Be AnywhereCommunication Problems in Hospitals

Abstract

This paper will explore several issues or problems that I have reconi!e" when attemptin tocommunicate with in"ivi"uals who are un"er hospitali!e" care an" have trouble communicatin "ue tovarious reasons# This paper i"enti$ies speci$ic problems an" elaborates on their cause an" bein topropose a vali" solution that now is available with current technoloy amon virtual reality an" %%&systems#

Introduction

Communication is vital to our "aily li$e# It is critical while we are bein treate" $or illness while beinhospitali!e"# Bein able to express pain is a crucial expression $or "octors to help "ianose an illness#There are many people who have "isabilities that can 'eep them $rom communicatin this in$ormation#It is possible to un"ero new symptoms while visitin a hospital that coul" 'eep you $romcommunicatin an" away $rom $amily# However( Technoloy in present "ay is more a"vance" then wewoul" thin'( we can breach those communication barriers o$ people insi"e coma)s or unable to tal'#

Objectives

*ur objective we want to sprea" the concept o$ +be anywhere,( we want to ta'e people to newplaces virtually an" aroun" the worl"# People shoul" not be limite" technoloy can ta'e us any where(an" we want you be any where you want without "aily limitation# -econ"ly( we want to open upcommunications with those you naturally are unable to communicate# %veryone shoul" be able toexpressCommunication Problems

There are a lot people who have trouble communicatin "ue too "isabilities# Patients coul" also$all none responsive "urin a operations# As well patient symptoms coul" cause them $rom visitin$amily an" missin opportunities they coul" have atten"e" normally# Hospitals are the place were a loto$ misse" opportunities occur "ue to bein be" reste"# I remember when a $amily member was sic' $ortwo wee's# The wee' be$ore he was so excite" to be oin to a concert he was lonin to atten"#However( his visit to the hospital 'ept him $rom atten"in the concert# His miss opportunities o$ the joyhappens to more people then just him#

Solutions

I purpose a +Be anywhere, solution throuh the use o$ virtual reality an" technoloy "evelope"by Tan Le# I rec'on .aceboo' has alrea"y thouh about these concepts an" miht be the sole reasonthey bouht *culus $or two billion "ollars# &ivin the ability to use virtual reality by means o$ a"vancecameras or virtual environments we can ta'e people anywhere they want to o# /e coul" set upcamera)s at the concert my $amily member misse" an" usin the oculus hea"set( it woul" $eel as i$ hewas there himsel$# Hospitals woul" no loner be a trap but a luxury cruise to any where you want to oiven this technoloy#

/e coul" even bein to communicate with people that have $allen into a coma# Tan Letechnoloy wol" breach the non response ap between communication o$ people in such a state# %%&hea"sets are able to reconi!e thouht patterns which can eventually enerate a line o$ communicationbase" on thouht alone# As well as place the in"ivi"uals who have $allen into a coma into a virtual

reality that coul" ive the a new sense o$ presence while un"eroin tests# This woul" allow patients toain a since a strenth an" line o$ communication to others virtually even thouh they can notphysically#

Resources

&iven the technoloies mention in this proposal( availability to a *culus hea"set or other

means o$ 01 ren"in eye wear is vital# Also the purchase o$ %motiv)s %%& hea"set or some similarprorammable "evice# This will be use" in conjunction with each other to simulate a virtual immersionsomewhere in the real worl" or in a virtual environment#

Video Talks

I have been a hue supporter o$ Tan Le an" technoloy that she has helpe" "evelope"# -hecreate" a hue leap into un"erstan"in the brain an" how it wor's# It or"er to $irst un"erstan"somethin we nee" to monitor the patterns so that we can bein to un"erstan" how it wor's# Tan Lean" her team have alrea"y "one it# They "evelope" a hea"set the can monitor brain activity an" havebecome usin that activity to control technoloy# Her wor' has been to help un"erstan" an" bein to$in" cures $or brain "rivin illnesses # However( this technoloy can open up so many more "oors#

Articles

-ince Palmer Luc'y has release" the *culus ri$t( virtual reality has been iven a lot o$ $uel an"is expecte" to explo"e" over the next "eca"e# It was recently bouht out by the social me"ia iant(.aceboo'( which is oin to ta'e virtual reality an" run with it# The *culus will ta'e communication tothe next level which mean were oin "iitally#

Method/SchedulesAs these technoloies were built by in"epen"ent companies( this proposal)s time line is

currently estimate" to ta'e aroun" 23 months# This time allows us to buil" so$tware aroun" these twoin"epen"ent technoloies so they can be uni$ie" as input4outputs un"er one so$tware# -che"ule will bebro'en into three phases5 re6uirement atherin( "evelopment( testin#

Requirements Gathering5 This phase will consist o$ a estimate" 0 to 7 months to un"erstan" thecapabilities that the technoloies have in"epen"ently# -o that we can assets any an" all availableenhancement that can be ather when so$tware allows us to use both technoloies simultaneously#

1evelopment5 This phase will involve uni$yin the two technoloies un"er one so$tware so thatthey can be use" jointly to enhance the experience o$ the user( estimate" to 83 to 82 months#

Testin5 The last phase is to test $or accuracy in the two technoloies with the new so$tware an"to $in" an" correct any errors with both har"ware an" so$tware components( will ta'e 0 till 7 months#

Qualiications*ur team is currently certi$ie" to "evelop on both technoloies in"epen"ently have been

reconi!e" as innovators by both companies in 2387# This project ives us the opportunities to embracethe best o$ both $or which we are so passionate# -o $ar we have complete" 7 similar major in"epen"entprojects involvin a"vance" so$tware technoloies#

Mana!ement

*ur team is a very "iverse roup o$ lea"ers who ta'e on societies challenes to improve "ailylives# /e consist o$ team o$ 9 Project :anaer( $our junior so$tware enineers( two senior "evelopersan" two computer enineers# *ur team ma'e up allows us to ma'e $ace any so$tware or electricalchallenes that we may $ace "urin the project#

CostsAs current mar'et sits this project will cost aroun" 2333 in e6uipment as we can simply our

own laboratory which will help cut costs "rastically# %6uipment woul" covert 2 sets o$ 01 ren"erineye wear an" 2 sets o$ %motiv %%& hea"sets# The project cost is estimate" to cost 8 million $or the 23month lon project#

ConclusionCommunication has a very excitin $uture( we really have no i"ea what the possibilities areuntil we breach them# As innovators continue to push technoloy( virtual reality in conjunction with abetter un"erstan"in o$ the brain coul" lea" to the :atrix# The +be anywhere, solution is solely limite"to the hospitals( that was simply an example( people can travel virtually $rom anywhere#
