Implemented in hospitals and medical schools across the country, the next generation of clinicians is learning how to use Augmented and Virtual reality to complement their skills.

As costs for technologies drop and at-home solutions see an uptick, clinicians are asking the questions necessary to implement AR/VR regimens for educating, diagnosing, and treating patients.

Healthcare payers have been reluctant to embrace the benefits and opportunities digital health has to offer for patients, but new digital players are disrupting the industry at a rapid pace to keep up with the adoption rate in this era under COVID-19. No one imagined that telehealth was going to be needed as quickly, and part of the reason of the delays in telehealth were centered around payment but COVID-19 pushed the limits on this and brought it forward to open the doors for all payers to respond and offer it to the masses at an affordable unbiased rate.
