While the use of augmented reality (AR) in healthcare is still in its early stages, the potential for expansion is enormous.
AR technology allows healthcare professionals to see detailed and interactive visualizations of human anatomy that can be placed in the actual surgical field. The integration of AR in healthcare is set to revolutionize the industry, delivering unparalleled precision, efficiency, and safety in medical procedures, says GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company.
According to GlobalData, AR technology is estimated to register a cumulative annual growth rate (CAGR) of 36 percent from 2023 to 2033, demonstrating the growing use and effect of AR in medicine to improve surgical precision, training and patient outcomes.
The use of AR in surgeries has been associated with lower complications and better patient outcomes. AR reduces intraoperative errors and improves patient safety by giving surgeons a greater grasp of the surgical location and associated dangers. More precise and less intrusive techniques can contribute to a better postoperative recovery.
Elia Garcia, medical analyst at GlobalData, says, “The rapid growth underscores the transformative power of AR technologies, enhancing everything from surgical planning and execution to medical training and patient engagement." As company continue "pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, the healthcare sector is on the brink of significant advancements. These developments promise to improve patient outcomes and streamline medical practices, marking a new era in healthcare.”
