The Healthcare Application For Microsoft 's Hololens

Thesis: I chose this career when I found out that I would be providing one-on-one care to various people who can range from being healthy to critically ill. Currently, I do this as a certified nursing assistant. I assist the elderly who range from being able to take care of themselves with minor help to the ones who are in need of a lot of help such as the Alzheimer patients. I became interested when I found out that I would be trained on a high-tech machine which creates images from inside the human body. These images will be used

Although this specific program will likely not become available to average consumers, the same foundations for the simulation will be available on the marketplace while being affordable at the same time. In time, applied use of virtual reality such as the Oculus Rift will become mainstream and accepted in everyday life not only due its entertainment value, but also due to its affordability for consumers everywhere. Thoughts of virtual reality often resemble fantastical scenarios reminiscent of scenes in movies with similar themes like Gamer, The Matrix, Total Recall, and Inception. After one delves into the VR technology in products such as the Oculus Rift, one will begin to believe, and he or she will brace themselves for the tidal wave that is the paradigm shift of virtual reality.

By using virtual reality, VA researches can recreate a PTSD suffers traumatic memories and develop treatment based on actual experiences. Chris Crowe, PhD, a researcher and psychologist with the Atlanta VA Medical Center is enthusiastic about the process and states "We believe this has very exciting potential to treat people very quickly and in a way that makes them less vulnerable to relapse,"(VA outlines PTSD research, 2010) These types of research studies are providing veterans with a better quality of life and allotting the time researchers need for long term

TH is the use of telecommunications and information technologies to connect people to healthcare across distance. Both synchronous (real-time) and asynchronous (store-and-forward) technologies allows for the distribution of electronic health information, services, and education between providers and patients and/or providers and providers (ATH, 2015). The use of telephone, Internet, interactive radio and video equipment, remote sensory devices or robotics are all tools of TH. Encompassing over 30 specialties including psychiatry, neurosurgery, dermatology, radiology, pharmacy and nutrition, the RHC-A is continuously working on testing and building its capabilities in terms of policies, processes, organization, products, and systems in order to provide safe, high quality care both in garrison and in deployed locations (RHC-A(P), 2016).

In January 2016, Dr. Peter Weinstock who is an Intensive Care Unit physician and Director of the Pediatric Simulator Program at the Boston Children's Hospital / Harvard Medical School delivered a speech at the TED conference. The topic of his speech was “Lifelike simulations that make real-life surgery safer”, in which he presented how important in difficult surgeries can be the use of current computer special effects and 3D prints. In his speech, he in an amazing way underlines how important it is to use realistic simulations before precise surgeries, especially for children. Using examples, slides and other help he shows the audience the wonders of technology to help analyze the case in every respect, but also to minimize the risk of failure of the operation. From the first minutes, the audience is attracted by their appearance, attitude, and tone of voice, which attests to his professionalism and knowledge of the subject. Through appropriate modulation of voice, he manages to keep the audience's attention to the end.

Therefore training is not the only usage of VR in the military, but also in healthcare. Using the virtual environment to explore not only PTSD, but all sorts of phobias, specialists can help treat patients. By using a controlled environment, PTSD patients can re-enact scenarios and learn how to cope with their traumas. This kind of treatment works on people with phobias simultaneously. By putting them in the virtual environment, the patients can gradually learn how to overcome their phobias with the help of a

In regards to the personal impact of this assignment, I feel I was fortunate to come across a revolutionary product such as CareView to conduct my SLP. Since my future professional endeavors entail healthcare administration, the opportunity to gain insight on state of the art technology plays a pivotal role in the success of my career within any organization. Being introduced to products of such high caliber leads me to envision a great future for the healthcare industry and inspire me to pursue continued investment in patient care technology products such as CareView.

Technology is changing the way healthcare is delivered. Palms West Hospital and all of HCA hospitals are making every effort to exceed patient’s expectations with a variety of technology and different information systems. Some of the services offered by HCA East Florida Hospitals include Patient Portal, which gives instant access to patient’s health information. This service is accessible 24/7 and lets patient’s lab/radiology reports, medication instructions, discharge summaries, automatic bill pay, health libraries, registering for classes and even upcoming patient appointments with HCA affiliated physician offices. JFK Hospital offers both Cyber Knife for tumors and Robotic Surgery for Urology, Gynecology, and General Surgery.

The importance of Virtual Reality research and application is that it can immensely influence a positive change in nursing practice,

Medical Applications of virtual and augmented reality: Virtual reality is an interactive simulation that makes you feel like you are somewhere you are not. It is now starting to be used in the medical field. For patients that are in pain, virtual reality can be used to make it seem like they are in a different happier place. Studies show that it has the same effectiveness level as morphine, possibly even more effective. For therapists who help people with different fears, virtual reality can help conquer the fear. For example, a virtual reality for people suffering arachnophobia allows people to experience what it is like to have spiders surrounding them. Virtual reality can also be used for surgical training. Surgeons can practice surgery without the fear of hurting or injuring an actual patient. This is helpful because if they mess up, they do not have to deal with the consequences that come from surgical mistakes. Virtual reality is a very new and upcoming idea, and in the near future it has the potential to become much more common in a healthcare

Once again, the BOCES Health Team took first place in the Health Knowledge Bowl competition. The team included Stacy Andryshak, Monticello CSD; Rachel Broder, Monticello CSD; Kaitlin Rau, Livingston Manor CSD; and Allison Smith Monticello CSD. In addition to the rigorous requirements of Career and Technical Center’s New Vision Health Program, the five participants had to practice regularly and learn over 150 medical concepts to ensure their success against the other 20 teams in the

After working at several Columbus-area hospitals, I became a radiologic-technology professor — and now work with students at the University of Cincinnati. My students will

Once the technology had been developed to a point where it could actually be utilized, VR was often seen as more of a tool than a new method of entertainment. The technology was fine-tuned and then used in flight simulators during the 70s to train pilots before they got into a real plane. The technology then made its way to the entertainment industry during the video-game boom of the 80s. Since its inception, Virtual Reality technology has found a wide range of uses in very unpredictable ways. The military, the space program, medical students and even driving schools use virtual training environments that take place in a version of Virtual Reality.

VR systems support 3-dimensional graphics, wide angle of view, stereovision, and viewer-centered perspective. In many VR systems the participant is not seated and is free to walk about and gesture broadly. These features make a computer system which is closer to a workshop, an operating room, or a national park than it is to a desk in an office. This perspective allows freedom in the creation of human-computer interfaces that is not afforded by the current standard interfaces [4].

Furthermore, according to Shaojing Fan, Yongping Zhang, Jianbo Fan, Zhongkun He and Yu Chen (2010), virtual reality is an emerging technology with a variety of potential benefits for many aspects of education, medical treatment, and scientific research. One of advantages of Virtual Reality is people can immerse themselves in an environment that would generally be unavailable due to cost, safety or perception restriction. Research by Abulrub, Attridge and Williams (2011) suggested that a new generation of engineering students is entering higher education level with their own worth computing knowledge and skills. They also have high expectations that their institutes will introduce them to suitable technologies for their successful transformation into industry. Technological requirements encounter academic institutions to adopt appropriate and suitable strategies in order to meet all of educational demand. Hence, virtual reality is one of the best solutions as its solution and advancement in immersive and interactive technologies can give visible and noticeable effects on different style and learning. Moreover, virtual reality known as technology that is attractive to students.
