Apple Vision Pro in Healthcare: Surgeons Share Insights

On January 31, 2025, Sharp HealthCare hosted a summit attended by 300 doctors from 10 countries to discuss the applications of Apple Vision Pro in surgery. The event showcased how the device has been integrated into medical practices over the past year since its introduction.

Key Points:

• Price and Weight: Doctors find the $3,500 price tag and weight of the headset negligible compared to traditional $20,000 monitors and the discomfort caused by viewing them in an operating room.
• Applications: Apps have been developed for various surgical procedures, including ophthalmology, orthopedics, and cardiology, enhancing education and data presentation.
• User Experience: The learning curve is minimal, and the device becomes unnoticeable during surgery, improving patient outcomes and surgeon comfort.
• Future Prospects: While still in its early stages, Apple Vision Pro's adoption in healthcare is expected to grow as more innovative uses are discovered.

The summit highlights the significant potential of spatial computing in transforming surgical practices and enhancing medical education.
