The healthcare community's significant pivot to digital training
Unreal Engine
It is evident that the training landscape is changing at a faster pace than ever in this community. Today, the largest challenge we face as a community is not to prove the appetite for digital simulation for training but to make curriculum easy and accessible.
Luckily, to overcome this obstacle, many are turning to open tools and core technologies that make digital simulation easier than before. We invite you to connect with the Unreal Engine team to learn how to collaborate to build smarter simulations for tomorrow's patients.

Deploying immersive learning in healthcare
AccessVR
Imagine a world where you could train every nurse in your hospital to do a new procedure in just 10 minutes — a world where it takes just hours for nurses to feel confident enough to apply those new skills on their own, instead of months.
Now imagine that same training being available not just for nurses and doctors, but for all hospital staff, including security guards and even patients and visitors. That's the world we're living in today, thanks to immersive learning technology. And deploying it is easier than you may think.

The US population is rapidly aging and growing sicker. Here's how healthcare can prepare
Guamard
Currently, 16% of the United States population is 65 and older, and is expected to increase to 21% by 2040[1]. This population will live with chronic conditions that will require specialized geriatric healthcare. Despite this, the number of healthcare providers qualified to care for elderly patients in the U.S. continues to shrink even as the need increases. However, academic programs and hospitals can use simulation-based training to help combat the shortfall of geriatric care providers by training and upskilling more healthcare professionals before it is too late.

How updated guidelines have had an impact on the infant exam
Limbs & Things
DDH is a condition prevalent in infants, the new NIPE guidelines require baby's hips are screened to catch DDH at it's earliest stage.
In April 2021, the NHS updated its standards for the newborn and infant physical examination (NIPE) which, in addition to screening, includes mandatory reporting of exam completion and resulting actions. The new guidelines state that “all eligible babies are offered the NIPE screen. The screen should be undertaken within 72 hours of birth and then again at 6 to 8 weeks of age.”

VR headset prices high as Apple bides its time
BBC
Last week in Las Vegas I boxed, hunted for cute aliens, flew a laser-shooting robot and drew my own masterpiece - all in virtual reality.
Some of the headsets I used to try out these experiences cost almost twice as much as the smartphone we used to snap the photo above. Arguably they have a lot less functionality, for now at least. So are they worth it?

The metaverse can add a new dimension to medical education
Arabian Business
The boundaries between the physical and the digital worlds are fast closing. Many ideas that we considered science fiction are now a reality. In the same vein, entering a digital world where you can learn medicine and perhaps acquire the skills to perform complex and risky operations is also possible.

Immersive simulation application enables doctors to practice robotic surgery with VR streaming
HospiMedica.com
Ample practices are required for a medical student or even a doctor to become a skillful surgeon operating robotic surgery machine, such as the da Vinci Surgical System or Laparoscopy surgery. Yet, the cost and time of existing practice approach are extremely high. Robotic surgery simulators are available only in medical schools or hospitals, as these simulators are bulky and expensive.

Virtual reality has come a long way, but how long until it reaches mainstream status?
Installation
Entering 2023, virtual reality (VR) is a term most people are probably familiar with or, at the very least, will have heard of. The global AR and VR market is expected to have an annual growth rate of 25.3%, reaching up to $114 billion by the year 2027. Recent statistics suggest that there are well over 171 million VR users worldwide and industries including healthcare, aviation, real estate, retail, and visitor attractions are integrating VR to accelerate customer engagement into the future.

New simulation unit opened to train nurses work in hospitals
Malta Independent
A new nursing simulation unit has been inaugurated by Health Minister Chris Fearne, which will train nurses to work in Maltese hospitals. Fearne said that the simulation within this private institution, IDEA Academy in Mosta, is meant to complement the already-existing institutions which currently offer the only other nursing courses on the island, the University of Malta and MCAST.

Metaverse applications in the real world
Forbes
As the world continues to talk about the metaverse, there is a lot of curiosity about it and how it will be used in the real world. The metaverse is a hypothetical, immersive 3D environment where we can experience life in ways we would not be able to in the physical world. It is believed to be the next iteration of the internet, and it is taking AR/VR to the next level.
