Integration of Augmented Reality (AR) in Healthcare Systems
Abstract
As healthcare systems globally embrace technological innovation, the integration of Augmented Reality (AR) emerges as a transformative force with the potential to revolutionize patient care, professional training, and overall healthcare performance. The main objective of this study was to investigate the use of augmented reality in healthcare settings, exploring its potential for improving patient care, medical training, and surgical procedures. This study was anchored on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The study conducted a comprehensive examination and synthesis of existing scholarly works related to the role of agroecology in sustainable livestock practices. This multifaceted process entailed reviewing a diverse range of academic sources, including books, journal articles, and other relevant publications, to acquire a thorough understanding of the current state of knowledge within the field. Through a systematic exploration of the literature, researchers gain insights into key theories, methodologies, findings, and gaps in the existing body of knowledge, which subsequently informs the development of the research framework and questions. The exploration of Augmented Reality (AR) integration in healthcare systems highlights its transformative potential with positive impacts on surgical precision, professional training, and patient engagement. However, challenges like data security, usability issues, and ethical considerations underscore the need for cautious implementation. The observed heterogeneity in study designs calls for refined evaluation metrics and contextual understanding. The study significantly contributes to theoretical understanding by applying the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and addressing ethical dimensions, shedding light on privacy concerns. In policy realms, it informs the development of guidelines and regulations, offering insights into potential barriers and emphasizing cultural and contextual considerations for responsible AR integration into diverse healthcare systems. Overall, the study's contributions bridge theoretical gaps and provide practical guidance for policy formulation in the evolving landscape of AR integration in healthcare.
