How can AR be successfully implemented in healthcare?

由人工智能和领英社区提供技术支持

Augmented reality (AR) is a technology that overlays digital information, such as images, videos, or texts, on the real-world environment. AR can enhance the perception and interaction of users with their surroundings, and offer various benefits for healthcare applications. In this article, we will explore how AR can be successfully implemented in healthcare, and what are some of the challenges and opportunities involved.

1 AR use cases in healthcare

AR can be used for various purposes in healthcare, such as education, training, diagnosis, treatment, and patient engagement. For example, AR can help medical students and professionals learn anatomy, physiology, and procedures by visualizing the human body and organs in 3D. AR can also assist doctors and surgeons in performing complex operations by providing real-time guidance, feedback, and information. Moreover, AR can improve the diagnosis and treatment of patients by enabling remote consultation, data visualization, and personalized therapy. Additionally, AR can enhance the patient experience and satisfaction by providing interactive education, entertainment, and support.

AR has pretty amazing use in the healthcare sector. One best implementations is healthcare education (both at the academic level and for the patients). It is being widely used to simplify studying human anatomy, surgical procedures, imaging, and more at intricate levels. Imagine, if a healthcare trainee could first see in AR a surgical procedure as if it was happening right before them. Such implementations play a pivotal role in healthcare training. Besides, they are proving handy in guiding doctors in the operation theatres and during clinical trials.

2 AR implementation challenges

Despite the potential benefits of AR, there are also some challenges that need to be addressed before AR can be widely adopted in healthcare. Some of the main challenges are technical, ethical, and regulatory. Technical challenges include ensuring the accuracy, reliability, and security of AR devices and data, as well as integrating them with existing systems and standards. Ethical challenges include respecting the privacy, consent, and autonomy of patients and professionals, as well as ensuring the quality, safety, and accountability of AR services. Regulatory challenges include complying with the laws, policies, and guidelines that govern the use of AR in healthcare, as well as developing new ones that reflect the emerging needs and risks.

3 AR implementation strategies

To overcome the challenges and maximize the benefits of AR in healthcare, some strategies can be followed. These include involving the stakeholders, designing for the users, testing and evaluating the outcomes, and adapting to the changes. Involving the stakeholders means engaging the patients, professionals, and organizations that will use or be affected by AR in healthcare, and understanding their needs, preferences, and expectations. Designing for the users means creating AR solutions that are user-friendly, accessible, and useful, and that match the goals, tasks, and contexts of the users. Testing and evaluating the outcomes means measuring the performance, impact, and value of AR in healthcare, and collecting feedback and data to improve the quality and effectiveness of AR solutions. Adapting to the changes means updating and upgrading the AR devices and data, as well as the skills and knowledge of the users, to keep up with the evolving technology and healthcare environment.

When implementing AR the consideration of complexity of details has to be considered. The user has to have an understanding of the task at had and the expert has to understand from the users perspective.

4 AR implementation examples

There are already some examples of successful AR implementation in healthcare, both in research and practice. For instance, Microsoft HoloLens is a wearable AR device that has been used for various healthcare applications, such as anatomy education, surgical guidance, and patient care. Another example is AccuVein, a handheld AR device that projects a map of the veins on the skin, making it easier to locate and access them for blood draw or injection. A third example is EyeDecide, an AR app that simulates eye conditions and diseases, and helps patients and doctors to understand and manage them.
