Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Robotics, and 3D

Printing are significantly transforming the medical field, enhancing various aspects of
healthcare from diagnostics and treatment to training and patient care.

Virtual Reality (VR)

VR technology is being used to create immersive environments that can aid in medical
training, patient therapy, and surgical planning. For example, VR tools like Microsoft
HoloLens and Google Glass are used for neurosurgical training, providing a multifunctional
head-mounted display (HMD) that simulates complex procedures. Additionally, VR is used to
visualize medical images and models, allowing clinicians to better understand and plan
surgeries by viewing 3D representations of patient anatomy in a virtual environment.3

Augmented Reality (AR)

AR enhances the physical world by overlaying digital information, which is particularly useful
in medical imaging and surgical navigation. AR tools can project 2D medical images into a 3D
format, helping surgeons navigate during procedures. For instance, VOSTARS (video and
optical see-through AR surgical systems) and devices like Dextroscope and Surgical Theatre
are used for preoperative planning and intraoperative guidance, improving the accuracy and
efficiency of surgeries.3

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

AI is revolutionizing healthcare by enabling more accurate diagnostics, personalized


treatment plans, and efficient data management. AI algorithms can analyze large datasets
to identify patterns and predict outcomes, aiding in early disease detection and personalized
medicine. In neurosurgery, AI is used to process and interpret medical images, enhancing the
precision of surgical planning and intraoperative decision-making .

Robotics

Robotic systems are increasingly being used in surgical procedures, offering greater precision
and control. Robotic-assisted surgery, such as the da Vinci Surgical System, allows surgeons
to perform minimally invasive procedures with enhanced dexterity and visualization.
Robotics is also advancing in areas like oesophago-gastric cancer surgery, where it can
improve surgical outcomes and reduce recovery times .

3D Printing

3D printing is being used to create patient-specific models and surgical guides, which can be
crucial for complex procedures. For example, 3D-printed models of patient anatomy are
used for surgical planning, allowing surgeons to practice and refine their techniques before
the actual surgery. Additionally, 3D printing is used to create custom implants and
prosthetics, improving patient outcomes and reducing the need for multiple surgeries.
