HoloVAD; A feasibility study of a new patient education tool for patients with a left ventricular assist device

An LVAD is life-changing with high complication risks. HoloVAD is innovative because it integrates visualization and interaction through mixed reality, enabling a deeper understanding of life with an LVAD. This study highlights the feasibility of HoloVAD as a novel educational tool for patients and their loved ones.

Abstract

An LVAD is life-changing with high complication risks. HoloVAD is innovative because it integrates visualization and interaction through mixed reality, enabling a deeper understanding of life with an LVAD. This study highlights the feasibility of HoloVAD as a novel educational tool for patients and their loved ones.
