One in five school children are believed to suffer from ADHD. In the past 8 years alone, there has been a 42% increase in diagnoses of the disorder. Here we explore how immersive technology can play a role in identifying and treating the disorder. Furthermore we:

• Explore the rise of Virtual Reality

• Investigate ADHD as a disorder

• Endorse currently available VR education applications

• Transport

• Propose a new VR application designed to provide an alternative to high-risk medical treatments

Neither novelty value nor ‘cool factor’ will bring wearables to the fore. Instead, the data that this technology generates will drive market growth. Learn how data from wearables can transform healthcare, all whilst leading to the disruption of a number of other industries, including but not limited to:

• Retail

• Manufacturing

• Insurance

• Transport

• Entertainment

This free whitepaper will help you understand about the different enterprise apps. The highly researched whitepaper clears the dilemma of choosing between Commercial off the shelf options and Custom mobile solutions for your enterprise app based on the following factors:

VR, AR & MR have a future that transcends gaming – the use case most often associated with immersive tech. We are far more excited at the prospects this has for education and training.

In this design formula we address the emergency services, a sector where we think innovation in training with immersive tech could be invaluable, discuss what is already out there and then come up with our own suggestions for innovative products.

• Why VR to educate?

• What sectors are using VR in training?

• Types of immersive tech

• Emergency services training

We envisage that VR will influence a wide range of fields, from medicine to military, education to entertainment, health to homes… The list goes on.

This white paper deals in depth with VR’s offering, its varied application across diverse fields, its market potential, the factors that will drive its growth and the potential challenges along the way. Topics include:

• Drivers contributing to the growth of VR

• How do the numbers stack?

• Challenges for VR ahead

• The Way forward

We were interested in how the features and capabiltiies of Amazon Echo could be useful in the care of Alzheimer’s patients.

Our research into the disease suggests many may be able to benefit from a system that is always on-hand, can assist in multiple tasks and does not have a high interaction cost. This white paper outlines our findings in detail, along with ideas for future developments.

• How the Echo can help Alzheimer’s patients

• How it helps carers & family/friends

• The patient journey map

• Conversational UI advantages in Healthcare

At hedgehog lab, we believe that mobile has the potential to fundamentally alter the face of healthcare industry.

This whitepaper, produced through our insights as an app developer combined research, lays out the main reasons why technology is going to transform the healthcare industry. We will be exploring the key areas of development and highlighting the challenges that need to be overcome to make the most of the available opportunities by talking about:

• The Tech-ready Market
• Future Trends – The rise of health app development
• Wearables: beyond the novelty
• Big data and Analytics

How technology can help healthcare professionals treat young patients.

The idea of controlling and reducing children’s anxiety in a hospital setting is of great importance. Strategies to reduce their anxiety can have a significant impact on children’s experiences, the quality of care, and healthcare costs. This whitepaper explores the subject by looking at:

• On-screen gaming consoles with anaesthetic administration and monitoring systems

• Wearable displays

• Sensory Rover Distraction Units

• Creating an immersive experience through emotive images
