Vulcan
Vulcan is an augmented reality software application suite designed by long-time NASA developers that enables healthcare providers to train personnel via teleguidance and guided procedural steps. With Vulcan, an organization can train more workers with fewer resources and greatly reduced travel costs.
Vulcan Connect™
Vulcan Connect™ provides trainers with the power of teleguidance, a remote AR instructional conversation between trainer and trainee. Vulcan Connect™ frees up the hands of less-experienced doctors, nurses, paramedics, and other medical personnel to be fully hands-on during a teleguided procedure, and simultaneously eliminates travel time and costs.
AR headset operators – the trainees – share their first-person view with expert medical professionals from anywhere around the world. Remote experts – the trainers – join their secure, HIPAA-compliant call room from work or from home to synchronously provide real-time guidance and live patient analysis.
Vulcan Connect™ pairs with ultrasound devices to offer live AR imaging in Vulcan Live-Display™ (the porting of live device images into a Vulcan Connect™ call). Novice and professional sonographers alike utilize Live-Display™ to analyze sonogram footage in real-time.
Vulcan sonographers view and manipulate the sonogram in their augmented reality space, rather than relying on cumbersome analog screens. Paired with wired or wireless ultrasound probes, Vulcan empowers professionals and inexperienced persons with mobile sonogram capabilities. Through Vulcan Connect™, medical experts can remotely guide operators while simultaneously viewing the ultrasound image from their computers or any smart handheld device.
Vulcan Scan Assist™ - autonomous training
Vulcan Scan Assist™ is a machine-guided medical procedure created with an expert trainer’s input. Vulcan Scan Assist™ combines the AR sonogram capabilities of Live-Display™ with a procedure that may be used for training all of an organization’s trainees.
In the example to the right, a training procedure has been created for teaching a novice trainee how to perform a carotid sonogram.
Vulcan Scan Assist™ offers the benefits of
- repeatability (can repeat any number of times)
- availability (can run it any time)
- flexibility (create any type of procedure)
Reduction of cost and reduction of human error. Vulcan provides scalable opportunities for both.
Pro-G™ - training authored by you
Pro-G™, the backbone of Vulcan Scan Assist™, is our custom-built procedure authoring and execution program. Pro-G™ provides everyday healthcare workers with the ability to create procedures that are executable within an AR headset. Within a day, you can learn to create your procedures in your style and execute them.
In addition to procedure creation/execution, the Pro-G™ platform enables
- task assignment
- accountability – timestamped step and task completion with supervisor approval
- procedure records and report generation
- live procedure monitoring
- procedure importation/exportation
Pro-G™ is fully integrated with Vulcan, enabling HIPAA-compliant device data storage through Galen Data.
Vulcan AI - the future is now
Vulcan AI is a patented medical guidance system that provides real-time, 3D augmented reality feedback guidance to users of medical equipment, irrespective of prior medical training, in order to achieve improved diagnostic or treatment outcomes.
Vulcan AI guides users through highly specific tasks that are technique-sensitive, including many medical procedures or the operation of other equipment requiring a high degree of training for proficiency. Vulcan AI utilizes live machine learning feedback for increased procedural accuracy and reduction of human error.
