Abstract

Allowing physicians to incorporate data visualisation into healthcare treatment will allow for more efficient and cost effective treatment. This will have a knock-on effect of allowing medical professionals to attend to more patients, causing a decrease in patient mortality rates.
This study will be aiming to examine to what extent augmented reality devices can be used to allow physicians to incorporate data visualisation to improve healthcare. This will be done by examining how the following criteria are effected:
● Patient outcome
● Work efficiency
● Cost
● Training time
● Training quality
Because such devices can speed up the rate at which a physician works, this will doubtlessly save lives as shown by the fact that at least 4519 patients died waiting for medical care in 2020-21 alone in the UK. This figure does not include those on waiting lists, only deaths while waiting in A&E. Information relating to this study will be gathered through the use of research articles as well as interviews with people working in the medical field and people working on developing the technologies that this study is investigating.
