How Virtual Reality Is Expanding Health Care
Clinicians can help patients recover from strokes while they’re anywhere in the world—even states or countries far away from each other—by using a combination of robotics and virtual-reality devices. It’s happening at Georgia Institute of Technology, where Nick Housley runs the Sensorimotor Integration Lab. There, patients undergoing neurorehabilitation, including those recovering from a stroke, are outfitted with robotic devices called Motus, which are strapped to their arms and legs. The goal: to speed up recovery and assist with rehabilitation exercises. Patients and practitioners using the syste...

Board #153 - Research Abstract The Creation of a Simulator Value Index Tool by Connected Consensus (Submission #8590).
Conclusion: The product from this work (SVI Worksheet tool) can be applied aid the simulator purchase process across countries, institutions, and stakeholder. We are hopeful that simulator purchase processes might include the SVI Worksheet with the intention to maintain alignment with educational goals, while still accounting for other factors considered at the institutional level. At the same time, common measures might facilitate future communication across academic medical institutions and simulator industry. More evaluation is required following broad-scaled implementation.
