3D Printing - Transforming Healthcare, Episode 3, Part 1
3D printing is a process of making solid, three-dimensional objects from a digital file by laying down thin layers of materials and fusing those layers together.
Host summaryThe host summarizing a resource — not the host's own clinical position0:00 ↗
The first step for 3D printing is to create a 3D digital model, which can be created using a variety of 3D software or scanned with a 3D scanner.
Host summaryThe host summarizing a resource — not the host's own clinical position0:00 ↗
3D printers can use materials including plastics, metals, ceramics, and biologic materials.
Host summaryThe host summarizing a resource — not the host's own clinical position0:00 ↗
3D printing uses an additive process, creating objects by laying down successive layers of material, which is the opposite of subtractive manufacturing that cuts or hollows out material.
Host summaryThe host summarizing a resource — not the host's own clinical position0:00 ↗
Prototyping is the largest application of 3D printing today, even though it has matured into an excellent solution for many kinds of production parts.
Host summaryThe host summarizing a resource — not the host's own clinical position0:00 ↗
3D printing has been used in industries including aerospace, automotive, architecture, jewelry, art, design, fashion, and the medical field.

Digital Twinning - Transforming Healthcare, Episode 2, Part 1
A digital twin is a virtual representation that serves as the real-time digital counterpart of a physical object or process.
clinicalTodd Ponsky0:00 ↗
The first practical definition of a digital twin originated from NASA in an attempt to improve physical model simulation of a spacecraft in 2010.
clinicalTodd Ponsky0:00 ↗
Digital twinning involves multiple processes: visual modeling using software to replicate an object's appearance, and feeding the system with data about that object.
clinicalTodd Ponsky0:00 ↗
Digital twin technology uses machine learning and AI.
clinicalTodd Ponsky0:00 ↗
A digital twin can be trained to behave like a real-world counterpart, with the ability to remove errors and control behavior.
clinicalTodd Ponsky0:00 ↗
Digital twins are upgradable and extendable in ways that overcome physical limitations of the real world.
clinicalTodd Ponsky0:00 ↗
Companies can test and validate a product using digital twins before it exists in the real world.
clinicalTodd Ponsky0:00 ↗
If a patient model is provided with data and trained with parameters that exactly match the real world, it will give similar results.
clinicalTodd Ponsky0:00 ↗
There will be a transition towards cheaper, more accessible, and easier to use digital twins, culminating in its democratization.

What is Metaverse? - Transforming Healthcare, Episode 1
The lab at Cincinnati Children's Hospital has been meeting in the surgical Metaverse
clinical0:00 ↗
Meeting in a metaverse workroom feels better than watching each other on a 2D Zoom meeting because you actually feel like you're in the room together
opinion0:20 ↗
Metaverse is a space, similar to internet, which people will be able to engage with different types of media like virtual reality, augmented reality, and much more
clinical0:50 ↗
Metaverse is not a specific technology or a specific space but a concept, a new concept of Internet, of communication and information delivery
clinical1:15 ↗
Internet is something you can browse, but metaverse is somewhere you can live in under special circumstances
clinical1:40 ↗
Metaverse is a highly interactive, three-dimensional world where you can have different experiences with your own created avatar
clinical1:55 ↗
A late 2021 survey of global internet users found that the biggest advantage of Metaverse is overcoming the obstacles that prevent us to do something in our real life
