Monash University scientists may well have changed the course of medical science with the release of their brilliant 3D Printed Anatomy Series. It's a kit containing no actual human tissue, but it is an accurate and crucially important tool to teach students the intricacies of human anatomy. The 3-D printed anatomy kit–the result of a cooperative effort between researchers at the Australian university and German anatomical model-maker Erler-Zimmer GmbH–first came to our attention last summer, and it's now available for sale.

It is a procedure that slows up the bill from being taken up for debate on the Senate floor.

U.S. News & World Report
President Barack Obama sketched out an ambitious vision of medical research powered by a vast pool of research volunteers, a growing understanding of the human genome, big data and unlikely collaborators willing to work together to achieve new medical breakthroughs. "My hope is that this becomes the foundation, the architecture, whereby 10 years from now we can look back and say we've revolutionized medicine," Obama told a White House summit to highlight progress on his Precision Medicine Initiative.

As a part of the University of Michigan School of Nursing's new building, which opened last fall, hands-on techniques such as mannequins are used in the facility’s Clinical Learning Center Simulation Lab.
The lifelike patients cost about $80,000 each and can be programmed to bleed, yell in pain, vomit and ask questions. Victoria, the birthing mannequin, can deliver a baby and mimic any type of health complications, such as kidney failure, spetic shock and seizures.

And skills development is increasingly important as the critical services and responsibilities of healthcare teams expand in volume and scope. To keep pace with that expansion, healthcare organizations — from small, community-based facilities that deliver outpatient services, to acute care hospitals with thousands of employees — are investing in training.

So far in 2016, VR has been the darling of Austin, Texas' South by SouthWest, where the top creative minds from film, media and music convened last month. HTC, Oculus and Playstation will all be releasing headsets this year in the race to conquer this emerging market; a market that Goldman Sachs predicts will be bigger than TV in the next 10 years, generating $125 billion in revenues by 2025. But as VR coverage focuses on entertainment and gaming opportunities, its most important applications may come in the health care space. In fact, VR is already playing a role in a number of important medical areas.

Balance doesn’t come as easy to a robot as it does to famous soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo. University of Texas professors Michael Mauk and Peter Stone are solving this inequality with computers and cerebellums. Mauk and Stone are in two very different departments — neuroscience and computer science, respectively — but collaborate on projects to bring these fields together. Right now, they are working on bringing the cerebellum, the part of the brain that directs coordination, to Stone's robot soccer team.
