Augmented reality (AR) is finding its way into the healthcare ecosystem and there\u2019s greater potential for it to be revolutionary, not just evolutionary.</p><p>In this episode of the Global Medical Device Podcast Jon Speer talks to Jennifer Esposito, Vice President and Managing Director of Magic Leap's Health business unit, about AR in healthcare, explaining what it is and is not, as well as how it compares and contrasts to virtual reality (VR), machine learning (ML), and artificial intelligence (AI).</p><h3><strong>Some of the highlights of this episode include:</strong></h3><ul><li>AR is a relatively new technology that some people don\u2019t quite understand how it is or can be used in healthcare today and in the future. It\u2019s important for people to try Magic Leap\u2019s AR device and platform to expand their thinking of use cases.</li><li>AR is not the same as VR and other technologies. VR is completely immersive and involves wearing a headset. You can\u2019t see the real world. All you\u2019re seeing is digital content. VR has advantages and limitations.</li><li>Magic Leap\u2019s AR headset device allows users to not only see the real world, but digital content can be overlayed on top of the real world while maintaining spatial awareness and sensibility.</li><li>Magic Leap isn\u2019t just about AR, but the convergence of other elements and capabilities, such as AI, 5G, and Internet of Things (IoT). AR is going to be the catalyst that generates additional new sources of data not currently captured.</li><li>AR is not replacing healthcare providers, doctors, nurses, and others. It augments the clinical workforce to present/provide insights that advance and enhance the practice and expertise of medicine when delivering care.</li></ul><h3><br></h3><h3><strong>Memorable quotes from Jennifer Esposito:</strong></h3><p><br></p><p><em>\u201cThere are places where the differences between those technologies is actually really important in terms of deciding which one you would use for a certain use case.\u201d</em></p><p><br></p><p><em>\u201cWhat we\u2019re doing isn\u2019t really just about AR. It is this convergence of these other capabilities.\u201d</em></p><p><br></p><p><em>\u201cAugmented reality is also going to be the catalyst to generate additional new sources of data that we don\u2019t currently have.\u201d</em></p><p><br></p><h3><strong>Links:</strong></h3><p><a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennifermesposito/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Jennifer Esposito on LinkedIn</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.magicleap.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Magic Leap: Augmented reality platform for Enterprise</a></p><p><a href=\"https://mdic.org/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Medical Device Innovation Consortium (MDIC)</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">FDA - Medical Devices</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.greenlight.guru/academy\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Greenlight Guru Academy</a></p><p><a href=\"https://virtual-summit.greenlight.guru/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">The Greenlight Guru True Quality Virtual Summit</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.greenlight.guru/podcast-mtqs\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">MedTech True Quality Stories Podcast</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYfQsPqHW8H8mZ4xpM4gn1Q\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Greenlight Guru YouTube Channel</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.greenlight.guru/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Greenlight Guru</a></p>","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/5de85281-5532-49b5-8966-0dcbc558c9ff/eca41ba0-e6ac-40c7-a025-293f7ac04f7d.png"}
