Apple Vision Pro, which will offer doctors and patients new possibilities in areas such as immersive experiences, surgical planning, medical education, and mental health support, seems to contribute greatly to the healthcare industry with new health applications.
On the other hand, it is worth noting that Vision Pro is an innovative technology with the potential to transform healthcare. Doctors can see detailed human body views thanks to Vision Pro and its companion apps.
So how will Vision Pro benefit the healthcare industry?
Apple’s cutting-edge headset will allow surgeons to better plan and execute complex operations by creating 3D models and performing virtual procedures before surgery.
It will allow medical students and doctors to explore human anatomy in 3D and layered images, helping them improve their knowledge of anatomy and surgical skills.
It can also facilitate diagnosis and treatment by enabling primary care providers to review patients’ medical images in 3D and virtual environments to prevent diagnostic errors and delayed diagnoses.
Vision Pro can help clinicians review electronic health records (EHR) in 3D and better communicate with patients.
Another great thing that makes me say “no way” is that Vision Pro will support mental health patients in their spiritual healing by offering therapy and meditation through an AI-powered avatar.
Apple Vision Pro health apps
Here are the apps that will change healthcare in the future:
- MyMako from Stryker: This application helps surgeons meticulously plan complex surgeries, such as joint replacements. By creating 3D models of a patient’s anatomy and allowing surgeons to practice procedures within a virtual environment, MyMako facilitates detailed preparation. This can reduce surgical risks and potential complications, improving patient outcomes.
Vision Pro’s immersive experiences could offer significant benefits for both doctors and patients (image source) - CyranoHealth from Boston Children’s Hospital: CyranoHealth assists in training nurses and doctors on new medical equipment and procedures.
