The reality of virtual reality is a lot closer to the fictional world of “Ready Player One” than most people realize — and much of VR’s future is being imagined and created at the University of Utah. In a basement at the Spencer Eccles Health Library, part of the university's medical school, the EAE’s Therapeutic Games and Apps Laboratory — known as The GApp Lab — student game developers work with medical students to create applications for patients and professionals in training.

CNBC has revealed that technology giant Google is set to partner with the American Medical Association to find new ways to share data within the AMA's Healthcare Interoperability and Innovation Challenge. The challenge will see startups look at new methods to support data sharing between patients and medical providers, particularly for those with long-term health conditions. This could incorporate the importation of patient data from a mobile app or wearable, or the extraction of data from a clinical interface, which is then sent back to a mobile application of health wearable, the Clinical Innovation & Technology has stated.

For the first time, medical students are being evaluated on how they deliver bad news. By the time they receive their diploma, Oregon Health & Science University Medical School’s graduating class of 2018 will have passed a simulated patient encounter in which they delivered news about the passing of a loved one or admitted a medical mistake. After years of interviewing patients and their families, Dr. Susan Tolle, professor of medicine in the division of general internal medicine and geriatrics at OHSU, director of the OHSU Center for Ethics in Health Care, and the leading force behind the initiative, has learned and understood what can go wrong.

The study of the human body is undergoing a major change at the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at the University at Buffalo. The concerted effort to transform the way students and others study and explore human structure was made possible by the Jacobs School's new building, which opened late last year in downtown Buffalo, New York, and returned the 171-year-old school to its historic roots.

 During any emergency, time is everything. Whether it be a sudden cardiac arrest, mass casualty incident or individual trauma, getting prompt attention from skilled personnel is key for survival. However, that skilled personnel may be minutes away, and that could mean the difference between survival and death. Two new groups are looking to tap into their communities to close that time gap in the hopes of saving more lives.

Our immune systems are made up of billions of white blood cells searching for signs of infections and foreign invaders, ready to raise the alarm. Sandia National Laboratories computer scientists Pat Finley and Drew Levin have been working to improve the U.S. biosurveillance system that alerts authorities to disease outbreaks by mimicking the human immune system. They are working with researchers at the University of New Mexico and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

It’s no secret that the U.S. spends a lot on healthcare, around 18 percent of its GDP or $9,400 per capita, nearly double what other high-income countries such as Canada, U.K., Germany and Australia spend. But more spending doesn’t necessarily yield better results.

Nearly 30,000 Americans die each year from an aggressive, gut-infecting bacteria called Clostridium difficile. Resistant to many common antibiotics, C. diff can flourish when antibiotic treatment kills off beneficial bacteria that normally keep the deadly infection at bay. But doctors often struggle to determine when to take preventive action. New machine learning models tailored to individual hospitals could offer a much earlier prediction of which patients are most likely to develop C. diff, potentially helping stave off infection before it starts.
