Apple's Vision Pro is a new tool that allows doctors and surgeons to view 3D anatomy scans as interactive holograms.
The device can be used for clinical education, surgical planning and training, medical imaging and behavioral health.
Apple's Vision Pro is a new tool that has the potential to revolutionize healthcare. The device, which was first introduced in the US last month, allows doctors and surgeons to view 3D anatomy scans as interactive holograms. This technology can be used for clinical education, surgical planning and training, medical imaging and behavioral health.
One of the most exciting applications of Apple's Vision Pro is in surgery. A team at Cromwell Hospital in London recently strapped on the $3,500 device during two spinal surgeries. The doctors were able to view a patient's anatomy from their own living room and even zoom into details of clinical images and rotate renderings of the human body.
The technology is also being used for medical training. For example, eXeX has developed software that allows surgeons to use Apple Vision Pro during surgery. This software makes it easier for doctors to plan surgeries and monitor progress in real-time. The app can be used with Stryker's Mako SmartRobotics system, which is designed for total hip replacement surgery.
Other apps are being developed specifically for the Apple Vision Pro device. Fundamental Surgery offers surgical training through virtual reality, while Cedars-Sinai provides an app that helps patients with mental health support through meditation and deep breathing exercises.

The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that doctors are calling the Apple Vision Pro a game-changing tool for surgery when there is no evidence to support this claim. Secondly, the article quotes Syed Aftab as saying that working with eXeX and using the Apple Vision Pro has made a huge difference in their ability to deliver care to patients, but it does not provide any specific examples of how this technology improved patient outcomes or was used during surgery. Thirdly, while there are several mentions of other companies developing apps for medical training and education with the Apple Vision Pro, none of these apps have been approved by regulatory bodies such as the FDA for use in clinical settings.
Syed Aftab's statement about how working with eXeX and using the Apple Vision Pro has made a huge difference in their ability to deliver care to patients is not supported by specific examples of improved patient outcomes or use during surgery.

Fallacies
(70%)
The article contains several examples of informal fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority when they quote Syed Aftab saying that the device has made a huge difference in their care delivery and is looking forward to seeing how it advances. This statement implies that Syed Aftab's opinion should be taken as fact, which is not necessarily true. Additionally, the article contains inflammatory rhetoric when they describe eXeX's software as being developed for surgeons and a real privilege to be the first team in Europe to use it. This statement implies that using this technology makes Syed Aftab and his colleagues better than other teams who have not used it, which is not necessarily true.

The article highlights how Apple Vision Pro has opened up new opportunities for health app developers to create experiences that can positively impact people's lives. The author mentions several examples of apps in the healthcare and wellness space such as Stryker’s myMako, Boston Children’s Hospital's CyranoHealth, and Epic Systems' Epic Spatial Computing Concept. These apps use spatial computing to revolutionize surgical planning, education, and outcomes. The author also mentions how these experiences can be accessed through Apple Vision Pro or iPhone.

The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that a surgical team at a UK hospital used Apple's Vision Pro headset to help execute a medical procedure. However, there is no evidence provided to support this claim and it could be possible that the device was not actually used during surgery but rather for training purposes or other non-medical activities. Secondly, the article mentions several healthcare apps compatible with the Apple Vision Pro device that have become available in recent months. These apps include Stryker's Mako SmartRobotics and Fundamental Surgery's surgical training app, as well as Cedars-Sinai's mental health support app. However, there is no information provided on the effectiveness or accuracy of these apps or their impact on patient outcomes. Finally, the article quotes Susan Prescott from Apple stating that they are thrilled to see the incredible apps being developed for Apple Vision Pro. This statement could be seen as an attempt to manipulate readers into believing that all of these apps are high-quality and effective when there is no evidence provided to support this claim.
