AR/VR’s Potential in Health Care

Augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) technologies are rapidly redefining health care—from personalized surgical planning and chronic pain relief to mental health treatment and medical education. This report outlines how immersive tech can alleviate provider burnout, enhance patient outcomes, and expand access to care, especially in underserved and rural areas. It also highlights emerging use cases, including VR-based therapy for PTSD, AI-integrated diagnostics, and digital twins for customized treatment. However, adoption hurdles remain, including high costs, complex FDA regulations, and the need for stronger privacy protections.
