In Pediatrics, AR can be utilized in various ways to improve healthcare delivery, education, and patient experience. Some applications include:
- Medical Training: AR can aid in the training of pediatricians by providing immersive simulations of medical procedures and patient interactions. - Patient Education: AR can help explain medical conditions and treatments to young patients and their families in an engaging and easily understandable manner. - Pain Management: AR can be used as a distraction tool to reduce anxiety and pain during medical procedures such as vaccinations or blood draws. - Rehabilitation: AR applications can support physical and occupational therapy by creating interactive and motivating exercises for children recovering from injuries or surgeries.
