Teaching

• MBBS Anatomy 3D simulation study
  Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) are strong technologies to enforce active 3D learning in the (medical) curricula. In anatomy teaching we are running trials evaluating the spatial anatomy understanding of students, in collaboration with teachers and students.
  
  
• Biopsy Application Computed tomography (CT) guided interventions are taught across the world mostly using a traditional mentored approach on real patients. However, it is well established that simulation is a valuable training tool in medicine. This project assessed the feasibility and acceptance of replicating a CT guided intervention using a bespoke software application within an augmented reality head mounted display (ARHMD) - the Microsoft HoloLens.

In the field

• Mixed-reality headsets in hospitals help protect doctors and reduce need for PPE
  Staff at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust are wearing the Microsoft HoloLens headsets as they work on the COVID-19 wards, helping patients in the most high-risk area of some of London’s busiest hospitals
