According to Markets and Markets, the augmented reality (AR) market is projected to grow from $15.3 billion in 2020 to $77 billion by 2025, proving that the technology will play a huge role in shaping society in the future. Healthcare is just one example of how AR is changing the world for the better.



Accuvein
A scanner using AR, which shines through human skin, shows veins on the surface, thereby helping doctors avoid mistakes. The scanner also helps in training medical staff and daily patient care, reducing the number of errors in performing procedures (installing drips, catheters, administering medications intravenously and taking tests).



Augmedics XVision
Augmedics XVision is a surgical guidance system that allows the b2b email list surgeon to view a three-dimensional anatomical model of the patient's spine.

The Augmedics xvision system uses a special transparent headset and 3D anatomical models to help surgeons achieve the best control during surgery. The system accurately determines the position of surgical instruments and overlays them on CT images.

Computed tomography (CT) is a modern method of radiological diagnostics that allows you to obtain a layer-by-layer image of any area of a person with a slice thickness of 0.5 to 10 mm, assess the condition of the organs and tissues under study, the localization and prevalence of the pathological process. The computed tomography was invented in 1972 in the USA for neurosurgical research, since then the range of its application has expanded significantly.
