⭐ Solving clinical problems by thinking in three dimensions Inside the IHealthE lab at the UNSW Integrated Acute Services Building (IASB), the team is enhancing surgical planning with 3D printing technology. Working with Dr Catherine Banks and Dr Philip Black, the IHealthE team developed precise anatomical models of a skull and series of tracheas, to support surgical planning, improve patient and family education, and enhance patient care. Reflecting on this work, Dr Keng-Yin Lai, who led the design and production of these models, said “Solving clinical problems by thinking in three dimensions helps us bring innovative solutions to life.” These advancements are driven by bio-mimicking materials that replicate the texture and behavior of tissues and bones, enabling surgeons to plan and rehearse complex procedures with greater precision. They stand as a powerful example of how clinicians, engineers, and innovators can collaborate to push the boundaries of healthcare. 👇👇Read all about the process, people and results in this incredible interactive article - https://lnkd.in/gHGCcFK7 UNSW UNSW Graduate School of Biomedical Engineering Gabriel Graterol Nisi Sandy Wigley Randwick Health & Innovation Precinct UNSW Engineering UNSW Medicine & Health

This is a 3D-printed model of a child's skull, made by UNSW Tyree Foundation Institute of Health Engineering researchers and used by surgeons to help remove a life-threatening tumour. It's anatomically correct, colour-coded and allowed surgeons to not only plan the procedure in a new and safe way, but also explain to the child's parents what they were doing to keep them at ease.

🥊Imagine a stroke rehabilitation tool that’s both effective and fun- introducing Whack-a-Wombat, a VR game designed to help stroke patients regain motor function through engaging gameplay. Originally developed by Prof Juno Kim (UNSW) and led by Dr Peter Sturgess (Prince of Wales Hospital), this innovative game allows patients to use hand movements to punch wombats into space, all from the comfort of their bed. Simo Jurisic IHealthE's data visualisation expert collaborated on the VR design, ensuring ease of use. A feasibility study is about to begin, collecting valuable feedback from patients and families to fine-tune the experience and help address the staffing challenges in stroke rehabilitation. 🔗 Read more about the project and the people behind it: https://lnkd.in/d8H3ppJm #HealthTech #StrokeRehabilitation #VirtualReality #MedTech #Innovation #IHealthE #GameChanger UNSW Graduate School of Biomedical Engineering
