How Cancer Help Desk and Lenovo Bridge Patient Knowledge Gaps with XR and AI
- Cancer Help Desk is exploring how virtual reality technology can enhance outcomes for individuals dealing with cancer. With the innovative use of XR technology, the healthcare solution provides an immersive portal for patients to access personalised oncology information with innovative virtual AI chatbots. Through working with Lenovo and its ThinkReality portfolio, Cancer Help Desk aims to boost awareness of its mission by conducting a pilot study in which the solution is used by community healthcare workers. Cancer Help Desk is setting out to prove that immersive technology can change lives by helping to educate patients on conditions and treatments while also relieving pressure on healthcare professionals.
- Cancer Help Desk recently started working alongside Lenovo. XR’s journey in the sector is still in its infancy, and with immersive visualisations the Cancer Help Desk provides a deeper understanding for patients, such as explaining genomic sequencing testing and how it relates to newer oncology therapy options.
- Cancer Help Desk aims to expand its patient care mission by leveraging artificial intelligence alongside currently provided immersive visualisations, giving engaging and personalised information directly to patients.
- Many patients do not have direct access to specialised healthcare resources due to regional accessibility factors. Moreover, while patients may have access to these resources, they may not be able to fully engage with medical professionals due to factors such as language barriers. Immersive patient-facing solutions like the Cancer Help Desk provide immersive learning visualisations to explain cancer conditions and provide cancer-related resources for patients.
- While the patient-facing aspect and education is vital, another crucial element is how XR-enabled democratised healthcare education can assist medical professionals today. Using technology can bridge the gap in increased access to care; a crucial factor in successfully deploying accessible healthcare solutions and information.
- Cancer Help Desk has a team comprising of oncology nurses, PhD scientists, and a medical advisory board with deep experiences in drug delivery, drug development in pathology, molecular biology, and more, all merging an understanding of medicine and technology to support access to care.
- The amount of health information that digital healthcare solutions can consolidate is vast. However, XR and AI can help an individual see it in an understandable way, which can be very empowering.
- With outcomes and life-changing success stories emerging today, with thanks to pioneering leaders and emerging technology, access to healthcare may be set to reach new heights in the coming years.
- To transform patient care and delivery, the focus needs to be not only on addressing treatment but also on addressing person-centred care, turning to late caregivers and empowering them with empathic and sympathetic care delivery opportunities.
- Lenovo Health and the broader team help bring together technology in such a way that 'technology becomes transparent to the delivery of care,' ensuring that the vast amount of patient-facing information is delivered in a centralized manner through AI and XR avenues, creating a streamlined pipeline.
