The ability of field medics and field surgeons to be able to get immediate consultation from an expert surgeon may be the critical difference in the survival and more positive longer-term recovery of a wounded warfighter. Being able to do this in an Augmented-to-Virtual Reality space would set this collaboration experience to an even higher level. This 3D collaborative space would provide a spatial calibration of the physical and virtual realities to allow the Novice surgeon to work on the physical body within an augmented reality alongside an Expert surgeon’s avatar with a virtual reproduction of the patient’s injury in his virtual reality.

The Virtual Augmented Distributed Engagement Reality (VADER) is an AR-VR Remote Telementoring/Telemedicine application that was implemented by SOLUTE for a medical organization in San Diego and is part of their operations center showcase offerings highlighting the latest leading-edge medical technologies.

18Loop and the American Childhood Cancer Organization (ACCO) have conducted a Joint Experimental Intervention Research Study (JEIRS) to measure the efficacy of VR on children with pediatric cancer. This session will report on the findings and recommendations as well as a presentation on the benefits of Virtual Stress Management, the gamification of meditation and collaboration to the larger issues of mood and pain management.

VR is truly a family intervention and data suggests that the experience strengthens family bonds (especially when related to families coping with illness). Attendees will learn three types of VR approaches in pediatric oncology, what our results look like and what the industry needs to do moving forward regarding standards and hardware to support the Virtual Pharmacy.

Description

NASA developed a series of XR medical scenarios for astronaut training during deep space exploration missions. Led by Dr. Roger Dias, MD, PhD, MBA at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) and Harvard Medical School, and funded by the Translational Research Institute for Space Health (TRISH), this project has a rather lengthy title “Mixed Reality (MR) Care-delivery Guidance System to Support Medical Event Management on Long Duration Exploration Missions” but is a very noble and important mission. The development of these XR, highly realistic, medical scenarios for in-flight space training was carried out by a collaboration between the BWH, Radiant Images, Inc., and Panogramma Inc. The photogrammetry and volumetric video capture, editing, and processing were performed with several other collaborators, including Metastage, Sony, and Arcturus. This session will cover the challenges and solutions this team faced and solved in the production of these medical training modules.
