The fireside chat titled "Patient Health and Safety: How will immersive healthcare infrastructure transform patient care?" was conducted on December 14, 2022, during the Metaverse Safety Week. The discussion focused on the opportunities and challenges of immersive healthcare, including treatments, coordinated assisted surgeries, virtual medicine, and rehabilitation, while keeping patient safety and privacy as a priority. The two speakers were Joey Ka-Yee Essoe, a cognitive neuroscientist and experimental psychologist specializing in learning enhancement, and Ryan Cameron, a serial innovator and founder of Electric Puppets Inc.
The speakers discussed the potential of immersive technologies such as VR and mobile apps integrated with psychophysiology and neuroimaging (fMRI, EEG) to optimize evidence-based treatments for childhood neuropsychiatric conditions. They also highlighted the need for a credible network of healthcare professionals, regulatory experts, academic researchers, entrepreneurs, policy experts, insurance experts, and patients to facilitate discussions on scientific, technical, and policy matters in healthcare. The speakers recommended that we should ensure immersive healthcare can create a more precise, accessible, and effective assessment, treatment, diagnosis, and therapy, making the world safer.
