Virtual Reality Advancing Medicine
VR Seeing Your Pain
VR, AI & AR Showing Doctors Where It Hurts
New technologies, including Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality and Artificial Intelligence, are the backbone of a breakthrough medical device - the CLARAi VR. It enables clinicians to see a patient's pain in real-time. It offers medical staff a more precise and accurate means to assess a patient's level of pain.
CLARAi VR
The technology was developed by researchers at the University of Michigan. CLARAi stands for clinical augmented reality and artificial intelligence system. A key component is a cap loaded with sensors. The sensors can measure changes in oxygen and blood flows to the brain to help the medical team calibrate the level and location of the patient's pain.
Augmented Reality Goggles
The data is provided in real-time to the patient's medical team. Using augmented reality glasses, they can view the pain location and intensity as red and blue dots. A computer screen also shows the specific "pain signature" on the brain. This system has been successfully tested on dental patients. The University of Michigan team hopes to expand its use to other types of pain and conditions. Their work was just published in the journal Medical Internet Research.
