Privacy Policy
Last Updated: May 2026
Welcome to ATRIA, a spatial computing platform designed to support pre-operative surgical collaboration and clinical preparation using Apple Vision Pro.
This Privacy Policy explains how clinical data is handled when healthcare professionals use the Application for surgical planning, visualization, and collaboration.
Disclaimer
The Application is intended solely as a collaborative visualization and pre-operative support tool for healthcare professionals.
The Application does not provide medical diagnoses, treatment recommendations, or autonomous clinical decision-making. Any clinical interpretation, surgical planning, or medical decision remains solely the responsibility of qualified healthcare professionals.
The Application is not intended to replace professional medical judgment, institutional procedures, or certified medical systems.
While reasonable efforts are made to support accurate visualization and collaboration workflows, the developers make no guarantees regarding clinical accuracy, completeness, or uninterrupted availability of the Application.
Users are responsible for independently verifying all medical information, measurements, and clinical decisions before use in patient care.
Purpose of the App
The Application is intended to support healthcare professionals during pre-operative planning and collaborative clinical meetings. The App enables secure visualization and discussion of medical imaging, surgical documentation, and related patient information within an immersive spatial environment.
The Application is designed as a clinical support tool and does not replace professional medical judgment or decision-making.
Type of files supported
Displaying of the following categories of data is supported in the Application:
- Medical imaging files (including DICOM files)
- CT, MRI, ultrasound, and echocardiography scans
- Surgical planning annotations
- Pre-operative documentation
- Clinical PDFs and uploaded reports
Clinical files displayed within the Application are uploaded and managed by users through iCloud services associated with their own Apple accounts.
Medical data may be temporarily cached locally on the user's Apple Vision Pro device for the duration of an active session in order to enable real-time visualization and interaction. Such data is not retained after the session ends and is not shared with unauthorized third parties by the Application.
The Application may temporarily process spatial interaction information required for immersive collaboration functionality, such as:
- Hand tracking interactions
- Spatial positioning of shared content
- Session interaction states
Personal spatial tracking data remains on local device and is not shared with the other participants and is only used to interact with the content of the App and its not saved.
The Application does not use this data for advertising, profiling, or commercial analytics purposes. All of the processing and displaying happens locally on the Apple Vision Pro device and is not shared to Apple or any third parties.
Communication Security
Real-time collaboration between participants occurs through integration with Apple FaceTime.
FaceTime communication is protected using Apple's end-to-end encryption infrastructure. The Application does not access, monitor, record, or store FaceTime audio or video communication content.
The Application only manages clinical visualization and collaborative interaction layers associated with the meeting session.
For additional information regarding Apple's handling of data through iCloud and FaceTime services, users may refer to Apple's official privacy documentation:
Data Protection Measures
The Application is designed following privacy-by-design and security-by-design principles.
Security measures may include:
- Encryption of data in transit
- Encryption of stored clinical data
- Role-based access controls
- Authenticated user access
- Session timeout protections
- Secure cloud infrastructure
- Access logging and audit trails
- Permission-controlled collaboration sessions
Access to patient information is restricted to authorized users participating in the clinical workflow. Clinical data used during collaborative sessions is processed locally and transiently on-device and is not permanently retained by the Application.
Certain synchronization, storage, and communication functionalities rely on Apple services, including iCloud and FaceTime. For additional information regarding Apple's privacy and security infrastructure, users may refer to:
