Application of 3D multi-user software tools in digital medicine – a scoping review

Abstract

Nowadays, the amount of information to be processed in specialized fields of medicine is increasing day by day, and the time allocated for processing is constantly decreasing. Despite the fact that real-time multi-user software is now very popular in some domains of medicine, like radiology, the real potential provided by this technology has not yet been exploited. A scoping review was performed to identify key clinical areas where large-scale information processing presents a usability challenge. In digital pathology, similarly to robot-assisted surgery, the use of multi-user software is a key issue, as it can revolutionize the flow of decision making, the education of medical students, and the consultation between doctor and patient and doctor and doctor as well. The aim of our paper is to give the reader a useful overview of the current level of the adaption of real-time multi-user software tools in two prominent subfields of medicine, digital pathology and robot-assisted surgery.
