FirstSparks vs INSIGHT KIDNEY Enterprise

This application is for medical practitioners wishing to help witnesses of epileptic seizures identify the type of seizure, or to show patients the types of seizure that they are experiencing. Identification of a seizure type is often a problem in medical practice since witnesses may only see part of the seizure, may never have seen a seizure before, be anxious or emotional at the time of the seizure or lack the vocabulary needed to accurately describe what they have seen. Using realistic (but simulated) videos can overcome these problems. This application provides very high quality animated videos of 8 common types of seizure including absence, atonic, tonic clonic and tonic seizures (and some rarer ones). Using videos overcomes the problems inherent in using videos of real people having these seizures, but also allows exquisite detail of facial features, and composites of typical seizure features. It is aimed at general, paediatric, neurological and nursing practitioners who see patients with possible seizures and their witnesses. They can give the application to the witness and let them look through the types of seizures to see which looks like the seizure they witnessed. Once the seizure type is identified, there are helpful medical notes including what questions might help confirm the seizure type and what to expect if they need more expert evaluation. It can also be used by teachers who educate others in types of epilepsy and its' management. It was developed by A/Prof Wendyl D'Souza of the University of Melbourne using research funds (the videos were very expensive due to their very high quality). He has a research web site at www.sparks.org.au. Coding was by CereScape (www.cerescape.com).

This version of INSIGHT KIDNEY for Enterprise REQUIRES an Enterprise License. There is another version of INSIGHT KIDNEY for non-enterprise users. INSIGHT KIDNEY for Enterprise, developed and owned by ANIMA RES, is delivered by the Gig Immersive Learning Platform and is intended to be used as a managed app with the Gig Immersive Learning Platform. Only registered users in the Gig Immersive Learning Platform are allowed to access the mobile app. INSIGHT KIDNEY - The human kidney expedition This is the third Augmented Reality App to be rolled out in a series of Apps created and designed for medical education purposes. Our goal is to make medical education fascinating, explorable, and fun for students, physicians as well as accessible to patients - anywhere and anytime, in or out of the classroom, lecture hall or living room. We have committed ourselves to take medical education one step further and have developed visually stunning and highly interactive content based on real life medical and scientific specifications. INSIGHT KIDNEY for Enterprise, developed and owned by ANIMA RES, is delivered by the Gig Immersive Learning Platform and allows multiple users at your institution to share a session to see the same holograms at the same time – even if you are in disparate locations – for teaching and training purposes. Embark on a journey through the kidney, from macroscopic to microscopic anatomy, and explore the structures of the kidney in unprecedented detail. INSIGHT KIDNEY has visualized pathological changes in addition to anatomically correct representations. Trigger impressive visualizations of the healthy kidney, CKD, aHUS, IgAN and C3G and get an idea of their condition and severity. Due to their rarity, there is a tremendous need for tangible information about these rare kidney diseases. Here, for the first time, Insight Kidney attempts to visualize these rare kidney diseases with anatomically correct 3D representations to fill the knowledge gap for patients. And there is a lot more to come (INSIGHT LUNG, INSIGHT HEART, INSIGHT BONE, INSIGHT EKG) - so stay tuned! This and the other following apps in the INSIGHT-series will take medical education to a whole new level - no one has ever seen the human kidney in this way before.
