Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality (AR/VR) for Ultrasound-guided Medical Procedures
The Use of Augmented Reality (AR) or Virtual Reality (VR) to Enhance the Precision and Accuracy of Ultrasound-guided Medical Procedures
Stanford University
100 participants
Sep 30, 2025
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The study seeks to assess the efficacy of incorporating augmented reality (AR) or virtual reality (VR) technology into ultrasound-guided medical procedures such as regional anesthesia and line placement. By utilizing AR/VR devices, the investigators will improve the ergonomics when using ultrasound to guide procedures. The aims are to enhance visualization of anatomical structures and improve procedural accuracy for clinicians. The study aims to evaluate the feasibility, and effectiveness of integrating AR/VR technology into ultrasound-guided procedures, with the ultimate goal of improving patient outcomes.
Eligibility
