He’s really at the cutting edge of surgical innovation so it was a real privilege to speak to him. He is the co-founder of Medical Realities; a company which specialises in surgical VR and AR tech. He has spoken at Wired Health, TEDx — he leads charity work in his native Bangladesh, he’s setting up a hospital of the future in Bolivia.
