Assignment 4: Solution Development
Virtual Reality System Architecture
Task: Design the overall VR system architecture, including hardware selection and software integration.
Design Goal: Develop a cohesive VR system that can seamlessly integrate real-time patient data into an anesthesiologist's visual field.
Design Specifications: Select suitable VR hardware (e.g., Meta Quest, Apple Vision Pro) and develop custom software to fetch and display real-time patient data within the VR interface.
User Interface and Experience Design
Task: Create a user friendly interface for the VR system that allows anesthesiologists to easily access and interact with patient data.
Design Goal: Minimize disruptions to clinical procedures while providing critical information at a glance.
Design Specifications: Design a VR interface that enables easy manipulation of data displays (e.g., general patient info, monitored vitals), with considerations for ergonomics and ease of use.
Prototype Development and Testing
Task: Develop a functional prototype of the VR system ready to be tested by a group of anesthesiologists.
Design Goal: To gather user feedback on the prototype’s comfort, usability, and effectiveness in enhancing patient monitoring.
Design Specifications: Produce a prototype that demonstrates the core functionalities of the VR system, focusing on real-time data collection and integration.
Compliance and Safety Assurance
Task: Ensure the VR system complies with medical and data privacy regulations
Design Goal: Achieve a high standard of safety and privacy protection for both patients and healthcare providers.
Design Specifications: Implement security measures and data protections that meet healthcare industry standards.
Training and Implementation
Task: Develop and deploy a training program for anesthesiologists to use the VR system efficiently.
Design Goal: Facilitate smooth adoption of the VR system in clinical settings.
Design Specifications: Create training materials and sessions that cover the operation of the VR system and troubleshooting common issues.
Continuous Improvement and Feedback Integration
Task: Establish a process for ongoing evaluation and improvement of the VR system based on user feedback and potential technological advancements.
Design Goal: Maintain the relevance and effectiveness of the VR system over time, adapting to new requirements and improvements in VR technology.
Design Specifications: Set up a feedback loop with users to gather insights and suggestions, and implement a development cycle for continuous updates and upgrades to the system.
