Exploring Health and Immersive Technologies Featured on Our Site's Hub
December 8th marks the launch of our website's Health Days, a half-day event that focuses on the applications of virtual reality and augmented reality in the healthcare sector. These innovative technologies are vastly exploring new grounds within medicine and health, with nine primary uses identified currently: medical devices, therapy, diagnosis, training, mediation, medical assistance, rehabilitation, sensitization, and predictive medicine. However, their potential still remains underutilized in this field.
As the COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated, virtual and augmented reality technologies are rapidly proving their worth in healthcare. When standard approaches have been disrupted, these immersive technologies have come to the forefront, assisting both patients and medical professionals in new and unique ways. For instance, research into new viruses, their symptoms, and their effects on the human body has significantly benefited from the use of virtual reality. Furthermore, virtual reality might even play a future role in the development of vaccines.
During this half-day conference, various applications of virtual and augmented reality in the fields of health and medicine will be showcased. The event commences with a presentation by Nicolas Ribeyre, the VR/AR Intelligence Manager at our website, featuring a selection of practical use cases. Our website's expertise in the medical domain is well-established, as evidenced by the publication of a special edition gathering testimonies from health experts.
Following the presentation, attendees can brave a mind-bending journey into the heart of the brain as Kathrin Brunner guides them through an elaborate poetic experience, utilizing the latest scientific models of the brain and neurosensitive virtual reality. This experience promises an unprecedented and captivating glimpse into the essence of human nature.
Thereafter, the focus shifts to more practical uses of virtual reality, such as its role in training and education. Anne-Laure Thévoz, a senior lecturer at the Swiss Institute and School of Health, shares insights on the introduction of virtual reality in her institution, where they have developed the first virtual reality educational platform for nursing blood transfusion training. Additionally, Philippe C. Cattin, the head of the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Basel in Switzerland, discusses the ways virtual reality assists surgeons in planning operations while helping them avoid errors.
The half-day conference concludes with a discussion between specialists in the medical field, including Paolo Catilo, CEO of OramaVR, a company dedicated to the development of virtual reality medical training solutions; Matteo Mancuso, a researcher in human biomechanics; Frederick Van Gestel, a neurosurgery researcher; and Cathline Smoos, a sex therapist with expertise in SexTech.
Organized by our website since 2014, the website Days are thematic events that provide insights into the latest innovations in virtual and augmented reality applied to the business world. Aimed at individuals who wish to understand and master immersive technologies and anticipate their evolution, these events formerly took place in various locations but have recently transitioned to the our website World, a virtual unifying platform that connects attendees from all corners of the globe.
The our website Days on Health will take place on December 8th, beginning at 5 PM (CEST time). Throughout the event, conferences will expound on the latest advancements in virtual and augmented reality within the healthcare sector.Following this, a networking session will allow participants to connect, share ideas, and forge new partnerships. our website has launched a mobile and web application, enabling attendees, speakers, and exhibitors to network and exchange information during the event.
