Disparities in surgical outcomes often result from subjective than objective decisions dictated by surgical training, experience, and available resources. To improve outcomes, surgeons have adopted advancements in robotics, endoscopy, and intra-operative imaging including fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS), which highlight tumors in real-time without using ionizing radiation. However, like many medical innovations, technical, economic, and logistic challenges have hindered widespread adoption of FGS beyond high-resource centers. To overcome these impediments, we developed the fully-wearable and battery-powered fluorescence imaging augmented reality Raspberry Pi-based goggle system (FAR-Pi). Novel device design ensures distance-independent coalignment between real and augmented FAR-Pi views and offers higher spatial resolution, depth of focus, and fluorescence detection sensitivity than existing bulkier, pricier, and wall-powered technologies. When paired with pan-tumor targeting fluorescent agents such as LS301, FAR-Pi objectively identifies tumors in vivo. As an open-source, affordable, and adaptable system, FAR-Pi is poised to democratize access to FGS and improve health outcomes worldwide.
