Augmented Reality in Medical Devices - Thematic Research

Summary

Imagine wearing a pair of glasses with the computing power of a smartphone, activated by voice, which recognizes what the user sees, where the user is, and the context in which the user is operating. While such a world is several years away from reality, first-mover advantage in AR technology is a prize that is so valued that every large technology company is making significant investments in it today.

AR is already widely used in the healthcare space to train medical students and doctors but could have applications across several healthcare dimensions. In the medical devices sector, the technology is in its infancy but has been identified as an important technology for the future by several tech leaders. AR may have the greatest impact in aiding visualization during minimally invasive surgery (MIS).
