How AR is revolutionizing healthcare - and how it could one day save your life

Augmented reality (AR) isn't just transforming gaming. It's also primed to revolutionize healthcare. What if your doctor could see inside your body and treat you more precisely than ever before, even from halfway across the world? What if your nurse could predict the warning signs of a medical emergency with just one glance? And what if AR could help you save a stranger's life, or even help a stranger save yours? Dr. Atul Gupta - Chief Medical Officer Image Guide Therapy at Philips, and a practicing interventional radiologist - takes you with him into the future of healthcare at #WebSummit 2022.
