Healthcare is very physical in nature — doctors need to examine patients, patients go to labs for test results, and the human body is always involved. Perhaps the healthcare system we know today can be transformed into truly virtual care. — A Whole New World AR/VR technology is used for patient engagement, psychological relief and treatment to improve physical conditions, body mapping, and data visualization. AR/VR technology combined with RPM creates completely virtual care, where the physician can examine the patient remotely while still capable of viewing the patient’s movement and progress.
