IRIS XR News

Northwell LIJ Valley Stream Hospital is participating in a pilot program for a new technology called IRIS XR.

IRIS XR is a collaborative augmented reality platform that will be used to simulate training for medical procedures chosen by the hospital staff. This innovative system allows surgeons, nurses, and other OR staff to participate in real-time training together, regardless of location. Participants can be physically present in the operating room or join remotely using their phones, tablets, or even special glasses. This pilot program has the potential to revolutionize medical training by providing a more immersive and collaborative learning experience.

ABOUT OUR CEO

Nicholas Rafkind

Nick Rafkind's career began at 21st Century Fox in sales development, where he spent 12 years, eventually leading digital ad sales teams. During this time, a passion for emerging technologies ignited, and augmented reality (AR) captured his interest.

After Fox, he transitioned to consulting for five (AR/VR) companies, leveraging his expertise in sales, marketing, and management. Notably, two of these companies were acquired by Snapchat, and a third one appointed him as their founding president. He steered this company to success until its acquisition by the Beijing Culture Fund.

Through these experiences, he identified a key limitation in the augmented reality (AR) market: an overemphasis on individual experiences limited to specific devices. This insight sparked the creation of IRIS, a real-time, collaborative AR software. Designed with accessibility in mind, IRIS, alongside his technological architect and co-founder Steve Lukas, allows users to experience AR together across any device.

What do healthcare professionals say?

Luke Burton

Medical device representative at Arthrex

I'm very enthusiastic about the potential of IRIS XR. Their augmented reality training platform allows surgeons to observe new procedures repeatedly, regardless of location or time. Additionally, it trains the entire operating room team, improving communication during procedures and reducing errors.
