Earlier this year, Apple released the Vision Pro mixed-reality headset. While the headset comes loaded with a plethora of productivity and entertainment apps, the headset can also be used by developers to create immersive applications that could transform medical education, surgical planning, behavioural health support, and more. Apple has highlighted some of the new healthcare apps for the Vision Pro.
Susan Prescott, Apple’s Vice President of Worldwide Developer Relations, expressed her excitement about the remarkable apps that healthcare developers are creating for the Apple Vision Pro.
“We’re thrilled to see the incredible apps that developers across the healthcare community are bringing to Apple Vision Pro,” said Susan Prescott, Apple’s VP of Worldwide Developer Relations. “The imagination and drive of our developers, combined with the technical capabilities of visionOS, are igniting new possibilities for physicians, frontline workers, and even students.”
One standout application is Stryker’s myMako app for orthopaedic surgeons. The app allows surgeons to visualise and review 3D surgical plans for joint replacement procedures using the Mako SmartRobotics system. The myMako app for Apple Vision Pro provides surgeons with intricate surgical plan details and insights in a dynamic and intuitive 3D-native way.
Boston Children’s Hospital has developed CyranoHealth, a virtual training environment that helps healthcare workers build confidence with medical equipment like infusion pumps. The app uses spatial computing to enhance learning and combat burnout by offering immersive and lifelike simulations.
Siemens Healthineers’ Cinematic Reality app renders interactive holograms of the human body from medical scans. The app provides people with photorealistic renderings of the human anatomy, and the Apple Vision Pro’s three-dimensional experience, flexibility, and standalone use make it ideal for clinical and educational purposes.
Cedars-Sinai has created the Xaia app for behavioural health, which provides AI-powered conversational mental health support and guided meditation in relaxing virtual environments. The Apple Vision Pro’s stunning display offers immersive and interactive behavioural health support, which is a significant improvement over previous technologies.
Other healthcare apps for the Vision Pro include Visage Ease VP for diagnostic imaging, TRIPP for stress reduction, and the Mindfulness app for calming environments. Epic Systems is also developing a concept that allows clinicians to review patient records and communicate using intuitive gestures and voice control.
Dr. Sumbul Desai, Apple’s Vice President of Health, believes that technology can play an important role in the evolution of healthcare. With the ability to transform a user’s space, display 3D objects at life size, and see all relevant data in one view, the opportunities for health developers to use Apple Vision Pro to improve procedural planning, education, and outcomes are limitless.
