U.S. Augmented Reality And Virtual Reality In Healthcare Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Component (Hardware, Software, Services), By Technology Type (Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality), And Segment Forecasts, 2025 - 2030

Market Size & Trends

The U.S. augmented reality and virtual reality in healthcare market size was estimated at USD 1.03 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 15.4% from 2025 to 2030. Advancements in healthcare IT infrastructure and increased venture capital investment, fueled by numerous start-ups and government programs such as NIH and FDA initiatives, support AR/VR research. In addition, the declining cost of head-mounted devices, rising demand from telemedicine, chronic disease care, and minimally invasive surgery, and integration with AI and 5G technologies for enhanced real-time diagnostics and clinical training.

AR and VR are crucial innovations in immersive technology. AR enhances real-world perception by directly integrating digital information, such as sounds, images, or text, into our real-world viewpoint. This facilitates interactive experiences, allowing for the visualization of complex concepts within a tangible context. VR offers a comprehensive immersion, transporting users to a simulated environment. This allows for interaction within a digital space, offering an experience entirely distinct from the real world. These technologies are instrumental in advancing user engagement and understanding in various sectors.

Virtual reality is revolutionizing medical education by offering immersive and interactive experiences that enhance knowledge retention and furnish environments for training devoid of risks. For instance, in March of 2023, Dr. Kei Ouchi, an Associate Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and advisor of Jolly Good, collaborated with Brigham and Women's Hospital to create VR content designed for emergency care. Under the guidance and supervision of Dr. Ouchi, Jolly Good is expected to develop live-action VR content across various medical specialties, with a collaborative focus on evaluating its educational impact.

Similar to VR, AR is significantly transforming medical education. It allows students to examine anatomical structures and disease pathologies through an interactive, three-dimensional format. For instance, in June 2024, GE HealthCare and MediView XR successfully implemented the first-ever clinical use of the OmnifyXR Interventional Suite at a medical center in Minneapolis. This cutting-edge solution combines augmented reality with live imaging and 3D anatomical views, aiming to streamline radiology procedures and improve real-time collaboration.

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) with Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) is transforming healthcare by enabling more accurate diagnostics, immersive medical training, and enhanced surgical planning. AI powers real-time data interpretation in AR/VR platforms, improving clinical decision-making and personalization of treatment. This convergence is gaining traction in education and healthcare alike, as seen in cross-industry partnerships. For instance, in August 2023, EON Reality, Inc. partnered with Sandals Corporate University (SCU) to introduce Spatial AI technology, utilizing AI-powered XR solutions to enhance learning and information retention through immersive experiences.
