- Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) have greatly improved cardiac preoperative planning, though there's a lack of a comprehensive mixed reality application for use in team meetings.
- A new multi-user, multi-device mixed reality application was developed and validated through technical tests, preclinical evaluations by cardiology experts, and clinical assessments on five patients comparing VR measurements with traditional CT scans.
- Results showed that the application achieved precise measurements with a median error of 0.69 mm and was user-friendly, but further research is required to confirm its broader effectiveness and impact on patient care.
Thanks to its non-invasive nature and high-resolution imaging capabilities, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a valuable diagnostic tool for pediatric patients. However, the fear and anxiety experienced by young children during MRI scans often result in suboptimal image quality and the need for sedation/anesthesia. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a smartphone application called COSMO@home to prepare children for MRI scans to reduce the need for sedation or general anesthesia.

Summary Answer: A mobile preconception lifestyle programme was systematically developed based on expert opinion, literature and needs of IVF-patients.
What Is Known Already: A healthy lifestyle prior to conception is not only beneficial for the general health of couples, but evidence on its importance for their reproductive health and the health of their children is also emerging.
The aims of the 'Mobile-based lifestyle intervention in women with glucose intolerance after gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM)' study (MELINDA) are: (1) to evaluate the prevalence and risk factors of glucose intolerance after a recent history of GDM; and (2) to evaluate the efficacy and feasibility of a telephone- and mobile-based lifestyle intervention in women with glucose intolerance after GDM. This is a Belgian multicenter randomized controlled trial (RCT) in seven hospitals with the aim of recruiting 236 women. Women in the intervention group will receive a blended program, based on one face-to-face education session and further follow-up through a mobile application and monthly telephone advice.
