly - through at least one cable and without a central tower, which is a preferred configuration - or indirectly - where the external device 4 is connected to a central tower through at least one cable and the central tower establishes wireless communication with device 1, which is an alternative configuration - as already described.

[0069] One step of the proposed process involves displaying the images captured by the external equipment 4 in real time on a virtual screen 8 generated on the device 1 itself. Such display can be Petition 870260004420, dated 16 / 01 / 2026, page 21 / 32 17 / 21 done interactively with the main user 5 and can also be replicated to a remote user 6.

[0070] Thus, it is also a step in the proposed process to display at least one immersive visualization of a patient's information, in a floating and interactive way, at least to the main user 5, through at least one secondary platform, which have already been described previously, in which such platforms act in specific stages of the proposed process.

[0071] A step of making voice and / or video calls to at least one remote user 6 through a first secondary platform configured as a telephone module, wherein the first secondary platform is further configured to allow the remote user 6 to receive and view the images displayed on the virtual screen 8 of the device 1 in an immersive manner simultaneously with the main user 5. Here, high-resolution patient information, such as examinations, may also be displayed.

[0072] In one embodiment, the process also includes a step of recording (storing) at least the virtual screen 8 and / or the image obtained by the external equipment 4 through the second secondary platform.

[0073] An additional step of the proposed process also involves processing, through a processor, a signal received from the external equipment 4 and sending it in a compatible manner to the augmented reality device 1 for display on its virtual screen 8.

[0074] It is a further step of the proposed method to attach device 1 to a head support 7, so that said device 1 can be worn by a primary user 5 like glasses.

[0075] The process described is therefore compatible with the characteristics of device 1 also described herein and, in one configuration, they comprise similar and compatible characteristics and Petition 870260004420, dated 16 / 01 / 2026, page 22 / 32 18 / 21 achieve the advantages detailed here.

[0076] Additionally, a possible embodiment of the present invention relates to a teaching environment, in which the proposed invention can be used for training a specific procedure without it actually occurring on a real human patient, that is, before it happens and outside of a real hospital environment, but rather in a didactic environment.

[0077] To this end, device 1 and external equipment 4 are connected to a specific simulator, which in turn reproduces, by means of 3D printing, parts identical to the anatomy of a given structure of the human body to be studied and which may be the subject of a procedure in a real hospital setting in the future. For example, a 3D print of the patient's anatomy is made for study before the actual procedure is performed.

[0078] In this implementation, there is a preliminary capture of images of the patient, for example, through tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, which are subsequently converted into a format compatible with 3D printing software such as STL. A printer then prints a three-dimensional physical piece of a specific anatomical region of the patient that will undergo the procedure. The physical model created is manufactured to reproduce the exact dimensions of that patient, and the model is taken to a simulation environment with structures specific to this type of study - for example, a laboratory with surgical forceps similar to those used in a hospital setting.

[0079] In this way, the invention can be implemented as a simulator or training platform, used for example for courses, skill improvement and the like. In this case, the remote user 6 could be a tutor and the main user 5 a student, for example. Petition 870260004420, dated 16 / 01 / 2026, page 23 / 32 19 / 21

[0080] Finally, it is understood that the description of some elements and characteristics of the system and method proposed in the present invention should not be considered as limiting characteristics of the invention.

[0081] For example, the teachings of the present invention can be applied not only to professional medical users in a hospital setting, but also in a learning, tutoring, mentoring, training and similar context.

[0082] Furthermore, the teachings of the present invention can be applied to more than one procedure in a hospital setting. Advantages of the proposed invention
