Apple said that the health services sector began to use its Vision Pro glasses on a wide range of applications, as doctors inside a hospital in Britain used them to perform two microscopic spinal surgeries, while some relied on them to provide training programs, and others to provide mental and behavioral health services.
The American company explained in a statement that 3 sectors accounted for the largest share of health applications for its Vision Pro glasses, namely "preparation and planning for surgeries, communication and cooperation between medical staff, and providing the necessary care to evaluate mental health and behaviors in patients."
Stryker offers a new app for iPhones and Apple Vision Pro called myMako, which allows doctors to access an interactive experience that allows them to view various health data of patients who need to perform operations to change the thigh or knee bones, completely or partially, from anywhere and with high-resolution three-dimensional imaging.
Boston Children's Hospital has also developed the CyranoHealth app, which provides interactive training programs for students, so that they can learn about various medical equipment and its tasks, as well as have a closer to reality experience.
Apple also highlighted a number of other applications, such as Fundamental Surgery, CollaboratOR 3D, which provides medical training through Vision Pro glasses, as well as Complete HeartX to give students and medical staff a rich experience of interaction with different parts of the human body and delving into their microcomponents, in addition to the Insight Heart application, which provides a three-dimensional experience inside the human heart.
The British "Chrome Well" hospital announced that it is the first hospital in Britain and Europe to use Vision Pro glasses as a tool for organizing and logistics, based on a software system developed by eXeX, according to an official statement. The British Hospital relied on the new system for proper preparation of surgeries, in terms of preparing and equipping equipment, following up on stocks of medical materials and equipment, as well as good allocation of resources.
Doctors and their assistants sometimes need to imagine the true shape of a part of the human body when they scan X-rays, so Siemens Healthineers has developed the Cinematic Reality app, which converts any X-ray images into three-dimensional objects that can be interacted with. Christian Zapf, director of digitization and automation at Siemens Healthineers, confirmed that the new app gives students and doctors the opportunity to immerse themselves inside the human body in an unprecedented experience.
Medical records are one of the most essential elements of accurately providing medical care to patients in health institutions, so Epic Systems has launched a new application for Vision Pro glasses, called Epic Spatial Computing Concept, which allows doctors to complete and view patient records, and allow secure communication between doctors.
For its part, Cedars Sinai Foundation revealed the Xaia application, which relies on Avatar for a cartoon character that accompanies the patient, to provide psychological support based on artificial intelligence techniques, in addition to helping him to obtain meditation sessions and deep breathing exercises. The application tries to put the patient in a state of psychological comfort, whether by providing different digital environments for him to be in and choose his preferences, or he can experience by continuing to see the surroundings of his room in the real world.
