AUGMENTED-REALITY SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GUIDED INSTALLATION OF MEDICAL DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18623451 titled 'AUGMENTED-REALITY SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GUIDED INSTALLATION OF MEDICAL DEVICES
The present disclosure pertains to augmented reality systems and methods, specifically focusing on providing automated support instructions to patients during the unboxing and installation of medical devices using an augmented reality-enabled device. As remote patient monitoring and care have become more prevalent, many medical devices are not user-friendly for laypersons. Therefore, this innovation offers accessible guidance to patients handling complex medical devices without the presence of a trained healthcare professional.
- Automated support instructions provided to patients during medical device unboxing and installation
- Usage of augmented reality-enabled devices for guidance
- Addressing the lack of user-friendliness in medical devices for laypersons
- Remote patient monitoring and care accelerated adoption
- Easy and accessible guidance for patients handling complex medical devices
Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in various healthcare settings where patients need assistance with unboxing and installing medical devices. It can also be utilized in telehealth platforms to enhance patient experience and ensure proper device setup.
Problems Solved: This technology addresses the challenge of patients, who are not healthcare professionals, in unboxing and installing complex medical devices. It ensures that patients receive accurate guidance and support during this process.
Benefits: The benefits of this technology include improved patient experience, reduced errors in device setup, and increased confidence among patients in using medical devices independently.
Commercial Applications: Title: Augmented Reality Medical Device Installation Support System This technology can be commercially used by medical device manufacturers, telehealth companies, and healthcare providers to enhance patient care and streamline the setup process for medical devices.
Questions about Augmented Reality Medical Device Installation Support System:
1. How does this technology improve patient outcomes during the unboxing and installation of medical devices? This technology improves patient outcomes by providing accurate and accessible guidance to patients, ensuring proper setup and operation of medical devices.
2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this technology in healthcare settings? The potential challenges in implementing this technology may include training healthcare professionals on how to use augmented reality systems effectively and integrating this technology seamlessly into existing healthcare workflows.
Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure relates to augmented-reality systems and methods, and more specifically to systems and methods of providing automated support instructions to patients during medical device unboxing and installation via an augmented reality-enabled device. While adoption of remote patient monitoring and remote patient care (e.g., telehealth) has greatly accelerated, most medical devices are not designed for usage by laypersons. Thus, the systems and methods of the present disclosure provide easy and accessible guidance to patients now tasked with unboxing and installation complex medical devices without the support of a trained healthcare professional.
