    Subject: Looking for Clinical Champions (Patient Safety Managers, Risk Managers, Nurses, Frontline clinical staff) to join AI startup Hello colleagues, I am Yesh. I am the founder and CEO of Scalpel. <www.scalpel.ai> We are on a mission to make surgery safer and more efficient with ZERO preventable incidents across the globe. We are building an AI (artificially intelligent) assistant for surgical teams so that they can perform safer and more efficient operations. (I know AI is vaguely used everywhere these days, to be very specific, we use a sensor fusion approach and deploy Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing and Data Analytics in the operating room to address preventable patient safety incidents in surgery.) We have been working for multiple NHS trusts including Leeds, Birmingham and Glasgow for the past two years. For a successful adoption of our technology into the wider healthcare ecosystem, we are looking for champion clinicians who have a deeper understanding of the pitfalls in the current surgical safety protocols, innovation process in healthcare and would like to make a true difference with cutting edge technology. You will be part of a collaborative and growing team of engineers and data scientists based in our central London office. This role is an opportunity for you to collaborate in making a difference in billions of lives that lack access to safe surgery. Please contact me for further details. Thank you Yesh [email protected]

    Virtual Reality (VR) is increasingly integrated into healthcare to enhance patient care. When paired with simulation, VR is becoming a common tool for training and education. It immerses clinicians in realistic simulations of procedures, allowing them to practice techniques effectively and cost-efficiently. The Virtual Reality and Simulation Summit emphasises the practical application of these technologies in current clinical practice. Rather than focusing on theoretical concepts, the summit features real-world case studies demonstrating how VR and simulation are actively improving medical practice today. Attendees will gain valuable insights into these practical benefits. This conference will enable you to: Network with colleagues who are working to implement virtual reality and simulation in healthcare Understand the national context and potential Improve your understanding of how we can bring virtual reality and simulation together to improve training and education of clinicians Reflect on case studies in various areas where virtual reality is being implemented in clinical practice Understand the practicalities of implementing virtual reality for patients in a hospital setting Ensure organizational support and understand the economic case for this technology Understand how the use of simulation can improve patient care Understand how simulation involving virtual patients can improve training efficiency and cut costs communication skills Learn from case studies including: learning to spot signs of sepsis preparing children for surgery supporting recovery from major-trauma training future pharmacists.

    All medical students at the National University of Singapore will be taught patient safety through a virtual reality (VR) game, a move prompted by the COVID-19 social distancing rules. The game, called PAtient Safety aS Inter-Professional Training (PASS-IT), will use VR to get all 1,500 of them acquainted with the proper procedures in operating theatres. It was developed by the NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine (NUS Medicine). The school has 12 such VR stations. Each has a 15-minute game with various medical scenarios that will require the students to "act out" the standard operating procedures. These range from how to check for a patient's consent and verify their identity as well as the correct ways to handle surgical tools and what must be done if a team member accidentally cuts himself. "This VR system is a good tool to help the students consolidate their learning despite increased clinical restrictions," said Associate Professor Alfred Kow, assistant dean of education of NUS Medicine.

    A hospital in the US had introduced a lifesize hologram device to replace in-person visits and reduce patient wait times. Patients at a Texas hospital who expect to see doctors in person now encounter doctors via 3D holograms. The Holobox is a two-metre-plus device that projects a hologram of a doctor to conduct real-time consultations. It was designed by Netherlands-based next-gen hologram company Holoconnects. It is set to revolutionise patient care while reducing wait times and accommodating non-hands-on visits, such as consults or pre- and post-operative appointments. Crescent Regional Hospital’s CEO Raji Kumar reports it is ‘much more engaging, interactive, and realistic than a Zoom or telehealth call’. Collaborating with Holoconnects, the hospital sees itself as pioneering the future of healthcare with this innovation. ‘Now, you’re seeing the person as a whole. I’m able to see you as a whole. I can see you walk and talk; I can make you do certain tests, which I cannot do with a smaller screen,’ Kumar said. Kumar reported that about 10 doctors have tested the device with around 15 patients, and despite its early stages, it has received positive feedback. Read full story Source: Surgery, 21 August 2024

    Medical students are using hologram patients to hone their skills with life-like training scenarios. The project at Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge is the first in the world to use the mixed reality technology in this way. Students wear Microsoft HoloLens headsets that let them interact with the patient while still being able to see each other. Lecturers are able to alter the patient’s response, make observations and add complications to the scenario. It enables realistic and immersive safe-to-fail training which can be delivered remotely as well as in person. The first module, covering respiratory conditions and emergencies, has already been launched and more are planned around cardiology and neurology. The HoloScenarios system is being developed by Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, in partnership with the University of Cambridge and US-based tech firm GigXR. Consultant anaesthetist Dr Arun Gupta, who is leading the project in Cambridge, said: “Mixed reality is increasingly recognised as a useful method of simulator training. As institutions scale procurement, the demand for platforms that offer utility and ease of mixed reality learning management is rapidly expanding" Read full story Source: CIEHF, 21 July 2022
