Improving Medical Diagnosis Accuracy with VR Technology
Project Planning, Strategy, and Our Process
Requirement Analysis
EFFE Technology collaborated with a leading healthcare provider aiming to elevate diagnostic capabilities and clinical training through virtual solutions. The focus was to implement VR in Medical Assessment to reduce real-world errors, offer consistent training, and enhance patient evaluations.
Design and Development
We developed a highly immersive VR in Medical Assessment platform with modules designed for different specialties such as cardiology, neurology, and general diagnostics. Key features included:
-
Simulated Patient Interactions: Doctors and nurses practiced communication and diagnostic questioning with virtual patients.
-
Anatomical Assessments in 3D: Detailed models allowed professionals to examine organ functions, injury simulations, and pathology changes.
-
Procedure-Based Simulations: Training on procedures like taking vitals, diagnosing strokes, or cardiac events in real time.
-
Performance Metrics: Built-in analytics tracked response time, diagnostic accuracy, and procedural efficiency.
Customization and Scalability
The VR in Medical Assessment tool was designed to scale across various departments and skill levels. Custom modules could be created for hospitals, medical colleges, or individual departments. Future updates were supported to reflect the latest medical protocols and technologies.
Testing and Feedback Loop
Healthcare professionals tested the solution in clinical labs and teaching hospitals. Their insights led to significant UX improvements and enhanced realism in patient simulations. Feedback ensured the VR in Medical Assessment environment was both intuitive and medically precise.
Deployment and Training
The VR system was deployed on Oculus and compatible desktop platforms. Onboarding included hands-on demos, workshops, and documentation to help doctors and educators integrate VR in Medical Assessment into their curriculum or daily routines.
