Episode description

Healthcare is in the midst of a technological revolution. Just look at the past couple of years as telehealth, remote monitoring, and digital data access have taken patient care to previously unimagined levels. And now augmented reality (AR) promises to further transform the healthcare experience by making it possible to simulate diseases, visualize surgeries, and strengthen both diagnoses and treatment.

In this podcast, we dive into the promise of AR, and examine how deploying this interactive technology is a win-win-win for the healthcare industry. Specifically, we learn how AR helps put patients at ease by keeping them informed and empowered. We also hear how AR improves and streamlines physicians’ training. And we detail how AR guided surgery makes a huge difference for surgeons and physicians in the operating room. 

Join us as we explore these ideas with:
Shae Fetters, VP of Sales, Novarad
Dr. Michael Karsy, Assistant Professor, University of Utah
Christina Cardoza, Associate Editorial Director, insight.tech

Shae and Dr. Karsy answer our questions about

• Educating staff and patients on the use of AR technology
• Hardware and technology components of AR-guided surgery
• Partnerships enabling this technology in hospitals
• AR compared to traditional OR methods
• The future of AR in healthcare
• Additional opportunities for AR in the future
