Mixed reality (MR) blends augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) by merging the actual world with digital elements (AR). This cutting-edge technology has enormous potential for the healthcare industry. Mixed reality continues to be a manageable force in the healthcare industry with a variety of applications, including reducing the use of cadavers in medical student training, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) engagement therapy for patients, and pre-operative visualisation of brain tumours by reviewing scans in-person using AR.
The awareness regarding the use of mixed reality technology is increasing. The applications of patient care are becoming well-known and thus, it has supported its adoption. Mixed reality has been used in the treatment of various neurological disorders including autism and improves verbal and non-verbal communication among patients. Such factors can potentially augment growth of the mixed reality in healthcare market. Recently, in March 2021, Gaumard Scientific Co. launched Obesteric MR for VICTORIA, a new mixed reality training solution to help learners archive clinical competency more efficiently.
