What the studies report

  • “The HJPHub system enabled three-dimensional assessment of complex anatomy, facilitating optimal transseptal puncture site selection.”

    Gajdusek 2026 · Case report · n: 1 patient

  • “Feedback highlighted its comfort, confidence enhancement, and user-friendliness.”

    Agnino 2025 · Feasibility study

  • “The incision site marking made using HoloLens® 2 differed by one intercostal space from the marking made using a conventional surgeon's mental reconstructed image from the patient's preoperative imaging and was found to be a more appropriate site of entry”

    Aye 2025 · Case series · n: 3 patients

  • “Both preoperatively and intraoperatively, the tool augmented spatial orientation and facilitated precise stenosis localization, thereby enhancing the surgeon's operative proficiency.”
