The Triana Group announces the completion of a proprietary feasibility study of Augmented Reality Applications in the Healthcare Sector.
Within this sector, the study focuses on the long -term rehab equipment and solutions that are being rolled out to the 95,000 physical therapy offices and rehab centers, 5,600+ hospitals, 80,000 nursing homes and long-term care, as well as patients’ homes. While still fragmented, these segments targeted by augmented reality innovators are experiencing favorable changes via mergers & acquisitions, new reimbursement models such as bundled payments and population health management, and integration of new information technology.
The study’s methodology is primarily based on interviews with users and buyers, benchmarking of 12 short-listed solutions providers based on publicly available and proprietary sources, and analysis of relevant corporations and organizations (including discussions with clinicians, healthcare management, insurance, reimbursement, regulatory, clinical studies, sales.)
The Triana Group study’s insights have informed our clients at the CEO-level and board level about market potential, competitive positioning, revenue projections, go-to-market options, and strategic development opportunities in the United States healthcare market.
