Virtual Worlds, Digital Twins, XR, and AI in Medical Technology

Digital device, machinery, and equipment twins, AR and VR technology, virtual 3D worlds, as well as Artificial Intelligence, impact the entire value chain of medical technology companies. Using specific use cases and best practice examples, this keynote presentation showcases the extensive potential for utilization from development through training, marketing & sales to technical support. Forward-thinking topics such as the Industrial Metaverse and Generative AI are also addressed in their concrete usage perspective.

A solution Center for High Tech in Medical Engineering: CASE4Med

The usage of advanced technologies like simulation, high performance computing, AI or XR requires significant knowledge. Especially small and medium sized companies often find it difficult to find the time to take a closer look at these technologies, which in turn often leads to missed chances, that competitors might benefit from. The medical solution center CASE4Med is an initiative that will help companies to overcome this by creating a community of different stakeholders, whose combination will benefit all. It is not only oriented towards companies who might use these technologies, but also addresses product developers, service providers, consultants as well as researchers and sector associations. By bringing together the different players in these fields a thorough exchange becomes much easier, challenges can be addressed together, cooperation with universities will be easier and technology transfer will be eased significantly. This CASE4Med will be introduced and the topics it can address will be presented, in order to explain how win-win constellations can help everyone.

The Power of 3D Visualization: VR Configurators and Beyond for Medical Technology

Delivering top-quality, diverse, and emotionally engaging marketing content through 3D: Using a specific customer example, Meyle+Müller provides insights into the possibilities of 3D in medical technology – from creating visual content for product images and emotional videos to using VR to create entirely new product experiences.

Digital Twins in the Industrial Metaverse for Medical Technology

Digital twins, representing either real or purely virtual products, have the potential to significantly enhance quality, productivity, and efficiency. The Industrial Metaverse provides the optimal access to digital twins, facilitating a new level of collaboration among all stakeholders throughout the entire product lifecycle. This presentation introduces the topic and demonstrates productive applications through practical examples.

Future Developments with Multiview VR Displays on LED Basis to a New Level

The development of medical products is advancing at an unstoppable pace, with ever shorter cycles. Here, three-dimensional views of complex products and involvement from various areas within the company or partners can be a great aid and accelerator.
Instead of cumbersome VR goggles, our system can display virtual models on an LED display using simple shutter glasses, allowing multiple viewers to see the models from their own perspective. Participants can not only naturally recognize each other and interpret gestures and facial expressions without doubt but also discuss the virtual model in front of them by naturally pointing with hand or finger while engaging with others.
We present our technology and demonstrate how it can be advantageously utilized in development.

Modern Training Methods through the Use of XR Technologies

In this presentation, we highlight the possibilities of integrating XR technologies sensibly into training and further education.
In the first part of the presentation, we provide an introduction to the terminology and an overview of current XR technologies.
We present new learning and teaching methods to make training and further education more interactive and thus more effective.
We introduce hybrid learning formats, where different media for learning theory are optimally linked with simulations for active training to enhance understanding.
This provides you with a new awareness of contemporary and future-oriented learning methods.
To deepen the information, we offer the opportunity to practically try out a selection of XR technologies with thematically relevant applications.

XR Training Platform

Actimage's innovative XR platform, ActiXR-Skills, enables manufacturers to create customized training scenarios and simulations specific to their medical devices and products, enhancing learning experiences through the latest XR technology. It features a user-friendly interface, pre-built templates and interactive elements. This intuitive design allows users to easily configure their training environments and integrate custom assets, tailoring the platform to specific training needs and objectives.

Using AI and VR for training in Medical (presentation in English)

The presentation will revolve around recent developments in AI with Chat GPT, and how these new tools can be used to improve current training for Doctors and Medical Sales executives. By creating immersive and interactive VR environments, users can have real time dialogue with an Avatar in a role of their choosing. We discuss the various social, environmental and economic benefits of future learning technologies.
