Medical educators at the University of Maryland, Baltimore led by Dr. Cheri Hendrix and computer scientists at the University of Maryland, College Park led by Amitabh Varshney collaborate to teach physician assistants with the help of an immersive virtual reality tool called HoloCamera.The HaloCamera is a volumetric capture studio, which is the same technology used in virtual reality and augmented reality games and providing character modeling in movies. This revolutionary technology uses 300 cameras and AI-powered data to create lifelike 3D simulations, helping medical students and professionals experience patient care in an entirely new way. Watch as virtual patients come to life, allowing physician assistant students at the University of Maryland School of Graduate Studies, located in Baltimore, to see real-time anatomy and symptoms up close, and take control of their medical education like never before.#Halocamera #MedicalTraining #3DTech #AIinMedicine

- 2:40How Where You Live Impacts Diabetes Care | Breakthroughs Can't WaitWhat if your diabetes care plan was tailored to where you live and the resources you can actually access?Olohitare (Abby) Abaku, a Summer Research Student at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, is studying how geolocational data—like proximity to grocery stores, clinics, and community resources—affects diabetes outcomes.By connecting the University of Maryland Medical System Diabetes Registry with GPS Health data, Abby’s research explores how food deserts and limited healthcare access disproportionately impact underserved communities, especially low-income families and people of color. Her findings show that distance to healthy food options and care directly influences a patient’s ability to manage blood glucose levels and prevent complications.Abby’s goal: to help clinicians create personalized treatment plans that reflect the realities of each patient’s environment, while informing policies that build healthier, more equitable communities.👉 Learn how this research could transform diabetes care and why Breakthroughs Can’t Wait at https://www.umaryland.edu/breakthroughs#Diabetes #HealthEquity #MedicalResearch #FoodDeserts #SocialDeterminantsOfHealth #BreakthroughsCantWait
