Brainlab, Leica Microsystems and MIT Showcase Advanced Digital Technologies for Neurosurgery in Semey

On June 12, 2026, the Medical University of Semey hosted the KAZAKHSTAN ROADSHOW practical seminar organized by MIT, Brainlab, and Leica Microsystems. The event brought together neurosurgeons, medical specialists, faculty members, and residents to explore cutting-edge digital technologies shaping modern neurosurgical practice.

As the exclusive distributor of Brainlab and Leica Microsystems solutions in Kazakhstan, MIT presented innovative developments in surgical navigation, medical imaging, and digital surgical planning.

During the seminar, participants were introduced to the latest technologies from Leica Microsystems, including the GLOW 800 Augmented Reality system, which enables real-time visualization of fluorescence data directly through the Leica ARveo 8 surgical microscope. Attendees also experienced the integration of the Brainlab Kick navigation system with the Leica ARveo 8 microscope, a solution that combines navigation and visualization within a unified digital environment, enhancing precision during complex neurosurgical procedures.

Particular attention was drawn to Leica MyVeo, an innovative surgical visualization headset that delivers exceptional image quality while significantly improving surgeon comfort and ergonomics.

As part of the expert demonstrations, Brainlab specialists presented advanced software capabilities for planning and navigation in cranial and spinal surgery. Participants had the opportunity to explore digital tools designed to increase surgical accuracy and support more effective clinical decision-making.

The hands-on portion of the seminar included practical work with the Brainlab navigation platform and the simulation of surgical procedures based on real clinical cases. Participants were also introduced to the Brainlab Mixed Reality Viewer running on the Magic Leap platform, a technology that enables the visualization of patient anatomy as highly realistic three-dimensional models and supports collaborative analysis in a mixed reality environment.

The KAZAKHSTAN ROADSHOW marked an important step forward in the advancement of digital healthcare technologies in Kazakhstan. The solutions presented clearly demonstrated how modern visualization, navigation, and mixed reality technologies can contribute to improved quality of care, enhanced patient safety, and greater efficiency within surgical teams.

MIT extends its sincere gratitude to the leadership and staff of the Medical University of Semey for their support in organizing the event, as well as to all participants for their strong interest in innovative technologies that are shaping the future of neurosurgery.
