Looking to the near and distant future of medical technology, augmented reality (AR) will be central to innovation. The medical field will be enhanced dramatically via the rise of augmented reality products emerging in the market. In just a few years, the entire healthcare experience will look entirely different from the medical environment today. How so?
By overlapping valuable medical information with the real world – whether it be making visible patient information, mapping an individual’s body for surgery, or even venipuncture – AR can provide a hands-free, cost efficient/time-efficient approach for doctors to treat patients, teach medical students, and react quickly in emergency situations.
