On February 11, 2025, Vihaan and Helen presented the Mixed Reality Simulator Neonatal Needle Thoracentesis Procedures at the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Fair. The event was hosted in the Illini Union to encourage the Illinois undergraduate population to involve themselves in research. They met many incredible individuals who stopped by to learn more about HXRI’s impact to medicine and education through mixed reality technologies. Neonatal procedures are particularly delicate and error-prone in nature, especially compared to adult and even pediatric procedures. Invasive neonatal procedures do not occur at a rate sufficient enough to allow for adequate skill retention and provide proper training to physicians. Vihaan and Helen have been developing a prototype for the needle thoracentesis (NT) procedure in a mixed-reality environment. The guided simulator allows learners to go at a desired pace and allows for flexibility to learn visually, audibly, or both.
