Augmented reality technologies and the GDPR and the safety of medical staff during the COVID-19 pandemic - qLIFE PRA
Augmented reality technologies offer solutions to protect medical data and ensure the safety of medical staff during the COVID-19 pandemic. The team of dr. Klaudia Proniewska has designed the HoloView application in augmented reality technology, which allows to display medical data in accordance with the requirements of the GDPR.
The HoloView application, which is tailored to run on the Microsoft HoloLens augmented reality goggles, has the ability to display and provide access to medical data and sensitive information of all the patients without the risk of being presented to unauthorized persons.
Moreover, the application offers users a wide range of preview modes and screens so that the person who uses the application could feel comfortable and was able to display only key information at a given moment. The biggest advantage is that all the information is only visible to authorized users. The device is protected by a built-in sensor which ensures that the goggles are removed from the user's head – this automatically blocks access to the application. The proposed approach thus contributes to the protection of the patient's personal data and sensitive information.
Another critical issue is related to the global health security, which depends on having an adequately prepared and healthy medical staff necessary to ensure health security during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. One of the actions which supports the reduction of the development of the pandemic is limiting direct contacts. Such activities can be supported, inter alia, by virtualizing meetings using the HoloView application and conducting the so-called holo-consultations (remote medical consultations - medical case conferences using augmented reality technology). Two or more authorized users, while being in different locations, can view the same medical data at the same time. The proposed solution protects users against virus infection by ensuring a safe distance. The future remains unknown, but the pandemic could be a permanent change in medicine using immersion technologies such as augmented reality.
