Featured Talks
REIMAGINE PATIENT EDUCATION THROUGH VIRTUAL REALITY
As we move closer to the reality of an immersive 3D based internet, many questions will become apparent. How will viewing information and data in a new way change how we interact with technology, and each other? More importantly, what examples do we have of this happening currently? And how can healthcare and the medical technology space lead the way? In this talk he will be presenting current examples of Virtual Reality being used to reimagine patient education, some of the successes and hurdles facing user interaction and user testing with virtual reality, and the role of R&D funding at this current iteration of the technology.
