Clinical Education Innovation Enabled by XR Space Medicine Technology

Head-mounted extended reality (XR) has emerged as a powerful tool in medical education for simulation of clinical and surgical situations. Another potentially XR may be to help clinicians further understand disease from the patient’s perception. In our work develop training astronauts undergoing interplanetary gravitational transitions, we identified unique opportunity also this emerging specializing vestibulo-ocular disease. By emulating patient perception disease, increase understanding insight into care future. This is component developing NASA-funded, head-mounted multimodal visual assessment framework assess subtle changes astronaut vision. promising one day serve useful countermeasure both individuals on Earth space.
