Extended Reality (XR) for the Healthcare Industry
Transform training and frontline care with assisted and augmented reality devices
Improve paramedical care
The problem
Paramedics deliver urgent care on the frontline. Their expertise and quick thinking saves countless lives every year.
However, when specialist intervention is needed, paramedics are constrained by time and geography. Patients must be transported to hospital, fast – often from remote or hard-to-access locations.
The solution
Make specialist care available on demand. Using assisted reality (aR) devices like smart glasses, paramedics can stream high-quality PoV video in real time. This allows doctors to assess the situation and provide expert guidance from any location and any web-enabled device.
Calls can be set up in seconds, so paramedics can access specialist advice even in time-critical situations.
Expert guidance
Deliver expert guidance via real-time voice and video link.
Eliminate skill gaps
Eliminate skills gaps – access medical specialisms on demand.
Safety
Maintain focus and safety with lightweight, distraction-free wearables.
Save lives
Save lives by administering critical care more quickly and effectively.
Deliver immersive training experiences
The problem
Training demonstrations provide valuable, interactive learning opportunities for students. However, educators are limited in the scope of their simulations. Dummies and role play can only go so far in replicating the stress and excitement of real-world medical scenarios.
The solution
Create interactive experiences that feel powerful and real. By using mixed reality in healthcare education, students can experience surgical and first-aid scenarios as if they were happening before their eyes. It's all thanks to some very clever technology, which allows for virtual elements to be integrated seamlessly into real-world learning environments.
With the help of our devices, you can unlock learning opportunities across a wide range of disciplines – from first aid, to surgery, to disaster management.
Bespoke experiences
Deliver bespoke experiences that cover any eventuality.
Cost saving
Save cash by ditching expensive, single-purpose training equipment.
Learning opportunities
Introduce practical, on-the-job learning opportunities without risk.
Virtual testing environment
Make adjustments on the fly to test and challenge students.
Streamline remote observation and guidance
The problem
In an ideal world, your specialists could attend to any situation instantly. However, the reality is that resources are limited. At best, doctors are forced to travel outside of working hours. At worst, patients face delays in their treatment until specialist care is available.
The solution
Let doctors dial in to any situation, instantly. Frontline workers wear assisted reality video headsets, which allow specialists to assess and advise from a remote location. This means assessments can be carried out quickly and efficiently, without the need for costly, time-consuming travel.
The technology opens up powerful training opportunities too. It allows junior doctors and nurses to access expert guidance from specialists who might be miles away, or even in a different country.
Expertise for all
Make expertise available to all, without the need for travel or recruitment.
Cut waiting times, boost productivity
Cut patient waiting times while boosting productivity and wellbeing among staff.
Training from anywhere
Deliver top-of-the-line care and training from any location.
Maintain safety standards
Maintain safety standards with comfortable, distraction-free wearables.
Simplify pre-surgery analysis
The problem
All forms of surgery have risks attached. However, despite advances in medical imaging and pre-operative assessment, surgeons have few opportunities to practice their craft before entering theatre. This means increased patient risk and reduced efficiency, at a time when the medical industry is under enormous financial pressure.
The solution
Empower surgeons to assess and practice operations without risk. Equipped with virtual or augmented reality headsets, surgeons can explore realistic 3D visualisations of patients' organs. By determining the best operative route before surgery begins, surgeons can boost efficiency and improve patient outcomes.
Medical aids
Root out unexpected complications before they happen.
Intuitive
Get started immediately with intuitive, easy-to-wear VR headsets.
Cut costs, greater efficiency
Deliver first-class surgical treatment with lower costs and better efficiency.
Reduce stress with technology
Reduce stress for surgical staff.
Product spotlight
Discover the tech you need to change lives and unlock new cost savings
These assisted and augmented reality medical devices have hundreds of potential uses, ranging from training in university environments to time-critical collaboration in frontline care.
Assisted reality headsets connect wearers with remote users via voice and video link. They're ideal for delivering training and advice, and feature distraction-free displays so users maintain total awareness of their environment.
Augmented (or mixed) reality glasses allow for virtual elements to inhabit real-world environments. This opens up exciting opportunities for multi-user training sessions and pre-surgical assessments.
