Use of Virtual Reality for Complex Heart Procedures
Ryan Moore, MD at Cincinnati Children’s is a leader in developing virtual reality methods to improve outcomes in complex pediatric heart procedures.
The platform is the first of its kind to be in utilized at a hospital and includes an artificial intelligence/machine learning tool to monitor perioperative outcomes and provide predictions about a patient’s trajectory. This tool will also allow the team to choose the optimal surgical approach for each individual patient when combining virtual reality surgical planning with artificial intelligence prediction algorithms.
