“MedCognition is a holographic augmented reality critical care training platform, which is a mouthful. Ultimately, it’s frontline training for our of hospital professionals who live to save lives,” Russell J. Unrath, CEO MedCognition said.“Honestly, the brainchild of the product came from Dr. Kevin King, who is a brigade surgeon in the 101st Airborne, and he realized that there was basically inaccurate or unrealistic, unreliable training with plastic mannequins,” Unrath said.
Using HoloLens glasses you can see the PerSim program in action, as the holographic patient is made to help frontline healthcare professionals save more lives.“We’re creating our scenarios rather than in a gamified virtual environment. You’re doing it in the back of an ambulance in the E.R., in the O.R., or in the middle of the woods,” Unrath said.“I absolutely think this is where the medical industry is going.
“We are looking to expand this into every community college, every pair of medicine program, every high school that wants it, and there’s about half a dozen high schools already utilizing our product. And then we’re expanding now into nursing. We’re expanding into critical care, early med schools as well,” Unrath said.Max Massey is the GMSA weekend anchor and a general assignments reporter.
