When people think of augmented reality in marketing, most gravitate toward the work that has been done by major consumer product companies. While these products provide value and are popular among shoppers, the biggest opportunity to impact people’s lives is through pharma and healthcare AR engagements. According to a report from West, 91 percent of people with chronic diseases need help managing those diseases between doctor's appointments.

When Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences broke ground on a state-of-the-art simulation center in June, Darrin D'Agostino revealed the instructions the school's president, Marc Hahn, had given him for its design.
D'Agostino, the dean of the university's osteopathic medical school, said Hahn told him to "make it future-proof." “By the way, I’m a hologram right now, I’m not actually here," D'Agostino said at a ceremony that included Mayor Sly James and several donors.

Who doesn’t love a good magic trick? But combine some great sleight of hand with a trip to the dentist? The result is ... well ... magical. Abra-ca-dabra! And just like that, going to the dentist is no longer scary for a little one.
It’s not unusual for young children to fear going to the dentist, but Dr. Eyal Simchi of Riverfront Pediatric Dentistry in New Jersey works hard every day to change that. Dr. Simchi and his team regularly post endearing videos on Facebook of fun interactions with his young patients.

Researchers at UT Southwestern in Dallas are using machine learning to predict which patients will benefit most from intensive high blood pressure treatment. The decision tree algorithm they developed combines three simple variables routinely collected during clinic visits to identify adults with hypertension who are at the highest risk for early major adverse cardiovascular events, such as death, heart attack or stroke.

Around 20 people in the United States die every day waiting for a replacement organ. There simply aren’t enough people donating organs to save all of these people, but this isn’t even the biggest problem. Donated organs only last so long before the recipient’s body starts rejecting them, and medication can only delay that process. Eventually, all donated organs have an expiration date. The solution to this problem is to replace a patient’s organs with new organs made from the patient’s own cells.

Administering needle-based procedures in anesthesiology, such as epidurals, is a complex and delicate procedure, and the current training methods for doctors are costly and fall short in preparing them for every patient and situation they will face.
A new provisional patent from the Penn State College of Engineering plans to change that. The haptic force needle insertion simulator, created by a team of researchers led by Jason Moore, associate professor of mechanical engineering, is a low-cost, handheld device that simulates the tactic feeling of the instrument passing through several layers of tissue.

The patient at the clinic was in his 40s and had lost both his legs to Type 1 diabetes. He had mental health and substance abuse problems and was taking large amounts of opioids to manage pain. He was assigned to Nichole Mitchell, who in 2014 was a newly minted nurse practitioner in her first week of a one-year postgraduate residency program at the Community Health Center clinic in Middletown, Connecticut. In a regular clinical appointment, “I would have been given 20 minutes with him, and would have been without the support or knowledge of how to treat pain or Type 1 diabetes,” she said.

Traumatic brain injury can be one of the most devastating injuries that can happen to a human. Because the damage is invisible, TBI and stroke sufferers often have trouble convincing others that the injury is real, and the variety of symptoms make effective therapies harder to design and administer. But now one researcher at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles is investigating whether stroke and TBI survivors can benefit from using a driving simulator designed for auto racing to test for neurological deficits and retrain survivors to drive safely.

Healthcare Info Security
What if every time you walked down any street in any city, automated cameras - attached to street lights, business facades, mailboxes or homes, or in the form of "body cams" worn by police officers and parking attendants - automatically scanned your face and uploaded a biometric fingerprint to a central server? Or if every time you took a photograph, your smartphone sent a copy to a server for biometric analysis? And what if these servers were monitored by a third-party provider that shared the fingerprints with marketing firms and law enforcement agencies, including border control agencies?

In the last few years, geographic information systems, geography, geospatial science and visualization have been applied much more often in the public health work of the U.S Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. A major operating component of the federal, cabinet-level Department of Health and Human Services, the CDC is the principal government agency charged with conducting and maintaining a wide range of critical public health activities.

As hospitals seek to improve the consumer's healthcare journey, the patient financial experience may be the best area of focus for boosting customer satisfaction and the bottom line, according to a national study from Experian Health. The study, conducted in September, included a survey of 1,000 healthcare consumers and select providers.
