how to use 3D and virtual reality

Health is not immune to the transformative processes of technological innovation. Virtual and augmented reality are two good use cases that guarantee treatment success rehabilitation, vocational training and even surgical planning.

In Argentina, there are already companies involved in this type of implementation. iProUP He spoke to three of them, who, though with different approaches, agree that these solutions are “revolutionizing health.”

Health revolution

“Augmented reality is revolutionizing various industries, and the healthcare sector is no exception,” he assures. iProUP Damian Turkie, director Reality 360 Argentina.

The executive branch believes that this is a technology that “gives medical professionals the opportunity visualize and interact with complex data in a more intuitive and direct way.”

But not only that, either promotes professional learning thanks to the fact that it is possible to conduct realistic simulations of operations and procedures.

“Augmented reality has become a very effective tool,” says the specialist.

So, let’s combine virtual reality with 360 video and animation, augmented realityimmersive rooms, meta-universes, interactive virtual tours, immersive video and panoramic websites for healthcare and other industries such as entertainment and mass consumption.

According to the wordsin turn, uses semi-immersive virtuality, albeit without the use of glasses and helmets for warning that it may be counterproductive in neurological rehabilitation.

That’s why they choose use body sensors to trackear the patient’s body and recreate their movements through a 3D avatar in a video game-like gaming environment.

This happens The brain can’t always tell the difference between a virtual experience and a real one.. This, which can lead to endless social considerations, acts as a differential capital when ensuring success in medicine.

“It has been scientifically proven that the brain interprets virtual reality as if it were a physical environment. So any physical activity done in this way is equally effective,” says Ricardo Ruyval, co-founder of Motmi.

The expert evaluates the opportunity bring these solutions home to the patient and solve the overall problem in this population: difficulty in moving. In addition, it allows the therapist to provide the patient real-time remote monitoringstatistics and more.

Motmi uses immersive experiences to collaborate with rehabilitation processes

Through the eyes of Matthias Biancucci, the company’s co-founder and CEO Mirai 3D, Augmented reality is used for education and medical trainingas an additional solution to treatment or even for anticipate situations that may arise in the middle of an operation.

According to the manager, “the effect on the treatment result usually has significant differences depending on the pathology.”

“Applying augmented reality to cruciate knee surgery, where it doesn’t add much value, is not the same as applying planning partial nephrectomy or kidney cancerwhere it was shown that he could significantly reduce complicationssurgery time and even bleeding,” he compares.

Technology increases success

“Today we are in full development of the virtual reality project provide tools to a passenger suffering from a no-fly zone and this requires the restoration of freedom and enjoyment of travel,” admits Turki.

And he shares a metric that outlines the scenario: 30% of airplane passengers suffer from fear at some stage of flight: take-off, turbulence during flight or landing.

“That’s why we collaborated with Dr. Claudio Pla, a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst with more than 40 years of experience,” explains Turkier, who recalls that Pla created the method Can fly which he has been fighting for 25 years improve the quality of flight of more than 8000 people.

Motmi, For his part, he was born as a product of the company Córdoba of software factory Blizniuk that, tras uni spin off, gained independence.

There team c Ten people serve about 80 clients in Argentinaas the base Flenny and Rita Bianchi, among other relevant institutions; while planning your expansion into Mexico.

With the conviction that Art Motivation determines the success of treatment, both in relation to patients and medical personnel; Motmi offers an interesting and interactive proposition allows the patient to project themselves virtually, in a pleasant routine.

The Mirai 3D practice is hybrid because it uses physical biomodels and augmented reality solutions used in the operating room reduce the uncertainty of the intervention.

“They systematize information obtained from tomography or MRIand display it in 3D simplify understanding surgical team. it is possible touch, see and interact in 3D bones, organs, veins and arteries every patient,” says Biancucci.

The expert suggests imagining these implementations as a a card that ensures accuracy in the intervention and avoids possible problems.

“It is extremely useful in the most complex oncological operationsin which a critical to know exactly the location of the tumor, its boundaries and the connection with nearby structures first decide whether resection is possible; and then determine how to do it,” Biancucci exemplified.

These are the uses that Mirai 3D offers today with urology equipment German hospitalhe Institute of Transplantation of High Complexity (ITAC), Art Norbert Quirn Center for Medical Education and Clinical Research (CEMIC)he Italian Hospital and the Alexander Fleming Institute through a team of 10 people, mostly biomedical engineers.

This is an experience they have already had Mexico, Central America, Chile, Venezuela, Spain, Netherlands, United Kingdom, Qatar and Pakistanamong other areas.

Its most advanced offering allows e.g. move around 3D models in one robotic console or manipulate the anatomy without contact, with a single movement of the surgeon’s hands, which is made possible by the combination of a special sensor in which the software of its own development is integrated.

“The trend is that this type of technology is increasingly used in complex cases and for training surgeons,” the Mirai 3D specialist emphasizes.

In addition, he suggests that work is underway to create intelligent 3D models that allow guide the surgeon in real time in full intervention

For Ruival of Motmi, the trend of rehabilitation strategies and the use of technological solutions is driven by a large aging population and the inability to have the necessary number of specialists; a scenario in which this type of tool will facilitate access to health.
