Press releases may be edited for formatting or style | February 28, 2018 Endoscopy

HealthVoyager™ consists of three components: the healthcare provider (HCP) frontend application, the patient mobile application, and an intermediary web service that ties the two together. The platform is compliant with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and is being developed to be accessible from within a hospital's electronic medical record (EMR) systems to protect the privacy and security of patient health information and ensure clinical adoption and sustainability. It runs on iOS; Android compatibility will be available on future versions.

Virtual Reality: On the frontier of healthcare
Yan Fossat, VP of Klick Labs at Klick Health and lead on this first of its kind project said the healthcare industry is on the frontier of new opportunities through VR. "Hospitals have started using VR in healthcare, most notably, to distract hospital patients as part of pain management. That's important but it's only scratching the surface of what's possible in patient care. Customizable patient education experiences like HealthVoyager™ have the potential to directly impact the course of a patient's illness in a major way."

How HealthVoyager™ GI Works:

At the Physician Level

1. The physician inputs the clinical findings of a patient's endoscopy and/or colonoscopy onto a proprietary web interface that customize the upper and lower GI tract digital illustrations on the platform. Using drag-and-drop functionality, the physician can accurately place polyps, ulcers, bleeding, and other conditions precisely where they are found during the actual procedure(s).

2. The physician clicks to generate the patient report and bring the clinical findings to life in a customized 3D anatomical virtual reality experience.

3. The tool automatically generates a PDF report with unique patient QR code to share with the patient and family.

At the Patient Level

4. The patient/family scans the custom QR code using their mobile phone to access their personalized HealthVoyager™ experience.

5. The patient creates their personalized avatar on the app.

Using VR clip-on glasses, Google Cardboard, or another VR headset, the patient clicks to start their own customized VR tour inside their GI digestive tract, traveling through their upper and lower GI regions in 3D to see an accurate representation of what their doctor(s) saw during their procedure(s). For added context, they can also compare their unique findings of their GI tract with a tour of an unaffected patient's procedure.
