MR Medcial technology: Today's technology of the future

Mixed Reality in medical technology, or MR medical technology for short, is the future of medicine. Here, we are at the link between virtual planning and real-world patient care, developing a highly precise tool for intuitive, networked, and interactive work.

In hospitals where surgical teams and medical technology managers work hand in hand, Mixed Reality in medicine offers a new opportunity to design safe and efficient processes.

Held+Team will show you how medical facilities can embark on the path to a digital future with MR medical technology and how digital reality in hospitals can fundamentally change medical practice.

Mixed Reality (MR) exists on an intermediate level between virtual reality and the real world. Like artificial intelligence in medical technology, it is already being used in modern clinics. It allows users to interactively integrate digital information into the physical environment. Unlike virtual reality (VR), which creates entirely virtual worlds, or augmented reality (AR), where virtual content is overlaid on the real environment, MR creates a connection between the two approaches: virtual and physical objects coexist and influence each other.

Held+Team would like to illustrate MR in medical technology with an example: A surgeon wears MR glasses, such as the Microsoft HoloLens, while standing in front of a patient. At the same time, they see not only the physical body but also a three-dimensional model of the structure that needs to be treated in the operation. These models can be edited in real time or adapted with annotations via gestures, speech, or eye tracking.

MRI in medical technology can be used for various applications in hospitals. These include, for example: - Mixed Reality in Surgery:

Not only medical staff benefit from mixed reality in hospitals, but also patients. The integration offers patients a multitude of advantages:

MR in medical technology thus not only contributes to the modernization of hospitals, but also to more patient-centered and transparent medicine and treatment methods.

To effectively utilize MR in medical technology, several prerequisites must be met. These include, among other things, the expansion of the technical infrastructure. Hospitals must install high-performance networks that ensure sufficient computing power is available. Simultaneously, MR-compatible devices must be acquired.

Furthermore, software integration is essential. MR in medical technology can generally be seamlessly integrated into existing systems such as PACS, RIS, or HIS. However, data protection is also a crucial consideration: Secure data processing and GDPR-compliant transmission channels must be developed and tested beforehand to guarantee legally compliant use.

Furthermore, comprehensive training is required for staff who will be working with mixed reality in the hospital. Practical training and the intuitive usability of the system are crucial for seamless integration into daily work. Therefore, implementing mixed reality in medical technology is not a one-day process, but rather a strategic innovation program that requires time and expertise.

Held+Team supports you with any questions you may have about mixed reality in medicine and provides expert guidance. As specialists in medical design, we understand the challenges of innovation in the medical field, but we see it as our responsibility, within the context of medical technology design, to guide you and your workplace into the future of medical treatments and provide you with comprehensive support.

The use of mixed reality is still in its infancy. However, it is clear that its use will continue to increase in the future. Mixed reality in medical technology creates new opportunities to share expertise globally in order to optimize patient care.

At the same time, it ensures better patient care in the long term; not only through new possibilities for procedures, but also regarding aftercare, prevention, and communication.

Held+Team sees mixed reality as a new dimension for working precisely, visually, and interactively. By combining digital knowledge with physical reality, significant added value is created for medical staff and patients.
