The old days of medical training came with a worn copy of “Gray’s Anatomy” and dissection of cadavers. The future is 3D projections of the brain and musculoskeletal system and surgeries performed with assistance from smart glasses. As augmented and virtual reality in healthcare become more commonplace, the market could top $7 billion annually by 2025. The revolution begins with how medical professionals learn, and research shows that VR can improve student recall significantly. The use of augmented and virtual reality in healthcare can also speed learning and improve technique, which makes the technologies vital tools for improving patient outcomes and quality of life.
SAFER SURGERIES
The adoption of AR and VR technology in medicine really got a jumpstart in 2015, when Dr Maksymilian Opolski of the Warsaw Institute of Cardiology in Poland began using Google Glass to help him in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), in which surgeons open up clogged arteries. The technique traditionally relies on the use of contrast dye, which gives the surgeon a better look at blood flow in front of the blockage. By viewing CT images of a patient’s blood vessels in Google Glass, Opolski could also “see” behind the blockage, giving him a clearer picture of heart function. It also made life a little bit easier for the patients who experience vomiting, cramping, hives, or rash with the injection of contrast dye.

SOFT OPENING - CONSUMER CONFIDENCE A KEY FACTOR IN RECOVERY
As states and territories reopened their economies in various phases throughout May and June, it became clear that simply being open is not enough to get firing on all cylinders again. First, there are safety regulations limiting how many patrons a business can serve at a time. Just as important is consumer confidence. If shoppers don’t feel safe visiting a business, they’re not going to, and there’s no forcing them. Some services requiring intimate personal contact have an even harder time with this. Just because someone can get a massage doesn’t mean they’re comfortable with it.

COMING OUT OF OUR CAVES - LIFE IN PUBLIC AS RESTRICTIONS EASE
The pubs reopened to great rejoicing and some free beer as coronavirus restrictions eased across Australia, although unfortunately, it was too late for millions of litres of suds that had to be tipped down the drain. It was strange to be out, but it felt good once you got used to it. Rules vary by state and territory, but over the past several weeks, Aussies have been able to dine out, go to holiday homes, and gather in small groups once more. Lockdown isn’t lockdown anymore, but that doesn’t mean “normal” is back. Here’s where things stand.
