Monterrey, NL. The Christus Muguerza Group confirms its commitment to innovation and technological development in medical procedures. The organization has applied Artificial Intelligence (AI) in various fields, combined augmented reality with telemedicine and performed holo surgeries. In addition, they have a team specialized in information technologies who have developed their own cloud, ensuring that their electronic clinical record system is 100% working.
“We have made significant progress, we have applied AI in different areas, we are currently doing radiology with AI, we are taking care of patients; Nursing is deploying a care project through augmented reality, we are doing surgeries with augmented reality with holo surgery and in telemedicine we are progressing at least a little because it is taking off, because people feel if they don’t see they the doctor in front of them. , they will not “It is being taken care of,” Horacio Garza Ghio, general director of the Christus Muguerza group, told El Economista.
He cited an example of how augmented reality is combined with telemedicine: “Imagine for us that there is a doctor in Linares, Nuevo León and he needs the help of a specialist with more experience. The attending doctor, with augmented reality glasses, and through digital transmission and the Internet, transmits what he sees through the screen of the consulting doctor, the doctor who is in Monterrey or Chihuahua, looking at what the another doctor, is transmitted on a monitor the moment he engages with the augmented reality glasses.
The first surgery assisted by Augmented Reality
It should be remembered that Christus Muguerza announced in February 2020 that he performed the first surgery with the help of Augmented Reality and the first remote holo surgery at the hospitals of Betania and UPAEP, located in the city of Puebla.
This was made possible through collaboration between the Christus Health Center of Excellence and Innovation and the corporate Skye Group, as well as Certa Technologies, an Accenture Mexico consultancy, using the BedsideXR platform.
This platform addresses the need for real-time patient information at the time of surgery, being within timely reach of the surgeon, reducing operating room times, nosocomial infection risks and generating more interaction the doctor prefers the relevant information during the surgery. procedure.
Garza Ghio explained how holo surgery works: “There are two doctors in different hospitals, at point A the most experienced surgeon and at point B the surgeon operating on the patient. “Surgeon A generates a hologram with augmented reality and begins to perform the surgery in a hologram that he transmits over the Internet to Surgeon B, who replicates it, it seems like science fiction.”
Promote the creation of specialized human capital
The director of Grupo Christus Muguerza explained that they build their own health cloud, and through the cloud they have extended technological functionalities based on digital technology to different parts of the country, which makes it possible to process data at high speed.
Christus Muguerza has six medical units in Nuevo León: Hospital Sur, Hospital de Alta Especialidad, San Nicolás de los Garza, Clínica San Pedro Garza García, Hospital Conchita and Vidriera. He also has two others, Betania and UPAEP in Puebla; in Chihuahua, Reynosa, Saltillo, León and Mérida.
Regarding human capital specialized in Information and Communication Technologies, he said: “There is definitely not a lot of talent, but we are encouraging universities to start incorporating the skills into their curriculum plans to train biomedical engineers, doctors and nurses .
In addition, “we are training our staff, by sending them outside the country, and also with specific training and education plans with the help of very large companies such as Amazon Web Services (AWS),” the manager emphasized.
Although he did not give a figure that the group allocates for technological development, he emphasized that digital transformation is a priority at Christus Muguerza, “we are still the only health system that has 100% digital hospitals.”
According to data from the Statista Research Department, Christus Muguerza Hospital of Advanced Specialty is considered one of the 10 best hospital institutions in the country, with a score of 82.39 percent.
