MESH|Lab — Oslo University Hospital

Software that makes precision care possible.

Clinicians, researchers and patients connected through our software. MESH|Lab is the medical-software research group at Oslo University Hospital, working across operating systems, infrastructure, and end-user clinical applications.

Research

One path from clinic to software

Our approach is to integrate research into software that can be maintained, developed further and deployed. That means keeping control of the full stack — from the operating system a clinical workstation boots to the application a clinician works with. Four themes organise that work.

01 · Systems

Systems & infrastructure

Reproducible, declaratively-configured operating systems and platforms for medical computing — built to meet the documentation and traceability demands of clinical-software regulation.

  • — SystoleOS — the lab’s medical-applications OS
  • — Long-term maintenance of the platforms other projects depend on

02 · Surgery

Image-guided surgery & navigation

Patient-specific surgical planning and intra-operative guidance, built on 3D Slicer and integrated with the navigation hardware operating rooms already use.

  • — SlicerLiver — patient-specific liver-resection planning
Explore the theme →

03 · Simulation

Surgical simulation & robotics

Soft-tissue simulation under a surgeon’s hand, wired through ROS 2 to real robots — research-bench economics for surgical-robotics investigation.

  • — SlicerSOFA — real-time soft-tissue simulation, taken to robotic and haptic benches through SlicerROS2
  • — Haptic interaction with simulated tissue on a research bench
  • — Reproducible from a single SystoleOS manifest

04 · Data

Clinical data & AI

Getting clinical data — bedside-monitor waveforms, imaging archives, domain-specific signal sources — into the form research and AI workflows actually need.

  • — MONK — Nihon Kohden waveform extraction

Systems Infrastructure

SystoleOS

2023–

A reproducible, declaratively-configured operating system for medical applications, designed to meet the documentation and traceability requirements of medical-software standards.

Image Guided Surgery

SlicerLiver

2020–

A 3D Slicer extension for patient-specific liver-resection planning, from segmentation through vessel analysis to a navigable surgical plan.

Simulation Robotics

SlicerSOFA

2023–

Real-time soft-tissue simulation inside 3D Slicer, built on the SOFA framework, and made to work through SlicerROS2 so a simulated organ can meet robotic and haptic hardware on a research bench.
