The profound changes brought about by technology in the past few decades are leading to a total revolution in medicine. The advanced technologies of telepresence and virtual reality are but two of the manifestations emerging from our new information age; now all of medicine can be empowered because of this digital technology. The leading edge is on the digital battlefield, where an entire new concept in military medicine is evolving. Using remote sensors, intelligent systems, telepresence surgery and virtual reality surgical simulations, combat casualty care is prepared for the 21st century.
过去几十年里,技术带来的深刻变革正引领医学领域的一场全面革命。远程呈现和虚拟现实等先进技术不过是我们新信息时代涌现出的两种表现形式;如今,借助这种数字技术,整个医学领域都能得到助力。前沿阵地就在数字战场,军事医学领域正在形成全新的概念。通过使用远程传感器、智能系统、远程呈现手术和虚拟现实手术模拟,为21世纪的战斗伤员救治做好了准备。
