Case Study: Heidelberg University Hospital enhances child violence examinations with Sphere

Connecting Specialists With On-site Doctors to Combat Violence Against Children

Heidelberg University Hospital sought to combat violence against children by connecting on-site doctors with remote forensic specialists for expert consultations. Their primary obstacle was adhering to Germany's stringent data protection laws while securely transmitting highly sensitive medical data. To tackle this challenge, the hospital partnered with Sphere to implement its XR platform.

By deploying Sphere's easy-to-use and extremely stable platform on RealWear headsets, the hospital created a secure telemedicine system for remote examinations. The Sphere solution was tailored to meet their strict data security requirements and proved so intuitive that untrained staff could use it seamlessly in high-stress environments. The initial success with three partner hospitals has paved the way for a significant scale-up of the operation, with plans to onboard many more medical centers across Germany and beyond, positioning Sphere as a key partner in the hospital's future growth.
