Abstract
AR-guided surgical navigation requires reliable deformation modeling to maintain alignment between preoperative images and intraoperative anatomy. Interactive data-driven biomechanics and prompt-based modeling provide a way to adapt surgical guidance to patient-specific deformation and clinician input. This topic connects AR-guided navigation with flood buyout equity research as two examples of decision systems operating under uncertainty and heterogeneous human response. In surgical navigation, uncertainty arises from tissue deformation, imaging limitations, and intraoperative change; in flood buyouts, uncertainty arises from household behavior, cost-sharing rules, and institutional capacity. Both domains require transparent models that support high-stakes decisions. The literature structure highlights the value of interactive modeling, simulation, and equity-aware reasoning across medical and environmental systems.
