New medical techniques with Virtual Reality
Virtual Reality (VR) is revolutionizing the field of medicine and healthcare by offering a variety of promising applications. Its ability to create immersive environments and interactive simulations has opened up new opportunities in medical diagnosis, treatment and training. Here's a look at the innovative Virtual Reality solutions that are transforming the way we address medical challenges and improving the quality of healthcare.
Therapy and treatment of phobias with Virtual Reality
27% of patients suffering from specific phobias and anxiety reject live exposure as too intense, while only 3% reject VR exposure.
Use of Virtual Reality in the rehabilitation process
Training of medical professionals with Virtual Reality
Virtual Reality is undoubtedly a very interesting tool to enhance learning processes and the acquisition of new skills through the virtual simulation of realistic situations in which to practice without putting the health of patients at risk.
In this context, we developed this Virtual Reality project for 4Doctors with the aim of providing new and more immersive training possibilities for healthcare professionals.
In this way, through VR experiences, users of the 4Doctors training platform could access immersive clinical cases in which to practice and train medical processes and operations in a safe virtual environment.
Medicine is constantly evolving and Virtual Reality is an innovative tool that drives 4Doctors' online training, positioning them as leaders in the sector.
Augmented and Mixed Reality applications in medicine
Augmented Reality to facilitate mobility in hospitals
Virtual medical instructions in Augmented Reality
By focusing the Smartphone camera on an object, Augmented Reality allows to know the information and instructions for use, without the need for a physical manual on paper. It could also be useful when creating virtual leaflets, providing data on dosage instructions, side effects and contraindications in an interactive and easy-to-understand way.
In this way, professionals can obtain instructions on the use of medical instruments and patients can access accurate and understandable information on their medications. In both cases, it is a solution that contributes to more informed decision-making and safer use.
Remote operations in Mixed Reality
Through the use of Mixed Reality devices, surgeons can receive real-time visual information while performing remote procedures. This technology allows the superimposition of medical images, surgical guides and vital data directly in the surgeon's field of vision, improving accuracy and decision making.
In addition, Mixed Reality facilitates real-time communication with other healthcare professionals, enabling collaboration and knowledge sharing during surgery. These innovative applications of Mixed Reality are paving the way for more precise and safer surgery, even in remote environments, and opening up new possibilities in healthcare globally.
