Cloud-based Collaboration Platform for Orthognatic Surgical Planning

Abstract

Many medical departments use several multi-disciplinary technologies to support the planning of the surgery. For complex operations a collaboration between different experts can improve the success rate, but the tools are mostly on-premises software and limit the good cooperation. In this case, the orthognathic and dental surgery uses 3D and CT scans to plan the surgery beforehand by making use of 3D image processing, visualization and planning tools. We researched the possibility to create an online cloud-based platform to run the currently used surgical planning tools to improve the collaboration between several experts. We achieved multiple two-factor authentication user logins for security, simultaneous surgical planning sessions for collaboration and lightweight multi-platform support for existing technologies.
