It’s not just the tech giants like Microsoft and Google who are leading the AR charge, either. Janus Health AR’s app is innovating the way dentists approach tooth modifications through 3D modeling. Mundipharma’s breatherite app measures asthma treatment. The Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital at Stanford is using AR in its Childhood Anxiety Reduction through Innovation and Technology (CHARIOT) program to help relax pediatric patients during uncomfortable and painful procedures.
Augmented reality can seem futuristic in a lot of ways. But while it’s still being developed and improved, each day this emerging technology becomes an even bigger part of our lives.
AR is just in its infancy. For medical professionals, the possibilities of incorporating augmented reality into their practice are endless. As more technological solutions are introduced and the widespread applications for AR further expand, doctors and surgeons will see change happen right in front of their eyes. And the patient will ultimately receive better care.
