December 2017CIOAPPLICATIONS.COM8or the past 3 years, health system innovation centers have been buzzing with ideas on how to adopt the rapidly evolving world of augmented reality (AR) into current workflows. At the intersection of people, processes, and technology, there are boundless opportunities to project real time information into a clinician's field of vision providing both instant recall and encyclopedic knowledge of their patient's condition. WellStar's Center for Health Transformation took a deep look at several cases for AR in the hospital setting. In collaboration with technology partners such as Georgia Tech Research Institute, we evaluated several practical use cases, built working prototypes, and offered them to physicians and nurses to test in simulated work environments. One example of our AR experiments was the creation of an application that continuously projects the vital signs from the anesthesiologists monitors onto the surgeon's field of vision through a Google HOW WILL HEALTHCARE FINALLY EMBRACE AUGMENTED REALITY?STEVEN FRAIME, DIRECTOR, WELLSTAR HEALTH SYSTEMFIN MYVIEWSteven Fraime
