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 20240338907 titled 'AUGMENTED-REALITY SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GUIDED INSTALLATION OF MEDICAL DEVICES

The present disclosure pertains to augmented reality systems and methods for providing automated support instructions to patients during medical device unboxing and installation using an augmented reality-enabled device.

  • Medical devices are often not designed for use by laypersons, making unboxing and installation complex for patients without the support of a trained healthcare professional.
  • The systems and methods described in the disclosure offer easy and accessible guidance to patients tasked with unboxing and installing intricate medical devices.
  • This innovation aims to bridge the gap between patients and medical devices, ensuring proper setup and use without the need for professional assistance.
  • By leveraging augmented reality technology, patients can receive step-by-step instructions and visual aids to facilitate the unboxing and installation process.
  • The automated support instructions provided through augmented reality enhance patient experience and promote self-sufficiency in managing medical devices.

Potential Applications: - Healthcare industry for remote patient care - Medical device manufacturers for improving user experience - Telehealth platforms for enhancing patient support

Problems Solved: - Lack of guidance for patients unboxing and installing medical devices - Difficulty in using complex medical devices without professional assistance

Benefits: - Empowers patients to independently set up and use medical devices - Reduces the need for healthcare professionals to be present during device installation - Enhances patient satisfaction and overall experience with medical devices

Commercial Applications: Title: Augmented Reality Medical Device Installation Support This technology can be utilized by medical device companies to enhance user experience and streamline the installation process for patients. It can also be integrated into telehealth platforms to provide comprehensive support to patients remotely.

Questions about Augmented Reality Medical Device Installation Support: 1. How does this technology improve patient outcomes in the healthcare industry? - This technology improves patient outcomes by ensuring proper setup and use of medical devices, leading to better treatment adherence and overall health management. 2. What are the potential cost-saving benefits for healthcare providers with the implementation of this technology? - By enabling patients to independently unbox and install medical devices, healthcare providers can save on resources and time typically spent on device setup assistance.


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.
