To alleviate the feelings of helplessness and uncertainty that patients often face when confronting amputation and prosthetic fitting, providing a visual preview of how the chosen prosthetic will integrate with the amputated limb during movement can significantly aid in selecting the most suitable prosthesis. Lixel Co., Ltd. has partnered with the Disability Rehabilitation Center at Taipei Veterans General Hospital to introduce globally innovative glasses-free 3D imaging and air interaction technology. This allows patients to naturally and easily view a three-dimensional prosthetic image combined with a simulated limb, projected onto the device’s surface. They can intuitively select and switch between different prosthetic types and materials in mid-air, visually combining them with the simulated amputated limb. This enables patients to preview and feel the appearance and functionality of the prosthetic post-installation, reducing feelings of helplessness and uncertainty, and allowing patients and their families to participate in the prosthetic selection process with greater confidence.
On August 2nd, during the Healthy Ageing Tech Show, Lixel and the Taipei Veterans General Hospital's Disability Rehabilitation Center jointly showcased the initial results of their collaboration. The innovative experience amazed attendees and attracted the presence of former Minister of Economic Affairs Wang Mei-hua, Executive Yuan Minister without Portfolio Chen Shih-chung, and Veterans Affairs Council Chairman Yen Teh-fa, who visited the exhibition. Lixel and the Taipei Veterans General Hospital will continue their collaboration to further refine this innovative service, benefiting more patients with disabilities.
The application of smart technology in an aging society holds vast potential. Lixel’s glasses-free 3D imaging and air interaction technology is set to bring a new level of convenience and life experience to the elderly, significantly enhancing their quality of life. This year's Healthy Ageing Tech Show presents a crucial opportunity for the public to witness the close integration of technology, elderly care, and disability medical services, creating greater societal well-being.
