Virtual Reality in Dialysis | Your Kidneys Your Health | @qasimbuttmd

☕ Talking Kidneys over Coffee (Part 2)
Can #virtualreality be used on #dialysis patients to improve outcomes?
In the continuation of our Seinfeld episode 😉, Tim Fitzpatrick CEO of IKONA Health discusses this technology in New York City.
Many people in #kidney care are probably wondering how this could even be applicable to our patient population. Here Tim goes over....
🔹 Differences between VR (virtual reality) and AR (augmented reality)
🔹 Which one could be better for a patient
🔹 Training in home dialysis, including self cannulation
🔹 Assisting in ordering supplies to the home
🔹 Reducing stress and increasing mindfulness
🔹 Pitfalls including possible disorientation
Man that french toast 🍞 got real cold during this long conversation.
