Cisco Explores Health Care Holograms

Holograms have been used, for some time, to aid medical and nursing students in learning medical procedures and studying anatomical structures (see HN February 2022). And now, tech giant Cisco has redeployed its Webex platform to further the use of holograms for medical applications.

For the past 20 years, Cisco has equipped health care organisations with a broad range of technologies, from networking equipment to collaboration software and digital security. The company is now hoping that it can power healthcare services of the future – with holograms.

Last year, Cisco unveiled Webex Hologram ¹, a service that brings augmented reality to its collaboration platform. Now, say the tech giant, it is working with medical professionals to find the right use cases for its hologram technology, hoping that the industry is ready to embrace more immersive experiences.
