💡 AR/VR can deliver a new generation of diagnostics and treatments in healthcare. 👉 The following are some real-world use cases (2015-2023): 🔹️ During surgery, it is used to overlay medical images on the patient. Providing some clinical services in patients' homes could make treatment more convenient. 🔹️ Can benefit underserved or vulnerable populations, but can also cause neck pain, dizziness, fatigue, or visual impairment. 🔹️ Stroke patients and other medical conditions can benefit from rehabilitation therapy. 🔹️ Post-traumatic stress disorder PTSD can be reduced by allowing patients to experience the situation in a controlled and safe environment. ❓How else can AR/VR deliver new diagnostics and treatments? 🌐Center for Devices and Radiological Health.

A Komodo analysis found that roughly 30% of chronic low back pain (CLBP) patients begin their treatment journey with opioids, and, of those, roughly 63% had a previous history of opioid use, suggesting what many back pain sufferers already know: It almost always comes back. Yet, for all the people who struggle with CLBP and its vicious cycle of opioids and surgeries, there has been very little in the way of innovation in how we treat the problem. That is, until AppliedVR introduced a radical new way to treat CLBP using immersive virtual reality that helps reprogram patients’ brains to reduce pain on their own. With insights from Komodo's platform, AppliedVR will study its real-world effectiveness versus more traditional methods of treatment: https://buff.ly/47DJc7Q

The growing importance of AR/VR in the medical devices industry 🥽 👨⚕️👩⚕️ 🏥 For people still thinking that AR/VR is just a toy, you should have a look at the recent report “AR/VR Surgical System Interfaces”  published by GlobalData Healthcare stating that: - Over 450,000 patents have been filed and granted in the medical devices industry in the last three years - AR/VR surgical system interfaces have become game-changers, enabling surgeons to visualize target areas in augmented or virtual reality environments. - AR/VR medical image visualization is among the accelerating innovation areas, where adoption has been steadily increasing. At AVATAR MEDICAL, we are proud to contribute to changing the way surgeons can study and explore patient-specific anatomical structures in great detail, promoting better understanding and planning of complex surgical procedures. #XRMedicalImaging  #MedicalInnovation #ARVRMedicine #HealthTech #HealthcareFuture

Axial length measurements using the OCULUS Myopia Master® can act as an objective indicator to check if our myopia control goals are achieved. There are numerous ways to use axial length data as this article explores: https://hubs.li/Q0262GV_0 Research studies regularly uses axial length to report on findings - in practice, it is serves as an excellent way of tracking a patient's myopia. #optometry #MyopiaMaster #OCULUS #DesignsForVision #eyecare #optometrist

Medical extended reality (XR), which includes #augmentedreality and #virtualreality has the potential to improve healthcare by facilitating new types of treatments and diagnosis tools – spanning developments in neurology, orthopaedics, radiology, and more. Medical XR also provides opportunities to advance health equity, by enabling care at home, outside of hospital, or in the absence of a local specialist. As the benefits, risks, and long-term effects of medical XR continue to be studied, the FDA has provided a selection of resources on the considerations regarding its use and regulation.
