The delegation was introduced to various state-of-the-art facilities, where they observed firsthand the application of advanced technologies such as virtual reality (VR), simulation systems, and artificial intelligence (AI) in engineering and industrial contexts.

One of the highlights of the visit was the demonstration of the immersive driving simulator, a sophisticated tool used for research in transportation safety and driver behavior analysis. The delegation members had the opportunity to experience the simulator themselves, gaining insights into how VR can be utilized to create realistic training environments and improve safety protocols.

The visit also included a detailed presentation on the current research projects underway at RIVRT, focusing on the integration of virtual manufacturing and AI in industry 4.0 applications. The delegation engaged in discussions with faculty members and researchers, exploring potential areas of collaboration between PolyU and the Garze Sichuan Bureau.

In another session, the delegation members explored the VR-based training modules developed for medical and industrial applications. These modules are designed to enhance skill development and training efficiency, providing a safe and controlled environment for learners to practice complex tasks.

The visit by the Garze Sichuan Bureau marks a significant step in strengthening ties between PolyU and Sichuan, promoting cross-regional collaboration in the fields of engineering and technology. RIVRT is committed to furthering these partnerships and contributing to the global advancement of research and innovation.

全新環節《5G直送》第一集去上海看看全國首間5G校園。有本地大學和醫院合作開發用來培訓實習醫生的VR抽血程式，及一套用於中風病人復康訓練的電腦程式。

創科導航 – TVB

本港醫療系統逼爆，一班醫護人員都想盡辦法利用科技，除提升病人的醫療體驗，
亦可以提高效率。醫管局昨舉行的研討大會上，醫護人員和研究員紛紛提出科技應用，
包括以虛擬實境（VR）幫助腦創傷病人康復和訓練醫生、利用手機App檢測癌症病人
體內殘餘輻射，以及在出院後助髖關節骨折長者在家做運動。

理大康復治療科學系副系主任文偉光，昨介紹訓練腦創傷病人認知等能力的VR遊戲；
他稱遊戲以日常生活為背景，例如要求病人尋找虛擬的家中物品、到商場購物，
或當餐廳侍應推介食品，藉此訓練前瞻式記憶，例如特定條件下才啟動的記憶和行動，
如晚上7時要食藥，遊戲能訓練執行力和解難能力；而VR遊戲令腦創傷病人腦部
感受到真實環境，做錯也不會遭斥責，可加強他們練習的意願，較傳統治療效果更佳。

癌患體內殘餘輻射 用App檢測

VR技術對於訓練醫生都有幫助。伊利沙伯醫院深切治療部副顧問醫生冼佳卓介紹，
醫院去年起運用VR系統，教導實習醫生正確的抽血程序。負責開發系統的理大
工業系統及工程學系專任導師鄧育明表示，VR能夠應用在多種訓練，如他們正開發
訓練醫生向病人講解醫療程序的系統，及模擬人體解剖的學習工具。

瑪麗醫院則開發了新檢測癌症病人體內殘餘輻射的方法，臨床腫瘤科高級物理學家
鄧年輝稱，其團隊研發出的手機App，可把檢測儀器置於房間牆上，並連接房外的
Wi-Fi儀器，當病人站在儀器1米外，職員就能在手機App收到輻射水平資料，若水平
合格則可列印標籤，不需待簽就可出院，減少職員風險和加快病床流轉。

大埔醫院一級物理治療師劉建明則稱，髖關節骨折在長者中很常見，他們出院後要
持續做復康運動才能真正痊癒。新界東醫院聯網團隊遂開發了手機App「髖健通」，
內有髖關節骨折的相關資料、不同復康運動的示範短片和照顧者提示，另又提供
復康日誌功能，供長者或家人按時治療，及讓治療師安排療程，讓病人出院後
都能有妥善照顧。

伊利沙伯醫院與理工大學合作研發虛擬實境技術，讓實習醫生戴着
VR眼鏡練習血型配對等程序，可以增加練習次數，並減輕兼顧培訓的
專科醫生壓力。

戴上VR眼鏡進入虛擬病房環境就可以練習，為病人抽血做血型配對。

伊利沙伯醫院與理工大學合作研發虛擬實境技術，並購入四套VR眼鏡，
在去年十月開始供實習醫生練習。

在傳統的訓練模式，一個專科醫生有時要帶着七、八個實習醫生做訓練，
每節培訓時間有限。有實習醫生稱，以往會擔心練習不足。

醫院指，配合新科技培訓，還可減輕專科醫生要兼顧培訓工作的壓力，
醫院正計劃在VR加入更多培訓項目。

VR的模擬培訓在現時的技術未能加入病人的反應，所以適合用來培訓
着重程序的工作，一些着重與病人溝通的訓練仍然需要用傳統方式進行。
