The Salamanca company ARSOFT, located in the Science Park of the University of Salamanca and dedicated to development withVirtual, augmented and mixed reality solutions for sectors such as medicine or industry, it was awarded in the 2023 Innovators Awards, awarded by the newspaper “El Mundo de Castilla y León” with the Iberaval Award for the best ICT project for the NextMed initiative.

NextMed is a solution designed for the study of medical images using technologies related to virtual reality, augmented reality and mixed reality. Through segmentation and automatic generation of 3D models, NextMed helps medical professionals study and manipulate a 3D model of organs that require intervention. In this way, and thanks to the three-dimensional measurement, the precision and safety of the surgeon before the operation is increased, as the system helps him to understand what the structures and tissues of his patients are.

It is the only industrialized platform on the market that covers the entire process, from obtaining medical images and automatic segmentation, thanks to artificial vision algorithms implemented by the ARSOFT team, to their visualization with augmented reality and virtual reality, which allows for surgical planning in simulated conditions.
