Real-World Medicine Revealed in Real Time
Illumination for Every Experience
Augmented Reality Training for Medical Devices
Health care organizations are challenged to find better ways to treat, train, educate, and engage, and interactive digital media is playing an increasing role in the innovations that are helping providers and patients alike improve outcomes. Augmented reality offers unique value to healthcare organizations and individual patients by leveraging a real-world viewpoint and enriching it with interactive digital multimedia that matches the needs of that moment. Biological realities once hidden under the skin of patients can be revealed in real time to help patients, medical students, and providers alike better understand various conditions and potential treatment approaches. Patient information can be tied to facial or other real-world patient recognition functions so that clinicians can tap into all available electronic health records by merely directing their camera view from their smartphone or tablet. Therapeutic approaches like stretching and exercises can be directed via interactive AR apps. Ultimately, especially as AR glasses become more available, AR will be used to train clinicians on specific medical procedures and equipment using real tools on virtual patients, and may even be used to provide important medical information in real time to help guide treatments and procedures. The possibilities for AR in healthcare are endless.

Augmented reality combines the best of both worlds by taking the view from a user’s mobile device and enhancing it with interactive multimedia and information, making the environment come alive with greater detail and engagement. Augmented reality can be used for everything from training and education to shopping, maintenance, design, and more. Augmented reality applications allow their users to see possibilities in real time, providing a concrete image to reinforce their imaginations. Augmented reality can also be used to recognize objects in the user’s field of view and provide the information they need to use, maintain, and service them, whether as individual consumers or as a part of a larger maintenance workforce. By layering visuals and information in the exact environment in which they can be leveraged, augmented reality illuminates and guides real world experiences to enhance people’s capabilities and deepen their understanding of what is and can be around them.
