Usability Evaluation of a Mixed Reality Platform in Pediatric Interventional Cardiology by Specialist Physicians: Mixed Methods Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Immersive technologies such as virtual reality, augmented reality, and mixed reality are used in pediatric interventional cardiology (IC) to improve anatomical visualization and spatial understanding and support procedural precision. These technologies offer 3D representations of complex cardiac structures, which can aid in preprocedural planning, intraoperative navigation, and team communication. As these technologies gain traction in IC, understanding how medical specialists perceive their value is vital.

Objective

This study assesses what IC specialist physicians consider valuable in immersive technologies by evaluating their experiences with CardioVision, a software designed for pediatric IC procedures.

Methods

A mixed methods design was used, combining
