About

Dr. Jacobien H. F. Oosterhoff is a leading researcher at the intersection of digital health and spine surgery, with a primary focus on augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and artificial intelligence. Her most influential work, "Augmented and virtual reality in spine surgery, current applications and future potentials" (2021), has garnered 224 citations, establishing her as a key voice in the field. This paper systematically reviews how AR and VR technologies are transforming surgical planning, intraoperative navigation, and training, highlighting their potential to improve precision and reduce complications. Dr. Oosterhoff also explores the role of deep learning in spine surgery, contributing to the growing body of evidence on AI-driven diagnostics and outcome prediction. Her research bridges the gap between cutting-edge technology and clinical practice, offering practical insights for surgeons and engineers alike. Through her work, she has helped define the future of minimally invasive, data-driven spine care, making her a sought-after collaborator and speaker. Her contributions are particularly valuable for students and researchers interested in the convergence of computer science and orthopedics.
