Sparta Group has announced that it has entered a strategic partnership with Parametric Design Canada Inc. The alliance has been forged to allow the companies to elevate Sparta's Autonomous Medicine Project to a whole new level with Augmented Reality (AR) visors. When complete, the "Doc-in-a-Box" project is anticipated to meet all the requirements for a Category 4 Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) and offer the additional benefits of Augmented Reality (AR) integration. Through this joint effort, the companies intend to offer healthcare professionals a decision support medical device that is Health Canada/FDA approved providing autonomous diagnosis of illness and selection of treatment coupled to the enhanced, interactive availability of a real-world environment with AR glasses.

As designed, the system will enable the sharing of live streams with remote doctors for immediate support and decision-making. The integration of Parametric Design Canada Inc.'s sophisticated AR application can also offer vital assistance in both medical training and treatment diagnosis. Doc-in-a-Box is intended to help doctors, nurses or other healthcare professionals provide their patients with better service more efficiently.

The system supports a just-in-time access to the latest medical evidence base for over 2,500 indications and treatment options thus providing patients with the best medical care immediately available and ensuring the highest standard of medical practice. Management from both companies have said they are "thrilled" to be merging their expertise to develop a technology that will make high-quality medical care more accessible, especially in remote areas of the world and in challenging environments like space exploration, where traditional healthcare is limited. Augmented reality (AR) opens a whole new way to interact with the world around through digital visual elements, sounds, and other sensory stimuli.

Parametric Design Canada has experience in applying AR to multiple industries.
