Enabling Real-time Telehealth Collaboration with Augmented Reality
Telecollaboration in healthcare has improved access to care, enhanced patient outcomes through collaborative decision-making, reduced travel costs, and continued services during crises like the COVID-19 pandemic. Telecollaboration platforms, such as OpticSurg's Vision Beyond, utilize augmented reality (AR) glasses for real-time guidance from remote experts to on-site providers, enabling complex cases where specialized expertise is required but not readily available locally. These platforms also facilitate virtual training and simulation experiences for medical students or junior doctors, providing immersive learning environments that enhance collaborative learning experiences. The OpticSurg platform integrates with Agora's solution, ensuring HIPAA compliance, interoperability with Electronic Health Records (EHR), and reliable network infrastructure to support uninterrupted high-quality video consultations.
