How can digital twinning and XR technologies better prepare healthcare workers for disasters such as cyberattacks or future pandemics?

Daniel Hickey uses extended reality (XR) technologies to bring both “futuristic and historical contexts to life”.

Hickey is a software engineer at South East Technological University’s Walton Institute, and his current research focuses on augmented and virtual reality for healthcare applications.

He says that sharing his research “not only sparks meaningful dialogue in the academic community” but also helps to “demystify XR and digital twin technologies”.

“I aim to show the tangible, real-world benefits of these technologies, whether that is improving healthcare training or facilitating better decision-making in the planning and design of complex infrastructure.”
