Modernizing Healthcare

Abstract

Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies have advanced quickly, making them effective tools with the potential to revolutionize healthcare. By providing cutting-edge methods to enhance patient care, medical training, and education; augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) are transforming the healthcare sector. The patient's experience is being improved by these immersive technologies, which are also giving medical staff cutting-edge tools for training and skill improvement. The digital information is added to the real environment via augmented reality because medical imaging and visualization using this technology are progressing remarkably in the field of healthcare. Now 3D reconstructions of the patient's anatomy are available, surgeons can overlay them in their range of vision for improved guidance during difficult surgeries. This chapter intends to shed light on the bright future of AR and VR in the healthcare arena by examining cutting-edge use cases, technological breakthroughs, and their impact on patient care.
