Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic transformed use of telemedicine for healthcare. Many healthcare objectives can be successfully delivered through traditional telemedicine platforms, and others must be delivered in person. Lying between those extremes is a subset of healthcare objectives that might benefit from use of interactive virtual presence, a form of augmented reality that can be delivered on standard smartphones to offer immersive presence as well as simultaneous voice and visual stimuli. Using interactive virtual presence, a healthcare provider can communicate both verbally and visually with a remotely-located patient, but also can interact with that patient through merged reality by pointing with their finger in the patient's smartphone screen, illustrating locations or demonstrating movements. Interactive virtual presence has been demonstrated effective to support surgeons working in remote locations as well as to help parents install car seats properly into their vehicles. Extension of the technology to a range of healthcare purposes, including neuropsychological assessment, pain management treatment, or traumatic brain injury rehabilitation, is feasible, achievable, and recommended.

交互式虚拟存在:远程医疗保健的新工具。
2019冠状病毒病大流行改变了远程医疗在医疗保健领域的使用。许多医疗保健目标可以通过传统的远程医疗平台成功实现,而其他目标则必须亲自实现。介于这两个极端之间的是医疗保健目标的一部分,它们可能受益于使用交互式虚拟呈现,这是一种增强现实的形式,可以在标准智能手机上提供身临其境的呈现以及同步的语音和视觉刺激。使用交互式虚拟呈现,医疗保健提供者可以与远程患者进行口头和视觉交流,还可以通过合并现实与患者进行交互,方法是用手指在患者的智能手机屏幕上指示位置或演示动作。交互式虚拟存在已被证明有效地支持外科医生在偏远地区工作,以及帮助父母正确安装汽车座椅。将该技术扩展到一系列医疗保健目的,包括神经心理学评估、疼痛管理治疗或创伤性脑损伤康复,是可行的、可实现的,并且值得推荐。
