Both AR and VR has the talent to change for the better
health in the future, they just have different functions in it. In the case of
AR, the use of technology in the field of medicine and health is basically a
natural consequence of technological development and the booming data. A lot of
information, but also a very specific type of data has flooded the doctor for
years. Paper format changed to electronic health records (EHR), but remains
very static information flow so far. It must become more and more smoothly and
help the healing process.
Access to data and information processing technology that is
already at an advanced level, the next step is to bring life-saving information
that is significant, even into the field of vision doctor. For example, if
there is a complicated operation, there may be little time to check if the
patient has certain types of allergies. However, not only the data but also
other types of medical information, such as the location of a blood vessel or
organ may be projected into the environment help doctors do their job.
Operating augmented reality
Google Glass is the # 1 platform AR
One of the most popular platform for working out a solution
is Google Glass medical AR, with Rafael Grossmann performed the first surgery
was broadcast live in 2013. The wearable computer with a head-mounted display
optics made available to testers and developers in 2013. However, he failed to
catch on with mainstream broader market, in recent years, the old technology
take on a new function in health care.
However, there are many other innovative effort also aims to
bring AR to healthcare. I decided to compile a list with the most relevant
company to develop groundbreaking augmented reality solutions.
1) EyeDecide Orca Health
Orca Health is, the Utah-based innovative mobile software
company founded in 2010 to bridge the gap in health patient provider
relationship. EyeDecide is one of the medical applications of business, which
uses the camera display to simulate the impact of specific conditions on a
person's vision.
Using applications such as EyeDecide, doctors can show
patients the vision simulation. For example, the application can show the effects
of cataracts or AMD and thus help patients understand their actual medical
condition.
2) Brainpower
Massachusetts technology-based company, founded in 2013, has
focused on pioneering the application of neuroscience with the latest in
wearable technology, in particular, Google Glass.
The start-up of the brain build a science-driven software to
convert wearable device into neuro-aids to educational challenges of autism.
Their goal is to teach life skills to children and adults on the autism
spectrum. They developed a unique software suite, "Empowered Brain"
which aims to help children with their social skills, language, and positive
behavior. This software includes robust data collection and analytic tools
allow for customized feedback to the child.

3) Medsights Tech
Can you imagine that the view X-ray may be real? Medsights
Tech is working to make the miracle happen. The company is developing software
to test the feasibility of using AR to create an accurate 3-dimensional
reconstruction of the tumor. Technology reconstructs complex images are
basically empowers the surgeon with x-ray views - without the radiation
exposure in real time. It has also been tested for the other, such as the skin
and subcutaneous, head and neck, gastrointestinal, endocrine and other
retroperitoneal pathology.
4) AccuVein
Many people have a great fear of blood tests, especially because
they are afraid that a nurse or a phlebotomist could not find a vein at the
first, but it will be a long and torturous procedure.
AccuVein use AR technology to make both the nurse and the
patient's life easier. marketing specialist company, Vinny Luciano said 40% of
IV (intravenous injection) lost veins on the stick first, with numbers
deteriorated for children and parents. AccuVein using AR using a handheld
scanner that projects above the skin and show the nurses and doctors in which a
blood vessel in the patient's body.

5) HoloAnatomy with Microsoft HoloLens
Offers an amazing insight into the biology applications such
as the human organism, which landed first place for in-depth virtual reality
and augmented reality category during the competition in team
With Microsoft HoloLens VR Headset, app users can see everything
from the smallest blood vessels in the muscle before their eyes on a dynamic
holographic model. I believe it will revolutionize medical education, because
students will be able to see the human body in 3D rather than the usual working
methods: black and white pictures and descriptions written in the books.
6) EchoPixel: virtual reality Company
The company, which was founded in 2012 and is based in
Mountain View, California, to develop diagnostic, surgical planning and image
guided treatment applications. EchoPixel say that technology amplifies human
skills and improve both clinical efficacy and workflow.
True system uses a variety of current 3D medical image
dataset to enable radiologists, cardiologists, pediatric cardiologists, and
neuroradiologist specific interventions to view the patient's anatomy in 3D
space open. This highly innovative technology that allows physicians to
visualize the key clinical and assist in the planning of complex surgical,
diagnostic or medical education.
7) Augmedix
Destinations San Francisco-based company to harness the
power of Google Glass to create a more patient-centric health and reduce
administration.
As a result, the administrative burden on medical
professionals to subside: they can leave their place of work on time every day,
completing the administrative requirements with ease, while they are still able
to diagnose and treat more patients. Augmedix is a clear win for the
industry!

8) Atheer
The company is considered a pioneer of interactive Augmented
Reality (AIR) platform smart glass, which is designed to improve the
productivity not only in health but in many other industries as well.
Glasses AIR enables users to view important information
right at their job field-of-view and interact with it using the familiar movement,
voice commands, and motion tracking.
Augmented reality in health care
9) Aira
Name start-up founded in 2015, combines Artificial
Intelligence (AI), and ancient Egyptian mythological creature known as the Eye
of Ra (RA). Aira offers solutions for the visually impaired to create the
possibility to live more independently.
The team uses in-depth learning algorithm to describe the
environment for the user, the text read, recognize faces or tell about the
obstacles.
If you know about other companies detrimental to health
through augmented reality, please let me know; because there are many other
businesses out there - with too little information online. And if you want to
know about the top companies in other areas of medicine, check out my work at
the business on VR, my article about robotics firm or a piece of me about their
work with artificial intelligence!
