Skylight™ is a projection-based clinical guidance platform that gives doctors a 'heads-up display' of a patient's internal anatomy, shown directly on the body. No headsets, goggles, or external monitors required. The system enables millimeter-level accuracy for procedures ranging from spine surgery to cancer biopsies, helping doctors work more precisely and efficiently..
Skylight™ 是一个基于投影的临床指导平台,为医生提供患者内部解剖结构的“抬头显示”,直接投射在身体上。无需头戴设备、护目镜或外部显示器。该系统可实现从脊柱手术到癌症活检等程序的毫米级精度,帮助医生更精确、高效地工作。
'Surgery is one of the highest-stakes environments in the world, and even small mistakes can have life-changing consequences,' said
“手术是世界上风险最高的环境之一,即使是很小的错误也可能带来改变一生的后果,”
Dr. James Hu, co-founder and co-CEO
詹姆斯·胡博士,联合创始人兼联席首席执行官
. 'We built Skylight to help doctors avoid those errors, streamline every step, and operate with millimeter-level precision where it matters most.'
“我们构建了Skylight,以帮助医生避免这些错误,简化每一步,并在最关键的部位以毫米级的精度进行操作。”
The need is urgent: 1 in 5 spine surgeries requires a revision, 1 in 10 biopsies misses a cancer diagnosis, and 1 in 2 pain interventions fails to relieve symptoms. These inefficiencies cost the U.S. healthcare system more than $20 billion annually, not to mention the toll on patients' health and quality of life..
需求十分迫切:五分之一的脊柱手术需要翻修,十分之一的活检会漏诊癌症,一半的疼痛干预措施未能缓解症状。这些低效问题每年给美国医疗系统造成超过 200 亿美元的损失,更不用说对患者健康和生活质量的影响了。
How Skylight Works
天窗的工作原理
The platform combines two proprietary technologies:
该平台结合了两项专有技术:
SkinMatch™ — A non-invasive patient tracking system using adhesive markers (SkinDots™) and computer vision algorithms to align medical images with the patient's anatomy in real time.
SkinMatch™ — 使用粘性标记(SkinDots™)和计算机视觉算法的非侵入式患者追踪系统,可实时将医学影像与患者的解剖结构对齐。
LightScreen™ — A depth-adaptive projection system that displays key anatomical details directly on the patient's skin, adjusting dynamically for movement and contours.
LightScreen™ — 一种深度自适应投影系统,可将关键解剖细节直接显示在患者皮肤上,并根据移动和轮廓动态调整。
Now, doctors can perform procedures faster, with greater confidence, and without the cognitive burden of switching between monitors and the operative field.
现在,医生可以更快地进行手术,更加自信,并且无需在显示器和手术区域之间切换的认知负担。
Expanding the Standard of Care
扩展护理标准
Originally developed for spine surgery, Skylight is built to adapt across a broad range of procedures where precision and speed are critical, such as cancer biopsy. Its flexible design allows seamless integration into different clinical workflows, removing barriers to adoption and accelerating impact in the operating room..
最初为脊柱手术开发的Skylight能够适应各种对精度和速度要求极高的手术流程,例如癌症活检。其灵活的设计可以无缝融入不同的临床工作流程,消除采用障碍,加速在手术室中的影响。
'Our mission from day one has been to build technology that doctors actually want to use and to deliver it in a way that makes adoption effortless,' said
“我们的使命从一开始就一直是开发医生真正想要使用的技术,并以一种让采用变得毫不费力的方式交付,”
Eldrick Millares, co-founder and co-CEO of Illuminant
埃尔德里克·米拉雷斯,Illuminant联合创始人兼联席首席执行官
. 'With Skylight, we're combining clinical impact with a business model that gets this into operating rooms quickly and sustainably.'
“通过Skylight,我们正在将临床影响与一种能够快速且可持续地将其引入手术室的商业模式结合起来。”

Illuminant is led by Stanford-trained innovators with decades of combined experience in medtech, computer vision, and high-performance hardware. Co-founder and co-CEO Eldrick Millares has built and scaled advanced sensing systems at startups and at Apple. Co-founder and Co-CEO Dr. James Hu earned his BS in Bioengineering from Stanford and his MD from UC Irvine, giving him first hand insight into both the technical and clinical challenges that precision interventions needed.
Illuminant 由斯坦福大学培养的创新者领导,他们在医疗技术、计算机视觉和高性能硬件领域拥有数十年的综合经验。联合创始人兼联合首席执行官埃尔德里克·米拉雷斯曾在初创公司和苹果公司构建并扩展了先进的传感系统。联合创始人兼联合首席执行官詹姆斯·胡博士在斯坦福大学获得生物工程学士学位,并在加州大学欧文分校获得医学博士学位,这使他对精准干预所需的技术和临床挑战都有直接的洞察。
Together, they've assembled a multidisciplinary team of clinical advisors, medtech veterans, and world-class engineers to deliver a category-defining platform that integrates seamlessly into the operating room..
他们共同组建了一支由临床顾问、医疗技术资深人士和世界级工程师组成的多学科团队,以打造一个能够无缝集成到手术室的定义类别的平台。
'Illuminant is tackling one of the most persistent challenges in modern medicine with a solution that is both technically elegant and clinically impactful,' said Max Knapp, Managing Director at Wing 2 Wing Ventures. 'The team's ability to translate cutting-edge research into a platform that fits seamlessly into clinical practice positions them to redefine the standard of care worldwide.'.
“伊卢米纳特公司正在用一种技术上优雅且临床影响深远的解决方案,应对现代医学中最持久的挑战之一,” Wing 2 Wing Ventures 的董事总经理马克斯·克纳普表示。“该团队将前沿研究转化为无缝融入临床实践的平台的能力,使他们有望重新定义全球护理标准。”
