11/06/2024 – About the Topic
Immersive technologies provide an ability to explore the intricate details of human anatomy in 3D, dissecting virtual cadavers with precision and without the constraints of physical space. Students and doctors can practice complex surgical procedures in a safe and immersive environment, honing skills without the risk to real patients.
Immersive technology is revolutionizing healthcare education. Learn about how medical students are using VR simulations to perform virtual surgeries, gaining hands-on experience and confidence before stepping into the operating room. AR is transforming patient care, with healthcare professionals using holographic overlays to visualize patient anatomy during surgeries, improving precision and efficiency. Mixed reality is being used in rehabilitation therapy, allowing patients to engage in interactive exercises in a virtual environment, promoting faster recovery and better outcomes.
Whether you’re intrigued by the potential of immersive technology or already passionate about its possibilities, join us November 6th at 2112 to learn more about XR and health science.
