Not only can augmented reality and virtual reality help patients better understand their condition, but the technologies can help train residents in different approaches to surgery, says Tristan van Doormaal, a neurosurgeon at UMC Utrecht in the Netherlands.

Dr. Robert Louis, director at Hoag, and Danielle Collins, chief experience officer at EMPOWER360, discuss how virtual reality technology can bridge the gap between the knowledge of the patient and the knowledge of physician.

Microsoft Chief Medical Officer Simon Kos says health systems are still stuck in the 20th century so the software giant is focusing its efforts on AI, population health, public cloud, precision medicine, virtual services and more.
