Description
In this talk, we show how facial expressions and heart rate can be used as an input. We discuss how they allow us to personalise user experience and how combined with VR, they can help tackle health issues such as facial palsy, but also autism or mental health.
Emteq has a unique approach to help people with Facial Palsy, with tailored therapy for home and clinics. We integrated an array of sensors in all-in-one VR headsets. EMG sensors give real-time feedback about muscle activity, showing patients movements that are invisible in a mirror. PPG sensors give additional feedback on relaxation level. Using an iterative user-centred design approach, we developed a VR application for facial rehabilitation.

Description
The oncoming wave of Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality technology will impact medicine, clinical care, and personal health and wellness.
Although entertainment, social connection, and gaming will drive the initial adoption of VR and AR technology, the deepest and most significant impact of the next generation of VR/AR technology will be to enhance clinical care and to improve personal health and wellness.
VR and AR technology will also help facilitate the shift of medicine to direct personal care and facilitate precision medicine approaches.
We know from decades of clinical research that VR/AR technology can provide breakthrough solutions that address the most difficult problems in healthcare – ranging from mood disorders such as Anxiety and Depression to PTSD, Addictions, Autism, Cognitive Aging, Stroke Recovery, and Physical Rehabilitation, to name just a few.
VR technology can also improve clinical measurements and assessments by making them more objective and functional, and improve medical training such as surgical skill training and procedure planning by applying simulation-based learning principals.
Personal health and wellness will be improved by using VR to promote healthy lifestyles and to reduce stress and anxiety.
As the cost of healthcare rises, VR and AR technology can serve as an effective telemedicine platform to reduce costs of care delivery, and improve clinical efficiency.
