Futuristic AR In The Healthcare Industry

Technology has brought a massive yet welcome change to the healthcare industry. Patients can now access some of the best diagnostic tools, new and cutting-edge treatments, and a myriad of minimally-invasive procedures resulting in less pain and quicker healing.

Augmented reality is currently one of the most promising digital health technologies, as was the case with Pokémon Go, which helped in changing healthcare and everyday medicine completely for both- physicians and patients.

A recent projective study showed that by the 2023, a 23% boost can be achieved in the overall performance of surgeons who are trained using a simulator such as VirtaMed’s simulator, when compared to traditionally-trained surgeons. They could be faster and more precise while performing surgical procedures.

AR for the future of healthcare

AR differs from virtual reality (VR) since it does not create a 3D world where the users lose touch with reality, and it puts information into vision as fast as possible. These distinctive features will help AR to emerge as a driving force in the future of medicine.

During a minimally invasive surgery, the surgeon performs it typically by looking at a screen, with the patient in front of them and endoscopic cameras and instruments in their hands. The developed AR system can be used in pre-operative planning to improve the performances of a surgeon involved, by providing visual information, in a procedure such as laparoscopic surgery in order to accurately find both the right points to introduce the surgical instruments as well as the apt path to reach the organ concerned.

Augmented reality devices such as Hololens from Microsoft can project digital scenes on what we see and prepare doctors for difficult procedures

Often patients struggle to accurately describe their symptoms to their doctors. With apps like EyeDecide, doctors can use simulation to examine the vision of a patient suffering from a specific condition.
