About

Hisham Iqbal is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of augmented reality (AR) and robotic-assisted orthopaedic surgery. His work focuses on reducing cognitive burden in the operating room by integrating AR into computer-assisted surgical workflows. In his most cited study, "Augmented reality in robotic assisted orthopaedic surgery: A pilot study" (2021, 41 citations), Iqbal demonstrated how AR can generate composite medical views that streamline information management and reduce manual tasks. Earlier proof-of-concept work (2019) and system architecture benchmarking (2018) established foundational frameworks for overlaying critical data directly onto a surgeon’s field of view. These contributions promise to shorten operating times and improve surgical precision. By addressing the clutter of traditional surgical environments, Iqbal’s research is shaping the next generation of smart, intuitive surgical tools—making complex procedures safer and more efficient for both surgeons and patients.
