“Here is where Second Life a free 3D virtual world where users can socialize and connect, could have an important role in medical education. Imagine the following scenario. You read about treatments for Diabetic Ketoacidosis, Respiratory Failure, STEMI, Pulmonary Edema, Heart Failure etc you name it. Once you read about it instead of having your usual, boring and annoying test your test becomes a 3d Virtual game where you get to exercise your knowledge.

We present work in progress on a tele-immersion system for telerehabilitation using real-time stereo vision and virtual environments. Stereo reconstruction is used to capture user’s 3D avatar in real time and project it into a shared virtual environment, enabling a patient and therapist to interact remotely.

“Voici une vidéo sur la réalité virtuelle (de la simulation 3D) appliquée au domaine médical. C’est extrait du Journal de la Santé © de France 5. La diffusion du reportage remonte au 6 mars 2009.
Nous en sommes techniquement là. Et à ce stade on peut se dire que la vulgarisation, la diffusion, de ces systèmes semble relativement proche.”

“An IBM technology innovation for intelligent electronic patient records using a 3D model of the human body, has proved to be practical and valuable in a first trial at a Danish Hospital. Using a map or avatar of the human body, medical staff at the Thy-Mors Hospital are now able obtain an overview of each patient’s record at a glance. The software called Medical Information Hub (MIH) was created by scientists at IBM’s Zurich Research Laboratory in collaboration with experts from IBM Denmark, and is a forward-thinking step towards user-friendly and smarter healthcare. IBM and Business Partner Nhumi Technologies will collaborate in the commercialization of the technology and plan to work together to further develop innovative healthcare solutions.”

“In Second Life, a computer world where just about anything goes, several physicians and health care professionals are finding that “anything” can include work that makes real life easier for themselves, their colleagues and their patients.
But in a world void of the laws and protections governing real-life medical professionals, taking advantage of the opportunities a virtual world offers comes with risks.”

“Cancer patients stick to their medication regimen thanks to Re-Mission, a specially designed video game that teaches adherence to treatment plans. Re-Mission players control a tiny robot called Roxxi who moves around in a 3-D environment representing the inside of the body of a young cancer patient. Players can use Roxxi to blast cancer cells and control side effects, and winning the game requires taking chemotherapy drugs and antibiotics, using relaxation techniques, eating food, and keeping up with other types of self-care.”
