Hospital da Luz demonstrated augmented reality guidance and remote virtual reality observation at its Learning Health training centre in Lisbon as part of Luz Saúde’s 5G partnership with NOS. The initial programme planned to use AR and VR applications to train hospital professionals and students.
In the AR demonstration, a doctor treating a simulated four-year-old child received instructions through HoloLens glasses from a specialist elsewhere. The child simulator reproduced breathing and responses for a scenario involving an unconscious, tachycardic patient with possible septic shock. Remote guidance helped the doctor identify where to act during the simulated intervention.
For the VR demonstration, a robot equipped with a 360-degree camera captured live images from the training centre and transmitted them to a remote student’s VR headset. This let the student observe the training environment immersively without being physically present.
