SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CLINICAL WORKSPACE SIMULATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240221239 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CLINICAL WORKSPACE SIMULATION
The abstract describes a computer-implemented method for clinical workspace simulation using an augmented reality headset.
- Capturing a real-world environment with an imaging device of the headset.
- Generating a composite view by rendering a virtual object relative to a surgical table.
- Combining the captured real-world environment and the rendered virtual object in the composite view.
- Displaying the composite view on the headset worn by a user.
Potential Applications: - Medical training simulations. - Surgical planning and practice. - Virtual patient consultations.
Problems Solved: - Enhancing the realism of clinical simulations. - Improving surgical training and preparation. - Facilitating remote medical consultations.
Benefits: - Increased accuracy and efficiency in medical procedures. - Enhanced learning experiences for medical professionals. - Improved patient outcomes through better-prepared healthcare providers.
Commercial Applications: - Medical education and training institutions. - Healthcare facilities for surgical planning. - Telemedicine companies for remote consultations.
Questions about Clinical Workspace Simulation: 1. How does this technology improve surgical training?
- This technology allows for realistic simulations and practice scenarios, enhancing the skills of medical professionals.
2. What are the potential cost savings associated with using this simulation method?
- By reducing the need for physical resources and travel, this technology can lead to cost savings in medical training and consultations.
Original Abstract Submitted
a computer-implemented method for clinical workspace simulation includes capturing a real-world environment by an imaging device of an augmented reality headset and generating a composite view by rendering a first virtual object relative to a surgical table in the real-world environment. captured real-world environment and the rendered first virtual object are combined in the composite view, which is displayed on a display of the augmented reality headset worn by a user.
