BIMANUAL HAPTIC FEEDBACK COMBINED WITH MIXED REALITY FOR INTRAVENOUS NEEDLE INSERTION SIMULATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240257656 titled 'BIMANUAL HAPTIC FEEDBACK COMBINED WITH MIXED REALITY FOR INTRAVENOUS NEEDLE INSERTION SIMULATION

The patent application describes an assembly for training a user in intravenous (IV) catheter insertion using mixed reality technology.

• The assembly includes a mixed reality display that shows a virtual patient and a virtual needle, with a hand tracking module for interaction.
• A first haptic device with a stylus assembly and needle allows the user to practice insertion techniques.
• A second haptic device helps stabilize the user's hand during the training process.
• A hand motion controller tracks the second haptic device in conjunction with the mixed reality display.

Potential Applications: - Medical training for healthcare professionals - Simulation training for medical students - Skill development for IV catheter insertion

Problems Solved: - Provides a realistic and interactive training environment for IV catheter insertion - Allows users to practice and improve their skills in a safe and controlled setting

Benefits: - Enhances learning and skill development in IV catheter insertion - Increases confidence and proficiency in medical procedures - Reduces the risk of errors and complications during actual patient care

Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced IV Catheter Insertion Training System" This technology can be used by medical schools, hospitals, and simulation centers to train healthcare professionals in IV catheter insertion techniques. It can also be marketed to medical device companies for product demonstrations and training purposes.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the mixed reality display enhance the training experience for IV catheter insertion? 2. What are the advantages of using haptic devices in medical simulation training?

Original Abstract Submitted

an assembly for training a user for intravenous (iv) catheter insertion includes a mixed reality display adapted to display a virtual patient and a virtual needle, the mixed reality display including a hand tracking module; a first haptic device including a stylus assembly with a needle assembly; a second haptic device adapted to allow the user to stabilize a hand; and a hand motion controller adapted to track the second haptic device in conjunction with the hand tracking module of the mixed reality display. a method includes utilizing a system to simulate inserting the virtual needle into an arm of the virtual patient with a first set of insertion conditions; adjusting the system to a second set of insertion conditions; and utilizing the system to simulate inserting the virtual needle into the arm of the virtual patient with the second set of insertion conditions.
