Growth Drivers
Substantial funding raised by the companies coupled with novel product introductions by key market players drives the medical holography market growth. For instance, in May 2019, Aestheia Imaging has launched XTHEIA, which is an interactive and advanced hologram display that is also equipped with a virtual consult assistant primarily meant for the waiting rooms at healthcare centers.
Aestheia Imaging has also offered an application for iPad that enables healthcare providers to remotely control the operations of the device while also offering photo of patients through in-app camera. Additionally, in June 2016, Meta Co. raised nearly $50 million for the development of augmented reality (AR) glasses that can also be used as holographic device in the healthcare sector. The healthcare providers such as doctors and surgeons can wear this AR driven glasses to clearly examine the organs of affected area of the body. This would assist the surgeons in their operating procedures while enabling them to advise the best possible treatment or medication to the patients.
