Patient Handling AR
Augmented reality is a new computer interface that emerged from robotic surgery and is now finding its way into many other types of applications across a spectrum of activities and interests, including applications for the medical and health care industry. Apple and Android have introduced their new AR development platforms, named ARKit and ARCore respectively, and this opens up the opportunity for software developers to create AR applications that reach a much larger audience. Now anyone with a smartphone or tablet can access high quality augmented reality applications for business, industry, manufacturing, entertainment, and healthcare.
AugmentedReality.health is a full-service interactive multimedia developer with a specific focus on the design and development of augmented reality applications. The company launched its first AR project in 2009. With extensive experience in VMS, or virtual medical simulations, and a long list of satisfied repeat clients in the medical and health care industries, AugmentedReality.health can see the many opportunities ahead. As a result, there are a number of augmented reality concepts they invite you to consider for development. Patient Handling AR is an augmented reality medical concept that addresses the advent of new patient handling technology and an augmented reality application that orients an EMT to its proper use and deployment.
Need
Patient handling is a critical part of everyday operations, from EMTs in the field to routine patient transfers in and around a medical facility. New inflatable patient handling technology has been developed in recent years that improve conventional methods. Patient Handling AR works as a complement to the new technology and provides immersive training with augmented reality as its interface.
Benefit
Patient Handling AR has the potential to work in tandem with the introduction of new inflatable patient handling technology, and to act as a method to train people and advance its use as the new industry standard. AugmentedReality.health can see the many ways augmented reality will facilitate medical training of all kinds, and Patient Handling AR provides an excellent opportunity to use augmented reality for practical applications.
Concept
Patient Handling AR can be used to create training and instruction to familiarize techs, nurses, and others with the equipment. Interactive simulations train users to adjust patients onto patient handling bedding properly, and to address particular concerns in special conditions, such as patients with special needs, moving over broken ground, and cramped quarters and stairs, as well as onsite training using real patient handling equipment with augmented information. Floating text can be used to caption the equipment with instructions, and arrows and operational diagrams can indicate ways for users to minimize effort and maximize patient comfort during transitions. The entire process is covered, from the arrival to the patient, the deployment of the pump, the arrangement of the mattress, the details of the transfer, and finally, the breakdown and deflation of the equipment, as well as subsequent maintenance and storage for the next use.
