When virtual reality meets traditional medicine: How the sweet-potatoes chew

.

In medicine, virtual reality is playing an increasingly important role in the diagnosis, rehabilitation and training of diseases.

"Patient male, 54 years old, drink angina pectoris, suspected heart terrier." Current blood pressure is 120/80. ”

"Oxygen inhalation, 300 mg of aspirin to chew." Inject some nitroglycerin. ”

......

"No, the heartbeat stopped, and immediately began to press the heart." ”

"The rescue was invalid and the patient died. "Li Xianda side announced the rescue results, while pushing the door out from the control room," angina patients can take nitroglycerin, heart stem patients must be used with caution, use will cause blood pressure drop, heart rate is too slow, in addition to rescue links, your pressure position is not correct. He carefully told the cause of the accident to the Doctor who was carrying out the rescue.

In real life, the death of the patient due to the failure of the rescue should be regarded as a serious medical accident.

Fortunately, such a scene only occurs in the doctor's ICU treatment training room.

In medicine, virtual reality is playing an increasingly important role in the diagnosis, rehabilitation and training of diseases. It uses the computer and the specialized software constructs a fictitious natural environment, connects the computer and the user as one.

Li Xianda, a Taiwanese man who followed the Kohui medical team several years ago to Shanghai, is now president of the Kohui Medical Clinical Training Center.

"You see, in front of you this ' dummy ', we call it ' imitate person ', English name ' SimMan ', in the training, we may prepare the case beforehand, this simulation person will according to the doctor correct or the wrong operation, automatically makes the fictitious correspondence response. Li Xianda told the first financial daily reporter.

The Swedish company, which produces the "Sims" for doctors ' training for a decade, has developed a third generation that can be programmed to respond to complex illnesses, from the first generation that responds only to cardiopulmonary resuscitation. In their products, in addition to the simulation of the case can be compiled, as well as "simulated baby", "simulated pregnant women," and a series of products. Most of these products have been used in medical training centres, and in some of the country's triple-A hospitals, the main purpose is to allow doctors to learn in a more realistic virtual environment, and to improve the traditional surgical procedures for animal damage.

"From last October we introduced the third generation of Sims to the present, there have been 400 emergency and anesthesia-related medical professionals trained here, so that the more realistic training more effective than ever before." Li Xianda told reporters that the total market value of medical instruments in 4 ICU emergency rooms, including simulator equipment, was as high as 18 million, including Kohui, GE, Siemens and other domestic and foreign brands of medical device products, the more expensive instrument prices are in millions.

It is possible to respond directly to a physician's operation based on prior programming, which comes from virtual reality.

Virtual reality technology can use computer and special software to construct a virtual natural environment, combine user and computer into one adult. Users can through a variety of technical simulation into the virtual environment, to accept and influence the various sensory stimuli in the environment, and the virtual environment of people and things to communicate behavior and ideas. Our common virtual role-playing games, and even Disney's virtual reality stage, built on 4k projection, are the applications of this technology.

Simulation is a virtual reality in the medical application of a kind, we can call it virtual human body.

Virtual human body for medical teaching and training to provide a more vivid way, in many medical device research centers, they will even spend hundreds of millions of yuan to build their own clinical training center, free of charge to the doctors in the hospital to come to study and training.

"We don't actually charge for training, but the doctor will be more familiar with our products because of the training, so the hospital will be more willing to buy our products." Li Xianda to reporters.

In addition to the virtual human body, virtual reality is also playing an increasingly important role in another recent hot medical activity.

It is telemedicine.

Using virtual reality technology in telemedicine, all kinds of physiological parameters can be reflected in the virtual patients in front of medical experts who go northward or even abroad, and the experts can make a conclusion in time and give the corresponding treatment measures. In this way, the use of telemedicine technology, even in remote areas of patients can be experienced doctors, especially those who are unable to solve the problems of local doctors.

Among them, long-distance surgery is an important part of telemedicine. During surgery, the surgeon operates in a virtual patient environment to control the movement of the robot that is operating in the distance for the actual patient. Currently, experts from the Georgia Medical School and the Georgia Institute of Technology have collaborated to develop a robot capable of remote eye surgery. These robots, under the control of experienced ophthalmologists, are safer to perform eye surgery without the need for a doctor to go to the scene in person.

In addition to the micro-operation robot, foreign experts have put forward a virtual operation system composed of sensors, expert system, remote operation and virtual environment, which can perform remote operation on the one hand and a special remote expert consultation system in case of sudden disaster. Using this system, the doctors in the front can pass the situation to the experienced doctor in time when they check the wounded, and the doctor in the rear can display the treatment plan in the form of the virtual environment to the front of the doctor, so that the wounded can get timely rescue and reduce the casualties.

In a document issued by the central government in January this year, the State has explicitly put forward policy support for telemedicine, hoping to develop rural health care industry through telemedicine.

In the corresponding capital market, telemedicine has already become a piece of sweet cakes. Related to the earlier Neusoft Group (600718.SH) and the Ningbo municipal government in March this year formally set up "Yun Hospital", the core is telemedicine. It is understood that the first access to the "Ningbo Yun Hospital" platform of the primary medical institutions a total of 100, contracted specialist doctors, family doctors 226, the initial stage can be high blood pressure, diabetes, psychological counseling, general practitioner four Direction consulting room treatment.
