Qualcomm enters the medical community to use VR technology for phobia treatment in the future

Seeking better medical help is an important issue for human progress, and virtual reality is coming to us in improving medical training.

The most important thing in the medical world besides the theoretical foundation is "experience." "Virtual reality may not provide real-world experience, but it circumvents the risk of error. Failure is an integral part of learning, but VR training is a completely secure and closest-to-realistic training method." Qualcomm XR ( Leilani DeLeon, project manager for AR and VR).

According to Ubergizmo, Qualcomm recently hopes to ensure that its SnapdragonVR platform can be applied to other areas. The company launched a VR medical training demonstration created by Dallas content publisher ForwardXP and a consultant physician to promote popular F. A. S. The T method teaches the user how to judge the situation of a person's stroke.

F. A. S. T. It is a memory method used to memorize the common observable symptoms of stroke: sagging face, weak arm, and ambiguous speech. T stands for “time to get medical help,” which seems a bit redundant, but helps to tie the first three letters to an unforgettable word. In Qualcomm's demo, the experiencer used the company's Snapdragon835 virtual reality development kit to wear the device, and the experiencer found himself in a space-like medical bay with a flying robot that explained every step of the simulation. By the way, all of this is done with computer graphics, not a live description of a person's stroke. After a brief introduction, a man appeared in the chair in front of me, with shoulders undulating and struggling to breathe.

DeLeon said, “There is no doubt that medical training is consistent, standard and available.” She told the media that it is a very big task for the company to train doctors around the world, and at the same time Standard training is available for VR headsets around the world to make this process faster and more convenient.

DeLeon said that VR technology can also play a role in the treatment of phobias. For example, some people are afraid of snakes and can learn to overcome snakes in simulations. In this simulation, reptiles are first introduced at the periphery, then in number and distance. increase.

"Now these projects are not widely implemented in local medical institutions, but Qualcomm's mobile medical VR push can help change this situation." DeLeon said.

At the same time, Qualcomm has not announced how it will work with healthcare providers to bring such training simulations to the rest of the world. But this demonstration makes me believe that in addition to medical training, as well as education, VR still has space. By adding VR courses, students can learn better and enable them to learn more.
