• Plan the surgical approach

• Visualize hidden vascular and bone structures

• Localize instrumentation and implants

• Project drilling and cutting guides" (Connolly, 2024).

AR is also being used to train medical students, residents, and fellows. It enables them to view internal anatomy and implant positioning in three dimensions (rather than just 2D textbook images), which can accelerate learning and insight.

1. Enhanced visualization of organs, bones, vessels, or tumors in 3D.

2. Improved accuracy and precision of cuts, drilling, or placement of implants.

3. Patients can actually view AR reconstructions of their anatomy and surgical plans, thus improving informed consent and helping to reduce anxiety about the procedure.

4. AR offers interactive 3D teaching for students and residents, that facilitates virtual practice on real anatomy before touching a patient.

5. Shorter surgery times with the use of AR aiding the surgeons in making decisions with real time raw data.

1. High cost and accessibility- this type of technology can be very expensive and there is limited availability in lower resource/income hospitals or countries.

2. Accuracy and reliability of the technology. There could be issues such as- display lagging, image drift, poor resolution, or misalignment of the images which could affect accuracy.

3. There is a learning curve for using such new technology that has not been introduced or practiced with prior. Surgeons and staff require speciality training to use AR, which can slow the rate at which the technology is adopted and put into practice.

4. The use of the headset itself in terms of wearability and battery life. These headsets can be heavy or uncomfortable to wear after a while, or can have limited battery life seeing as they are so new, which could impact lengthier surgeries.

5. Lastly, there must be drawn into question that ethical and legal side of using such technology. What happens if the system were to malfunction mid surgery? Informed consent also must now include risks related to AR assisted procedures.

1. Being strategic allows me to create alternative ways to proceed when others in the team may feel like there is no way forward.

2. Having input as a strength means that I like to collect and archive information, which in turn means I could share resources, recommend helpful tools, and encourage exploration of new ideas or methods for the team.

3. The strength of woo means to enjoy breaking the ice and making a connection with other people. This can be used to help boost morale and help people feel included and valued, as well as foster a high trusting environment.

4. Ideation strength means to be fascinated by new ideas, and to be able to find connections between seemingly disparate phenomena. Using ideation as a strength, I could encourage innovation and challenge the team to think differently.

5. Lastly is learner, which means to have a great desire to learn and want to continuously improve. Using this for the team could allow me to create an inspiring environment where it feels nonthreatening to not know everything, as long as they are willing to learn.

Meet the team:

1. Randall – Responsibility: Using his strength of responsibility, Randall would make a great team member because he would be dependable, honest, and loyal.

2. Alice – Achiever: Alice would be a great asset to the team in using her strength of achiever to bring a strong work ethic and motivation.

3. Amelia – Adaptability: Being adaptable can be very important when working in a group or team setting, Amelia would be a good team member for her capability to change and can shift gears easily, especially under pressure.

4. Matthew – Maximizer: Adding Matthew to the team with his strength of maximizer would be beneficial because he can focus on strengths in a way to stimulate personal and group growth, which would elevate the overall team performance.

5. Carter – Communication: Carter's strength of communication would help foster the group's overall efficiency by bringing clarity and enthusiasm onboard.
