One day, could augmented reality save your life?

At this year’s WebSummit, one of the world’s largest technology conferences, Dr. Atul Gupta – Chief Medical Officer for Image Guided Therapy at Philips, and a practicing interventional radiologist – took the audience with him on a journey into today’s and tomorrow’s healthcare. 

Atul spoke about how AR could revolutionize healthcare. How it will give doctors new ways to see inside our body and treat us more precisely than ever before, even from halfway across the world. He also revealed how it might one day help nurses to predict the warning signs of a medical emergency with just one glance.

Atul: “At Philips we’re committed to improving the lives of 2.5 billion people per year by 2030, and that includes 400 million people in underserved communities. Technologies like AR, and other exciting developments such as artificial intelligence, cloud and robotics, will help to ensure that when you need care, you have timely access to that care – the best care – no matter where you live.”
