Key Benefits and Future of AR Remote Assistance in Healthcare


Augmented Reality has many use cases across various industry sectors and the thriving healthcare sector is no exception! It has a wide scope and excellent future in this heavily regulated sector. AR-based mobile apps and augmented reality remote assistance solutions are some of the emerging applications of AR technology in the healthcare industry. 

Augmented reality or AR apps overlay virtual interfaces on real-world scenes in real-time. Simply put, AR technology is about bringing virtual images into our real world. Usually, AR-based apps or remote assistance solutions need device motion tracking, advanced camera, advanced scene processing, and display capabilities of 2D and 3D objects as an AR environment. 

Augmented Reality in Healthcare- Multiple Roles to Play

The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic has compelled healthcare service providers to integrate technological advancements into their existing systems. Be it a telemedicine concept or facilitating patients to make online appointments, emerging technologies like AI, AR, and IoT make it possible for healthcare organizations. 

Talking about augmented reality, it has the potential to become more mainstream in near future because of its life-changing value for patients and physicians alike. The technology has already been used during interventional procedures like CT (Computerized Tomography) and MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging).

AR technology can be used for medical education and training as well. This advancing technology has limitless possibilities in the healthcare sector. An official report has expected that the global market for augmented and virtual reality in the healthcare sector is expected to reach around 7 billion USD by the year 2026 with a CAGR of around 28%. 

Let’s go through some of the top applications of AR remote assistance in the healthcare sector. 

Top Use Cases of AR in Healthcare

1. Collaboration between Doctors

A remote assistance solution based on AR assists doctors to establish collaboration with other doctors during surgeries or have an effective virtual meeting on any medical issue. The remote assistance app has a built-in video conferencing feature that enables specialists to communicate and collaborate easily even when they are located far away from the clinic. For example, the primary surgeon is thousands of miles away, but the specialist can follow the instructions of the surgeon through AR tools to perform a surgery.
