Augmented Reality Interface for Complex Anatomy Learning in the Central Nervous System: A Systematic Review

Abstract

The medical system is facing the transformations with augmentation in the use of medical information systems, electronic records, smart, wearable devices, and handheld. The central nervous system function is to control the activities of the mind and the human body. Modern speedy development in medical and computational growth in the field of the central nervous system enables practitioners and researchers to extract and visualize insight from these systems. The function of augmented reality is to incorporate virtual and real objects, interactively running in a real-time and real environment. The role of augmented reality in the central nervous system becomes a thought-provoking task. Gesture interaction approach-based augmented reality in the central nervous system has enormous impending for reducing the care cost, quality refining of care, and waste and error reducing. To make this process smooth, it would be effective to present a comprehensive study report of the available state-of-the-art-work for enabling doctors and practitioners to easily use it in the decision making process. This comprehensive study will finally summarise the outputs of the published materials associate to gesture interaction-based augmented reality approach in the central nervous system. This research uses the protocol of systematic literature which systematically collects, analyses, and derives facts from the collected papers. The data collected range from the published materials for 10 years. 78 papers were selected and included papers based on the predefined inclusion, exclusion, and quality criteria. The study supports to identify the studies related to augmented reality in the nervous system, application of augmented reality in the nervous system, technique of augmented reality in the nervous system, and the gesture interaction approaches in the nervous system. The derivations from the studies show that there is certain amount of rise-up in yearly wise articles, and numerous studies exist, related to augmented reality and gestures interaction approaches to different systems of the human body, specifically to the nervous system. This research organises and summarises the existing associated work, which is in the form of published materials, and are related to augmented reality. This research will help the practitioners and researchers to sight most of the existing studies subjected to augmented reality-based gestures interaction approaches for the nervous system and then can eventually be followed as support in future for complex anatomy learning.

Digitale Innovation in der Medizin – die COVID-19-Pandemie als Akzelerator von „digital health“

“…Durch die Nutzung von mHealth entstehen extrem große Datensätze, die beispielsweise aus elektronischen Gesundheitsakten, medizinischen Bildern und anderen komplizierten Texten bestehen, welche nur schlecht interpretiert werden können bzw. bei welchen die Analyse durch den Menschen sehr viel Zeit in Anspruch nimmt [ 18 ]. Daher wird die Entwicklung der mobilen Gesundheitsangebote als Treiber für den Aufbau intelligenter Gesundheitssysteme betrachtet.…”

“…Damit würde ein digitaler Experte entstehen, welcher beispielsweise Pathologieergebnisse automatisiert in einen Bericht umwandelt [ 15 ]. Die künstliche Intelligenz besitzt weiterhin die Fähigkeit, automatisch zu lernen, sich zu verbessern, ohne explizit dafür programmiert zu werden, also maschinell zu lernen [ 18 ]. Durch die Nutzung von Algorithmen kann ein solches Computersystem in kurzer Zeit weitaus mehr Informationen und auch Erfahrungen abrufen, als es für einen Menschen möglich ist [ 19 ].…”

“…AI in der Medizin kann zu einer besseren Patientenversorgung führen, frühere Diagnosen stellen, klinische Arbeitsabläufe beschleunigen, und hierbei durch die Reduktion der Fehlerzahl Kosten einsparen [ 19 ]. Die Nutzung von AI und die Analyse von Big Data sind neben den Entwicklungen der mHealth die wichtigsten Meilensteine im Aufbau eines intelligenten Gesundheitssystems [ 18 ].…”

Evaluation of an Augmented Reality Application for Learning Neuroanatomy in Psychology

“…A literature review conducted from an engineering approach was centered on considering AR applications developed with contents of the nervous system and based on gesture interaction (Wirza et al, 2020). The review showed that the use of AR technology for the visualization of the nervous system increased over the last three years.…”

AIoT-Based Smart Bin for Real-Time Monitoring and Management of Solid Waste

“…IoT promotes various application areas, such as smart health, [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] smart city, [14,15], environment monitoring [16,17] smart home, [18,19], traffic management [20][21][22][23][24], smart education system, [25], smart farming, [26,27], and many others [28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35]. In smart cities, various problems occur when devices communicate with each other; one of the important problems is waste management.…”
