Augmented Reality in Healthcare - Thematic Research
Summary
Augmented reality (AR) is a technology that allows the user to see the real world overlaid with digital data. According to GlobalData forecasts, the AR market will be worth $100 billion by 2030, up from $22 billion in 2022. Rather than enable entirely new processes, healthcare companies should use AR to improve existing processes. AR has uses in healthcare professional training, R&D, manufacturing, and sales and marketing. The COVID-19 pandemic pushed the healthcare industry to rapid digitalization. Emerging technologies such as AR and VR are becoming increasingly routine for professional training, surgical assistance, and treatment of psychological and neurological disorders. In the pharma and medical devices industries, AR, VR, and AI are rapidly accelerating drug discovery and manufacturing and generating supply chain efficiencies. However, affordability is a limiting factor to widespread adoption.
