Complete Details

As healthcare enters the "Next Era," immersive technology is transforming how we train the next generation of clinicians. This expo, held at the iconic St. James' Park, showcases the intersection of Information Technology and Health. Attendees will experience the full spectrum of Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL), from augmented reality (AR) anatomy apps to fully immersive virtual reality (VR) surgical suites. The event brings together global tech giants and boutique simulation startups to demonstrate products that are making medical training more accessible and cost-effective. Beyond the exhibition floor, a series of "Lightning Talks" will feature case studies on the implementation of VR in nursing home settings and the use of haptic feedback in orthopedic training. This is a unique opportunity for procurement officers and clinical leads to test-drive equipment before making institutional investments. The expo emphasizes the importance of the ASPiH "Technical Standards," ensuring that new technologies are not just flashy, but educationally sound and robust enough for clinical environments. It is a day of discovery, networking, and hands-on experimentation designed to push the boundaries of what is possible in healthcare simulation.
