Biomedicine – : Medical Simulation at the Beginning of the

Ever visited Second Life? In this parallel world we humans are represented by avatars, creatures we create to represent us in this alternative life. We characterize our avatars. What does this say about us in the real world?

The picture depicted below is a university lecture hall in Second Life. If you are a Second Lifer you could be in this room studying medicine, or physics, or literature. You could converse with the student next to you, or listen to the lecture. Second Life lets you interact at many levels and that interaction is being used by researchers to better understand both the virtual and real us and how they relate.

Second Life provides a virtual simulation environment that can be used for education, healthcare, business and adventure.

Researchers are looking at how avatars can influence real behaviour in positive ways. One study in The Journal of Virtual Worlds Research appeared in an article published in 2009 which described a study looking at the relationship between life styles in the virtual and real world. The study uses an interviewing process conducted between an avatar interviewer and an avatar respondent to look at obesity, body mass and self perception. A number of hypotheses were proposed including:

That individuals with avatars who were physically active in Second Life were more likely to be physically active in real life.
That individuals who represented themselves through thin avatars were more likely to be thin in real life.
That when interviewed by a heavy avatar individuals in Second life were more likely to admit to being heavier than when interviewed by a thin avatar.

The study, although not complete, concludes that virtual reality provides healthcare professionals with unique opportunities to tackle sensitive issues like obesity, body image and physical fitness with the potential to influence real-world behaviors.

But virtual reality is proving to be more than just an opportunity to study human behaviour. Medical professionals see in the virtual world a place where they can become more knowledgeable and hone their craft as surgeons, technicians, and nurses. Simulating the real world has enormous benefits and the virtual world is a great place to work through medical problems and solve them.

Medical Simulation is More Than Virtual Reality

It can be the creation of a virtual world with avatars acting out the roles of humans, but it can also be smart mannequins with properties suitable for healthcare workers to use for training. Simulation can also be detailed representations of anatomy and physiology recreated on a computer screen and rendered in 3D for studying and practice.

Smart Mannequins

Working on medical dummies or mannequins has been around a long time. If you have ever taken a CPR course you have probably experienced some interaction with a mannequin. Today’s smart mannequins are sophisticated computer-aided simulators that can interact with medical students, display symptoms of patients with a variety of medical conditions, and even communicate where it hurts.

There are a number of companies building these smart learning tools. CAE, a Canadian company based in Montreal, produces flight training simulators and now medical ones as well. Caesar ™ is a mannequin that displays a wide range of physiological responses to traumatic injuries. Medical trainees can treat Caesar as if it were a real patient listening to heart and lung sounds, administering medications, waiting for appropriate responses and listening as the mannequin provides feedback. CAE has other robotic mannequin simulators. iStan (R) v2 is described as a fully articulated, tetherless patient simulator that comes with patient monitoring software. And METIman is a simulator for nursing or pre-hospital training. There are pediatric and emergency METI simulators.

CAE is involved in developing more than just smart mannequins. The company marries mannequins and software together to create other simulation technology. One of these is Vimedix, which CAE describes as the first transthoracic echocardiography simulator. CAE is adding more of these types of simulators including ones that allow surgeons to practice procedures such as endoscopies, laparoscopies, upper and cardiac valve replacements. The simulators employ haptics creating tactile feedback on instrumentation used during the simulated procedures.

Virtual Reality and Gaming

The marriage of medicine and computing has produced opportunities for gathering vasts amount of knowledge about patients, diseases, treatments, surgical procedures, and then using the collected data to build what is essentially gaming simulations for education and research.

Creating simulated realities gives physicians, nurses, technicians and other medical practitioners the ability to do procedures and try techniques without fear of hurting or losing a patient. The technologies use 3D modeling and 3D vision creating environments that are indistinguishable from actual medical procedures.

A number of companies have developed these virtual computing environments. The applications resemble those found in the popular gaming world and one in particular is very much like Second Life.

Pulse!!

This is a Second Life-styled learning platform designed as a virtual hospital. The game was developed By Breakaway Ltd., a company in Hunt Valley, Maryland. Pulse!! has been piloted at Texas A&M University. Learners enter a three-dimensional virtual hospital and deal with patients in many ways. Whether you are an admitting clerk, an ER physician, nurse, phlebotomist or other healthcare worker, there is an opportunity for you to create an avatar and participate in the online community.

Pulse!! includes a full range of medical devices and operational capability to make the learning environment “virtually” real. Making mistakes on a Pulse!! patient leads to a “virtual” death. The performance of all participants is continuously monitored. The goal, reduced real-world medical errors.

Pulse!! is a product of Breakaway Ltd., a maker of a number of medical virtual reality tools.

Breakaway has also developed a dental implant training simulator for the Medical College of Georgia, and a Pediatric Pain Management 3D virtual reality game called Free Dive which invites players to swim with sea turtles and tropical fish while hunting for treasure. Free Dive is designed to engage children undergoing painful medical procedures to distract them.

InViVo

InViVo Communications Inc., is a Toronto, Ontario based company, that designs 3D interactive medical gaming applications. The company has created products for healthcare workers to learn about stem cells, drug-to-cell interactions, dosing strategies in dealing with highly resistant bacteria, and others. InViVo applications are designed as computer games to help learners master a topic or skill.

BioDigital

Surgery always relied on three premises in the learning process. Watch, do and then teach. But surgery has gotten more complicated as more and more technology is applied to patient interventions. That is why simulation works very well in helping surgeons master procedures leading to startlingly better outcomes for patients.
BioDigital is a developer of 3D animation games that teach, assess and quiz surgical wannabes while having them practice procedures in a virtual environment. The diagram below comes from one of BioDigital’s simulations.

BioDigital simulation provides a 3D, dynamic and interactive platform for practicing surgical procedures.

Medical simulators and virtual reality are in their infancy today. As the 21st century continues to unfold holographic imaging should allow physicians to immerse themselves in the simulation. But we will come back to that later when we look at the mid-21st century and beyond.

3D Animation helps a lot in understanding complex medical procedures through animation videos. The benefits of well-produced medical animation have been proven effective, and bring a unique benefit to medical marketing and training efforts.
Cutting-edge 3D modeling and animation offers several advantages. These presentations can graphically simplify complicated concepts and convey complex inter-relationships, which are difficult to visualize. Concepts and ideas, which cannot easily be represented in words or even through illustrations, can be easily created and viewed from different angles.
Animation can combine vast amounts of scientific data into a compact package, which can then be presented simplistically. Animation captures attention, and the information which is presented as a moving image is retained by the viewer for a longer time and with greater accuracy.
Animation can re-create an event, which is too expensive or too dangerous to reproduce, eg. an aircraft accident. Scenes which have been altered or which no longer exist, eg. demolished buildings or colonies to be constructed can be easily re-created through animation.
Virtual light sources from different angles are used with reflections, transparencies and shadows to optimize the photo-realistic effect.
On-line, Animation video immediately engages website visitors in a way that simple text and static graphics cannot. Powerful, streaming, video enables you to create motion graphic content to personally introduce your services and products directly to prospective clients. Web video with computer animation boost your professional credibility to high profile markets, demonstrating clearly your value proposition. This clearly separates you from your competitors and with added impact. Web video is the most effective way to communicate and generate new business 24/7.

Why choose Medical Animation?
Speed
3D Animation explains more in less time. Video presentations and illustrations are simply unable to deliver the dynamic function and freedom of 3D animation. Any structure can be cut in half or made transparent, allowing audiences to see through anything and focus purely on the the most important aspects of the presentation.
1 minute of 3D animation can deliver as much information as 1800 2D illustrations, 3000 pages of written text, 1 hour of spoken lecture and 10 minutes of surgical video.
Value
Depending on the complexity and content, computer generated 3D animation may cost little more than many other forms of media content. In some cases, it can be significantly more affordable. When compared to high-end traditional live-action production—which requires actors, sets, and production crews for everything from lighting to makeup—animation is unbeatable. Because computers do the bulk of the work and can be produced %100 in-studio, the entire budget makes it to the screen instead of being wasted on overpriced union talent, transportation, insurance, or location fees.
Comprehensive and Effective
Nothing explains complex surgery, anatomy, or medicine as well as 3D animation. A study performed in 2005 found that medical students who viewed 3D Animation teaching methods outperformed a control group (who viewed only surgical videos) not only in topographical understanding but also in theoretical understanding.
Indian pharmaceutical companies are increasingly looking to produce drugs for the global market. Historically, large Indian pharmaceutical companies have produced generics (drugs that are off-patent) where margins are lower and the requirement for cutting edge marketing is less also. “Every doctor knows what a Lipitor or Neksium is, so there’s no need for an MOA (mechanism of action) video” says Dr Manissha Sharma, Director, Doctors Hub polyclinic, Gurgaon, “but for new procedures and drugs, they really help.”
Increasingly, the focus is on Drugs that are for global consumption and are less-generic. One such area is biosimilars, also known as biologics. Biosimilars are drugs which are produced or recombined from living organisms. It’s an exciting new area with the global biosimilar market projected at $10billion dollars in 2015, of which the Indian market would be about $300m (source: business standard).
Founded in 2004 by veteran Indian-American entrepreneurs Girish Khera and Ashish Khera, Scientific Animations is a full-service medical animation and integrated e-learning solutions company with a unique value proposition.
Scientific Animations has announced a new team to service the needs of the Indian market. Currently, the Indian pharmaceutical market is over $20 billion and growing at more than 15% per year. “US pharmaceutical companies spend over 25% of revenue on marketing. However, in India, they estimate this is less than 10%, and with only 1% of this on graphics and animation, the market was never attractive for them,” says Girish Khera, MD, “but now we see that for drugs that are globally oriented, and non-generic, such as biosimilars, the level of spend on marketing as well as on high quality 3D animation is rising.”
Medical animation gaining importance'Anjali Prayag
Bangalore , Oct. 13
ANIMATION outsourcing is becoming a serious business in the country. The global non-entertainment animation industry, including work in scientific and medical animation, now accounts for revenues worth $15 billion. While India's share in this sector is yet to be estimated, industry observers say that medical animation is slowly gaining importance.
According to Mr R. Govardhan, Vice-President — Content Development and Training — Toonskool Advanced Animation Academy, a Bangalore-based animation training studio, the demand for animators and trainers in this area is growing. There are three types of outsourcing opportunities for India: 3D medical animation, 2D medical animation (to explain anatomy, treatment processes, physiology and other health-related areas) and medical illustrations (depiction of information useful in documentation).
Mr Govardhan says that people with paramedical background have been employed in the field. "Doctors, health workers, PhDs in microbiology have become trainers in the area." In fact, Toonskool has trained two batches of students who are ready to take on medical animation work. Typically, pharma companies, medical equipment manufacturers, apart from universities, research scientists and hospitals, outsource medical animation work to India.
In fact, the need for medical graphics whether in the form of animations or illustrations, is no longer restricted to education in the scientific sector. Teaching students as well as patients, legal issues, research agencies, journals, television programmes and museums require medical animation and illustrations.
According to Nasscom, the global animation market will generate revenue worth $50-70 billion by this year-end, with India's share reaching $1.5 billion thus requiring 30,000 animators.

How We Produce 3d Medical AnimationCreating a 2-minute, 3d medical animation follows the same general process as that of a feature film, only…much faster. The process is largely the same, but the challenges relating to an animation are unique. First, a script is developed and finalized. Then the script is drawn and laid-out in scenes, called a storyboard. Actors (played by 3D models) are cast in their roles. Make-up (provided as 3D texture) and lights are set for each scene. Cameras are readied to capture the angles and movements the actors have to do. Then, it’s roll camera to see the animation. Cut, print (meaning hours of computer rendering), check the raw footage and go back and make the actors do it again till they get it right. Once it’s done, add special effects, composite the film and call your colleagues to the premier.
So, What’s Different?Though the process is largely similar to film making, two unique challenges to 3d animations are battled with constantly. In a film, you can’t see the post-edited look that you would normally see …well …post-edit. As a result, the director has to envision the final result and get as close to it as possible when the picture is “in the can”. 3D animations with computer graphics, this is not the case. As a result, the actors can re-shoot the scene with new makeup, lighting, or camera angles at any time. This is a devil’s bargain as it helps the quality of the 3d animation but can actually hurt budgets and timelines. What makes it worse is a temptation to actually change the script and re-shoot the whole film. Therefore, a greater discipline is required to get the script right on the first try. The other challenge is speed. 3d animation is to feature films what speed dating is to dinner and a movie. Often, you only get one shot at something; and you need to capitalize if you don’t want to capitulate.
