AWE (Augmented World Expo) is the world’s #1 AR+VR conference and expo since 2010 attracting 10,000 attendees in events spanning the USA, Asia, Europe – and now Tel Aviv.
Ravid Segal, MSR's Chief Technology Officer participated in the conference and sat on a panel that discussed the need for AI, VR and AR in medical training and evaluation and the advantages, disadvantages and the user aspect of adapting these technologies.
MSR , the Israel Center for Medical Simulation is the largest center in Israel, training and/or testing 20,000 healthcare professionals annually.
MSR aims to better prepare these professionals by means of simulation-based training in order to reduce errors, test competency and thus save lives. The VR and AR fields are just now beginning to enter healthcare education and training. I will discuss the difference between what there is and what we need and the lessons learned so far; the need for AI, VR and AR in medical training and evaluation and the advantages, disadvantages and the user aspect of adapting these technologies.
Ravid said "It was an amazing opportunity to be in this conference and to contribute to the design and the path way of using XR (Experience reality) in Health Care and Medical Simulation".
