Is The Oculus Quest Powerful Enough to Deliver Portable Surgical Simulations?
Untethered VR Surgical Solutions Turns VR From a Training Tool into a Marketing Tool
Medical animation and surgical simulation developer, Ghost Productions, Inc. has completed feasibility testing on the Oculus Quest cordless virtual reality headset and the results are promising. Their tests challenged the medical rendering capabilities of the wireless VR headset and while it was not capable of delivering photo-realistic imagery it could interact with surgical anatomy in real time. These findings allow for a profound shift in VR’s adoption within the medical industry that has been slow to take advantage of the many benefits VR’s simulation-based training can provide.
5 Reasons Hospitals Won’t Adopt Your New Medical Device
If your company developed a new medical device, you might find yourself in a frustrating position. The healthcare industry is known for slow adoption of new technology. Innovators face the challenge of persuading physicians, purchasing agents and other healthcare staff to invest in their product while ensuring it will improve workflow and patient care. Even though patients expect to see their physicians using new technology, less than 30 percent¹ of healthcare organizations seek change.
Medical Device Marketing
Marketing medical devices is quite an involved process that requires extensive planning and careful attention to detail. It requires developing a medical device marketing strategy that gets the right information into the hands of the right people at the right times. Depending on your device and your goals, your target audience might be physicians, hospitals, distributors, patients or a combination of several groups. You need to be able to thoroughly explain to your audience what your device is, how it would benefit them and why they should purchase it.
Your Guide to Selling New Medical Equipment to Value Analysis Committees
In the past, sales reps who wanted to pitch a new medical device or piece of medical equipment to a hospital or other medical provider usually approached the doctors at the practice. As with other types of sales, it was the job of the rep to woo and win over the doctors. A rep not only wanted to show a team of doctors how the equipment he or she was selling was better, he or she usually also wanted to get on the doctor’s good side.
Unconventionally Comfortable Waiting Room with Suspended Furniture
How we made our office entryway attractive, fun, and comfortable while also creating a relaxing lounge for team members and clients for around $500.
Now that we’ve completed our move into our new studio space, we can focus on updating and outfitting our new office with our own Ghost Productions sense of style. Because our entry way is the first thing that our visitors will see we, decided to start there and make our waiting room a creative space. As with any office update it is important to begin by determining, needs, realizing assets, and setting a budget.
Airborne Pathogens In The OR
Air quality in health care facilities is becoming an increased concern due to airborne pathogens that may include antibiotic-resistant bacteria and highly contagious viruses.
Ghost Productions creates magnificent 3D animations that help explain the complex process of how airborne pathogens, which are invisible to the naked eye, pass from one part of a healthcare facility to another; go from a patient to a healthcare practitioner; or pass from a patient to infect another patient.
The Transformation Of Healthcare Through 3D Medical Animations
Virtual reality (VR) is still in its infancy, but this long-promised, never-previously quite-achieved technology took its first tentative steps into the real world recently, with the official launch of the Oculus Rift headset/VR system. Content suitable for the entertainment or edification of the general public is still largely lacking, but the technology promises to continue the transformation begun by the use of 3D animation — and few industries stand to benefit more than medicine.
The History — And Future — Of Medical Conferences
Medical conferences are eagerly anticipated annual events for many physicians. Depending on a physician’s specialty and schedule, he or she might feel motivated to attend two or more conferences in a given year. Historically, medical conferences have functioned as forums for exploring new ideas, techniques, procedures and best practices.
They also represent excellent opportunities to present the results of new research, while exploring issues ripe for additional investigation. Conferences are where relationships are forged, ideas are explored, careers are advanced, research projects are conceived, information is 
exchanged and issues are debated. And, increasingly, they’re an important destination for medical device manufacturers eager to display the merits of their wares.
Emerging Technology And Innovative Surgical Methods for Aortic Valve Replacement
We recently assisted medical device innovator, Direct Flow Medical, Inc., by creating a medical animation video to demonstrate its Direct Flow Medical® Transcatheter Aortic Valve System. The system represents a new approach to the repair of aortic st enosis. Of course, aortic stenosis involves declining heart function due to faulty aortic valves. Whether it stems from scarring and calcification associated with advanced age, a congenital defect, or post-infection tissue damage, the valve fails to open fully. This restricts blood flow from the heart to the body.
