Healthcare Applications for Extended Reality.
Use Case
ARsurgeon is a Healthcare Platform as a Service (PaaS) that provides AR/VR preoperative planning, training, and collaboration. Co-developed with global MedTech leader Vertice subject matter experts, and initially focused on Knee Arthroplasty (Replacement), the platform aims to reduce surgical errors and improve patient outcomes, tracking key performance metrics such as task time, accuracy, and completeness, offering an immersive environment where medical professionals can simulate complex surgeries. The PaaS is designed to easily scale to support additional medical procedures in AR and VR, and complies with U.S. government regulations, including HIPAA for patient health information (PHI) protection, and Department of Defense Impact Level 5 standards for sensitive government data protection. An integral part of ARsurgeon is XRremote, a remote collaboration tool that allows globally dispersed healthcare professionals to securely collaborate in a 3D virtual experience. XRremote is extensible to integrate meeting data with Electronic Medical Records, supporting Vertice’s broader portfolio of solutions that are helping to moving the healthcare industry away from clinical silos and into longitudinal patient health records, where smart IoT devices are used to generate data throughout the continuum of care to allow better patient management and digitized procurement.
Use Case
The Joint Medical Operations Center (JMOC) plays a crucial role in humanitarian aid, military missions, and disaster response efforts. In 2018, JMOC advanced its mission by launching the Virtual Medical Operation Center (VMOC) to explore cutting-edge virtual medical support technologies. As part of this initiative, AVATAR delivers subject matter expertise in Augmented and Virtual Reality (AR/VR), Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Remote Collaboration within the virtual medical environment. A key use case involved enabling real-time collaboration between a field medic and a geographically dispersed team of doctors, utilizing various technologies like smartphones, laptops, and AR devices. This study examines medics to remotely triage wounded soldiers in critical, life-threatening scenarios, leveraging AR, AI, and IoT to improve outcomes. Another use case focuses on virtual surgical training, where a lead surgeon can teach and assess students in remote locations, incorporating a blend of AR on cadavers and VR in classroom settings.
