Schools: Technology Award; Building Bridges Recognition – Huntington Now


Speech Synthesis

 

Three St. Anthony’s students have been named regional winners in the Toshiba ExploraVision competition.

The competition identifies students who “have the ability to look 20 years into the future and predict necessary changes in technology.”  The team is made up of Christina Ward, Elyse Wos and Emma Ronai, who are all freshmen.

Their project was described as “The new system, VirtuX will revolutionize the field of pain management. Using innovative new technology, it will use virtual reality to enhance the effectiveness of pain management and reduce opioid use. To do this, VirtuX uses virtual reality technology as an interactive distraction in order to reduce the pain of a patient. It uses four different categories of simulations for this. The categories include Game, Meditation, Hypnosis, and Experience, all of which work differently to distract the patient from their pain. VirtuX records highly accurate data in order to tailor the user’s experience to them, so that it can best manage their pain. Surveys concerning the patients pain will also be given before and after using VirtuX to further understand the patients needs. This system can be used in a myriad of situations, though it was specifically designed for at-home use, as it is portable, and has an easy-to-use interface.”
