Rijksmuseum Boerhaave has a demonstration of what it would have looked like to have surgery on your hand centuries ago. I wish such (by the way, not so complicated) technologies would gain the attention of medical schools. Imagine studying anatomy on your own hand through this immersive experience. I know the Apple Vision Pro and Hololens can do better but they are expensive. This is not.
I love it! Nevertheless, when it comes to school education, I am of the opinion that, in addition to anatomy, some preventive medicine and health should be taught, as well as some concepts of illness, because these are things that accompany us all our lives and are should be taught in schools as part of it.
kind of intense to a non-md such as myself. but i actually thought that a rather high proportion of such surgeries centuries ago would have instead involved simply a saw and/or a cleaver. however, i realize that's not nearly as captivating of a digital recreation on one's own hand/arm.
Absolutely impressive to see how immersive technology can bridge the gap between historical medical practices and contemporary education. 👏👏
This is great. Thanks for posting
Not sure the portability (or cost) of this device, but this would be a great tool to pique interest in medicine to younger students during a career day demonstration.
Immediate patient education. Now they know
The surgeon: "But first, a stiff shot of whiskey to calm my nerves!"
For a doctor's appointment, the patient becomes a co-investigator.
This raises an important question: how can we make such immersive and interactive learning tools more widely available to medical schools and students
