Methods and systems are provided for aggregating features in multiple video frames to enhance tissue abnormality detection algorithms, wherein a first detection algorithm identifies an abnormality and aggregates adjacent video frames to create a more complete image for analysis by an artificial intelligence detection algorithm, the aggregation occurring in real time as the medical procedure is being performed.

System and methods for aggregating features in video frames to improve accuracy of AI detection algorithms

Systems and methods for improving endoscopy procedures are described that provide not only a conventional real time image of the view obtained by an endoscope, but in addition, a near real time 3D model and/or a 2D flattened image of an interior surface of an organ, which model and image may be processed using AI software to highlight potential tissue abnormalities for closer examination and/or biopsy during the procedure. A navigation module interacts with other system outputs to further assist the endoscopist with navigational indicia, e.g., landmarks and/or directional arrows, that enhance the endoscopists' spatial orientation, and/or may provide navigational guidance to the endoscopist to assist manipulation of the endoscope.

Comprehensive systems and methods for managing hair loss are provided which enable an individual experiencing hair loss, and/or the person consulting him or her, to manage it and to determine and efficiently plan any appropriate treatment options. Management of hair loss may comprise quantifying hair loss, determining what hair growth stimulation product or treatment to adopt and the best timing for such products and/or treatments, and allowing to track and manage any progress of the selected hair growth stimulation product or treatment.

Systems and methods for hair loss management

A variety of systems and methods are described which enable quantitative information to be extracted regarding automated procedures, including those performed at a high speed that may require a user input, without having to interrupt the procedure. In addition, these systems and methods serve to provide information on one or more parameters of the automated procedure, whereby they may be modified, if required, to improve the automated procedure or the results from such a procedure. The systems and methods provided are especially useful in automated hair transplantation procedures.

Methods and systems for modifying a parameter of an automated procedure

The present disclosure provides for methods, systems and instruments for creating a partial model of a head for use in planning or tracking a procedure, such as hair transplantation. The methodology allows for an accurate 3D representation to be quickly and efficiently generated of an identified portion of the head, not the entire head, from two or more 2D images, such as still images. According to the methodology of the present disclosure a 3D dome representation of the top portion of the head of a subject may be created based on the data extracted from one or more 2D images and/or a certain determined height dimension.

A system is disclosed for performing hair transplantation procedures. The system may include a robotic arm and a tool coupled to the robotic arm, the tool configured for hair harvesting, site making or hair implantation. The system further includes a touch screen user interface that supports touch gestures for efficiently creating and manipulating objects, such as reserved regions, that control the harvesting, site making, and/or implantation sites selected by the system. The user interface implements logic rules that use the context in which a touch gesture is performed to determine the type of operation intended. The touch interface substantially eliminates or reduces the need for a user to use a keyboard or mouse during the procedure.

Systems and methods for creating a treatment plan for cosmetic procedures are provided. The treatment plan automatically modifies or generates one or more proposed sites within a first body surface element based on one or more parameters in one or more second body surface elements. Various techniques and methods described in the application provide for improved planning of a procedure.

Systems and methods for planning hair transplantation

Methods and systems are provided for determining the location of procedure sites, for example hair implantation sites, the method and systems enabling a natural looking randomness to be maintained to achieve a desired density while avoiding previously created procedure sites and existing features.

Automated systems and methods for removing hair from a body surface is provided. The methods and systems are semi- or fully automated. Some of the steps of the methods comprise determining a hair growth phase and selecting hair follicles for depilation based at least in part of the identified hair growth phase. The energy delivery device may be attached to the robotic arm and directed to align with the hair follicle to be depilated.

Automated system and method for hair removal

Systems and methods for creating a treatment plan for cosmetic procedures, for example, a hair transplantation procedure, are provided. The treatment plan allows user to provide input on a proposed hair element using a free-hand drawing in a two-dimensional plane, and for the proposed hair element to be generated and displayed on a three-dimensional model of a body surface. Various techniques and methods described in the application provide for improved planning of a natural looking hair.

Methods and systems are provided for determining the location of procedure sites, for example hair implantation sites, the method and systems enabling a natural looking randomness to be maintained to achieve a desired density while avoiding previously created procedure sites and existing features. In reference to hair transplantation, methods and systems are provided that allow to account for any terminal and non-terminal hair to assist in selecting locations for hair harvesting or implantation.

One of the many factors that contribute to the successful outcome of a procedure, such as hair transplantation procedure, is the natural-looking appearance of hair throughout the patient's head. Methods and systems for generating a proposed procedure sites are provided, for example, based on desired density. Various methods for generating a hair transplantation treatment plan are also provided. Various techniques and methods described in the application provide for improved planning for natural looking hair.
