Digital Health

Augmented Reality (AR) has been remaking many fields, and medicine is no exception. By overlaying the digital onto the physical world, AR improves the user’s experience of the environment, resulting in rich, immersive experiences. AR applications have taken off in medicine, helping with diagnostic imaging, patient consultation, and even surgery. These enable healthcare workers to visualize complex data and bring it into clinical contexts in real-time, changing the delivery and experience of care.
One of the places where AR has proved particularly promising is in medical training, primarily in training surgeons. Surgeon training has long been based on abstract concepts, actual procedures, and the practice of surgery on corpses. However, AR can close the distance between understanding and practical application by allowing learners to learn more accurately and realistically than ever. Through immersive 3D models and simulations, AR offers a virtual reality training ground that builds anatomical knowledge and procedural competence for medical trainees to simulate methods safely and effectively before they’re on actual patients.
