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

Heidelberg University Hospital teams up with Sphere across 3 hospitals to combat violence against children

Heidelberg University Hospital, a major medical center in Germany, sought to improve the diagnosis of child violence victims by connecting on-site doctors with remote forensic specialists. Their primary challenge was navigating Germany's stringent data protection laws to securely share highly sensitive medical information. They partnered with Sphere to implement its extended reality (XR) platform as a telemedicine solution.

Sphere provided an easy-to-use and extremely stable XR platform that seamlessly integrated into the hospital's workflow, using RealWear headsets to facilitate remote collaboration without intimidating young patients. The solution successfully addressed the strict data security requirements, allowing the hospital to team up with three partner hospitals initially. The project is now scaling to add more medical centers, with plans for widespread adoption across various medical examinations. The team at Heidelberg University Hospital praised Sphere as a valuable and responsive partner, highlighting the platform's adaptability and the successful collaboration.
