Virtual Reality & The Uber of Medical Care

Technology is all around us today, making possible things we
never even imagined. Here's two: an app that is the Uber of
medical care, and Virtual Reality that  makes it possible to
train employees to work in a chemical plants or recreate the
battle of Okinawa. Perhaps an equally surprising fact about these
innovations is that they are being created here in south
Louisiana.


Vashon Craft is Director of Community Relations at a company
called Ready Responders, a New Orleans-based startup that
expanded into the Baton Rouge market in 2019, bringing with it
its unique service of on-demand health care to your door – or
wherever you are. 


Ready Responders dispatches medics on-demand to provide
non-emergency medical care—then offers follow up care with nurses
and physicians assistants. It’s all done via a smart phone app
using software the company developed.  


Cody Louviere is the founder of King Crow Studios, a local
software development firm that specializes in virtual reality and
video game development. Virtual Reality isn’t just a gimmick;
it’s a tool that King Crow is using to create training
experiences and platforms for customers that include LED
FastStart, ExxonMobil, The Department of Defense, and The
Alliance Safety Council.
