Mixed Reality in Healthcare – The HoloLens Review

What if medical students could project bear-sized holographic brains in their dorm rooms when studying for an anatomy exam? What if surgeons could use those holograms to prepare for complex surgeries or even support the operations themselves? HoloLens appears to be the platform for the medical application of mixed reality, so I was curious how it performs and whether it is already fit for healthcare. Check out my HoloLens review below! An average day of Matt Woratzki in 2056 – Or how to imagine the future with HoloLens! At 6.30 in the morning, the smart sleep alarm smoothly indicated that it’s time to wake up. Matt was almost half-awake anyway. He got out of bed, had his morning smoothie (his GP told him to avoid coffee after his genetic test showed some risks for high blood pressure), dressed up and went for a morning run. The sensors in his active wear and the Fitbit on his wrist measured every vital sign and health data, the optimal run time and speed. After he got home, he realized that a couple of messages are buzzing on his HoloLens. Today, he had to prepare for a complicated brain surgery, and his colleague was already at the hospital waiting for his input. He sent over some MRI images, where a smart algorithm indicated the problematic areas for discussion. Matt didn’t want to check the messages in a hurry, so instead, he got into his Tesla, and looked at the images carefully while his car drove him to his workplace. HoloLens for work and playtime The colleague ...
