Rods & Cones, on the other hand, provide an end-to-end platform to bring medical professionals, product specialists, and surgeons together, wherever they are in the world. Notably, the platform is compliant with both HIPAA and GDPR regulations. The platform now includes the M4000 and M400 smart glasses now, thanks to the partnership with Vuzix.
Through a 13 MP phased detect auto-focus camera, the Rods & Cones platform allows frontline surgeons in the operating room and those in other medical environments to collaborate and broadcast imagery to others wherever they are. With this technology, remote platform users can potentially triple the number of surgeries they can safely attend each day. The companies believe there are additional use cases for things like expert escalation and the training of new employees.
