Making Robotic Ultrasounds Patient-Friendly
Combining AI conversation and mixed reality for better healthcare experiences
This research introduces an innovative approach to improving patient acceptance of robotic ultrasound procedures through AI-powered conversation and immersive visualization technologies.
- Integrates a large language model virtual agent that engages patients in natural conversations
- Offers three mixed reality visualization options (AR, augmented virtuality, and full VR)
- Enhances patient trust, comfort, and overall experience during medical diagnostics
- Demonstrates how AI and mixed reality can transform patient-machine interactions in medical settings
This advancement matters for healthcare as it addresses a critical barrier to robotic diagnostic adoption - patient acceptance - potentially enabling wider implementation of these efficient diagnostic tools while maintaining positive patient experiences.
