REVOLUTIONIZING HEALTHCARE THROUGH AUGMENTED REALITY INTEGRATION IN MEDICAL TRAINING

Abstract

Through the transformation of conventional anatomy education techniques, the incorporation of augmented reality (AR) into medical training is revolutionising healthcare education. This creative method uses augmented reality (AR) tools, such as Microsoft® HoloLens II, to improve anatomy lab courses and give students a more engaging and dynamic learning environment. Medical schools can simplify anatomy instruction by using holograms to replicate human dissection. This allows students to study intricate anatomical structures in a step-by-step three-dimensional presentation. In addition to optimising the amount of time spent on dissection, this move towards AR-based learning creates new opportunities for remote and independent learning that meet the needs and preferences of a wide range of learners. Furthermore, the challenges that traditional cadaver-based anatomy instruction faces are addressed by integrating AR into medical education. AR offers a thorough and captivating learning environment because it can present anatomical material in different sequences, from superficial to deep structures, or by creating functional body units. Clinical correlations can be easily incorporated into lessons to improve students' comprehension and memorization of anatomy. The future of augmented reality (AR) in medical education appears bright, with potential breakthroughs in pathology, histology, and surgical applications, despite obstacles like realism constraints and technological complexity.
