Together with Advanced Living Technologies as incubator and backed by a german family office we support the development of AR applications for healthcare.
Augmented Reality (AR) technology projects digital information onto the existing environment, thus enhancing the physical reality. AR can be seen as a mixture of virtual reality, imposed into real life. It usually works via the use of a range of sensors such as a camera, computer components or a display device.
AR is by no means a new concept, but over the last few years, advances in camera and sensor technology and AR-focused software research have made it practical. The positive effects that AR can bring to medicine can be groundbreaking and we are just seeing the beginning of what is to come from AR in the healthcare industry.
New AR innovations can help enhance doctors and surgeons ability to diagnose, treat, and perform surgery on their patients more accurately by giving them access to real-time data and patient information faster, and more precisely than ever before. Through the use of AR to assist in surgery, during the training of medical students, and even during regular doctor appointments, we will begin to see AR incorporated more into medicine throughout the coming years.
High tech advances have always improved outcomes in medicine and we will support the way for AR to evolve to be implemented into the daily routine of medicine.
