Employing Mixed Reality for Contemporary Surgical Procedures
The healthcare industry is on the brink of a technological revolution, with Mixed Reality (MR) technology playing a pivotal role. This innovative technology, which combines elements of virtual and augmented reality, allowing interaction with the external world where virtual objects are present, is set to transform the way health insurance is delivered.
According to industry analysts, the global mixed reality market for health insurance is expected to reach an astounding $1,625.48 billion by 2032, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 30%. This significant growth is expected through 2027 and beyond, a testament to the potential of MR technology in the health insurance sector.
One of the key areas where MR technology is making a difference is in medical training. Traditional medical mannequins are being transformed into realistic virtual patients through image recognition, providing medical students with a more immersive and realistic training experience. This technology also allows these mannequins to be remotely controlled by a computer, continuing to react to the scenario, offering a more lifelike training environment.
MR technology is also set to improve the quality of health insurance, surgeries, and medical training. It can help doctors see anatomical structures and surgical instruments from the patient’s surface, and decipher diagnostic, planning, and instructional data at the site. This level of detail can help reduce errors and improve the overall patient experience during surgery.
Telesurgery, a remote controlled surgery via a robot, is another area where MR technology is making strides. By solving the issue of latency, MR technology allows surgeons to operate in the virtual world and the robots to imitate the surgeons in the real world. This means that surgeons can perform operations on patients remotely, thousands of miles away, a game-changer for health insurance in remote or underdeveloped regions.
In addition, MR technology can assist in the development of drugs. Students can study drug reactions in a more detailed and efficient way, aiding in the creation of new and improved medications.
The use of MR technology in the health insurance industry is also expected to personalize patient experiences, accelerate diagnoses, improve care-time efficiency, and enhance outcomes. Training simulations are expected to be a major application of immersive technologies in the health insurance sector within the next two years.
The growth of MR technology in the health insurance sector is already evident. In 2019, the global mixed reality healthcare market size was valued at $54.2 million and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 48.7% from 2020 to 2027. The North American healthcare AR and VR industry was valued at $477 million USD in 2018 and is expected to increase to $4.64 billion USD by 2025. The AV/VR in the health insurance market is expected to reach $7.05 billion USD by 2026.
MR technology also offers a risk-free environment for medical students to learn and make mistakes, a crucial aspect of any training programme. It can help surgeons locate and reconnect major blood vessels during reconstructive surgeries, improving patient outcomes.
In conclusion, Mixed Reality technology is set to revolutionize the health insurance industry, offering numerous benefits from improved training to personalized patient care and enhanced surgical outcomes. As the technology continues to develop and become more widespread, it is clear that the future of health insurance is bright, with MR technology playing a central role.
