- Abstract
Background: The advent of Augmented Reality opens-up new horizons for the promotion of m-Health. Augmented Reality refers to the technology in which images of virtual objects and/or other digital information are superimposed over the real time view of the physical objects providing a composite view with guides for carrying out a task with or on the physical objects. Objective: The purpose of this review was to provide a comprehensive overview of these innovational technologies integration. Material and Methods: This study is a review, the state of the art. We applied MeSH Terms such as: Augmented Reality, Telemedicine and Medicine by Boolean operators in databases including: IEEE Xplore, ISI-web of science, Pub Med, Scopus, Science Direct and Google Scholar from 2020 to the present. The obtained articles synthesized in accordance with the study goal. Results: We reviewed the literature and found that several horizons in m-health can be supported by augmented reality such as: diagnosis and treatment of disease, medication adherence applications, health care management applications, medical education, primary health care and public health services, rehabilitation and palliative care applications, health games and finally simulation of surgeries. Conclusion: As the results showed, the integration of augmented reality and mhealth makes appropriate opportunities for improvement in precision medicine and health promotion. Therefore, the development of this hybrid technology requires the comprehensive attention of health policymakers and digital health business developers.
