The Grand Award and Smart Healthcare Gold Award of Smart Living Award was presented to ACE VR Ltd. for its “Evaluation of Visual Disability in a Virtual Reality Environment”, which constructed virtual reality (VR) environments in a VR headset simulating day-to-day activities to visualise and quantify visual disability. Their data support VR simulations which empower clinicians to better understand a patient’s perspective of what and how daily activities impart disability and connect clinical test results of vision to performance measures that are relevant to patients. The innovation of VR simulations of activities are relevant to patients’ real-world experience which provide a new paradigm to measure visual disability for enhancement of clinical care, facilitating clinicians to devise appropriate treatment, support and visual aids to improve patients’ quality of vision and life.
