Virtual reality (VR) is a very novel game mode for gamers, but it can also change the world in other ways. Shauna Heller was the one who discovered this potential, so she quit her job at Oculus VR and became a career consultant dedicated to bringing other relevant application models of VR into people's daily lives. One of the projects she took over was to use VR simulation to guide doctors on how to deal with infants and young children in crisis situations.
Heller lets developers and technical experts work with surgeons at Los Angeles Children's Hospital (CHLA). Later they created a virtual reality simulation scenario to help train doctors to rescue babies who are suffering from certain seizure symptoms or suffering from anaphylactic shock.
In this project, the Heller team worked with Oculus VR, a consumer VR product manufacturer, on the basis of the Oculus Rift headset VR glasses and touch handles. Since the beginning of 2016, it has undergone two prototype versions.
In early 2017, the team completed the delivery of a model product, and as the user community continues to expand, the development and medical teams will continue to monitor and enhance the VR product. About 18 developers participated in the project.
“This is really a very important part of the VR field,†said Heller, former head of Oculus project and head of non-game VR project. “What we need to do is apply this technology in the field of medical education. Know that we can save the lives of those children."
Facebook's Oculus VR division (manufacturer of the Oculus Rift VR helmet) funded the project. This is one of the projects in the company called "VR for good". In fact, in the long run, these projects may bring the true value of VR to this society.
Heller is one of the early founding members of the Oculus team. Compared with the game, she is more concerned about other uses of VR. As a consultant, she got some inspiration from Oculus, which is to provide health care education through an immersive VR. Heller has been involved in the development of AiSolve and BioflightVR. Since both companies have previously conducted VR simulation medical experiments, it has facilitated their communication with doctors in the hospital.
Heller said: "BioflightVR was created by the Hollywood visual effects engineer of the CBS program Crime Scene Survey (CSI), who want to put their skills into projects with greater social impact. Fortunately, they finally There are places available in the medical field."
“The ultimate vision of Bioflight VR is very ambitious. It may be able to portray the future of medical training,†said Rik Shorten, chief creative officer and co-founder of the company. “Using VR to train doctors and residents in medical related skills, except This, I really can't think of any place for my team to play more talents."
The UK-based AiSolve is an immersive training and simulation company that has developed a proprietary AI framework for VR-related content. Like BioflightVR, both companies maintain a close working relationship with the hospital.
Based on some of the scenario ideas put forward by doctors, AiSolve's team of programmers combined with the medical environment created an artificial intelligence-driven virtual world where participants can interact with virtual patients, virtual medical staff, or other relevant parameters. Related diagnoses or re-evaluation of the diagnosis.
The chances of an pediatric emergency are small, but one minute and one second will be important with reference to the child's own considerations. Because of the time pressure, young surgeons need proficiency or relevant practical knowledge and experience, but they can't get enough practice in real life.
According to CHLA doctor Todd Chang, these trainees usually have to work with the mannequins, and a single hospital costs nearly $430,000 a year to use the surgeon's training scenarios. Heller believes that the relevant costs of the VR system will definitely be lower than this amount.
AiSolve CEO Devi Kolli said in a statement: "This advanced medical training is the real use of VR. Working with our project team and CHLA doctors, we can use artificial intelligence and VR simulation technology to make Virtual and real-life scenarios are constantly approaching. This was almost impossible before. In addition, AI can provide students with personalized learning solutions, and there is no doubt that this technology will reinforce their skills.
VR simulation can not only restore the scene, but also gain experience in controllable training, measure the performance index and adjust it in time.
In a simulated emergency, the medical staff is in a hurry, the nurses and technicians and the doctors discuss the decision, the parents are constantly praying for the children, and so on. It looks like a real Hollywood drama, just virtual. This provides the surgeon with an emergency scene in life that is not real life but very realistic.
“VR is a training and evaluation tool for medical first aid. We have been conducting a lot of tests. According to the feedback from the preliminary results, the effect is very good,†CHLA doctor Josh Sherman said in a public statement. Even doctors who have little experience with video games can get started quickly and give us very good feedback. Of course, we also see some stress reactions similar to real life in VR experiments. Although we are trained People know that this is just a simulation, but it feels real, and this is exactly what makes everything look different.
By restoring the real cases, VR and students can repeatedly experience those difficult situations until they make the right diagnosis and treatment plan. CHLA has begun to offer two training modes for medical students, residents and doctors. As time goes by, the training of surgeons will become easier and easier.
Based on these results, Oculus hopes to gain more support in the professional medical field.
Devi Kolli, CEO of AiSolve, believes that the mission of CHLA (Los Angeles Children's Hospital) is to work with medical experts to ensure technical and environmental precision so that virtual training can be cross-industry and diverse.
Experience learning is the best way to improve your pediatric emergency treatment plan. We can clearly see that VR simulation technology is constantly improving every week. VR can provide a separate training program for beginners, not all of them are following the same schedule, which is why students can practice more often.
