Intravenous assistance and vein detection,AccuVein is a handheld scanner that leverages AR technology to make IV insertion far easier for everyone involved — especially patients. The device projects an overlay directly onto the patient’s arm to show vein pathways that nurses can mark accordingly.
It is already being used to visualize 3D models of the patient's anatomy, or to train resisdents.. however it is not commonly used in surgical routines since most systems currently are still not approved for medical use.
AR technology has the potential to revolutionize the way healthcare is delivered by improving patient outcomes, reducing medical errors, and providing better training and education for healthcare professionals. Nevertheless, it's essential to address these concerns (e.g., accuracy and reliability, cybersecurity, user training, integration with existing healthcare systems) and ensure that AR technology is developed, tested, and implemented in a safe and effective manner in healthcare settings. This may be achieved through proper regulation, user training, and continuous monitoring and evaluation of the technology.

Dear doctor
I chose the following paragraph from web and do hope satisfying answer.
"Augmented reality has tremendous potential in healthcare. With the use of technology, healthcare can be made more affordable and can increase outreach to millions of individuals. The technology has the potential to address health awareness, disease outbreak and preventions, diagnosis, medical equipment upkeep and training, treatment and therapy planning, patient monitoring, lifestyle improvement and patient care.
These technologies can be one day used for support and care of treatment of battlefield patients or even road rage incidents. First respondents on ground might help the patient in first few critical moments by performing HCP guided first-aid treatment, which can help save many lives.
The use of head mounted displays enables doctors to keep their eyes on patient with overlay of critical information like seeing images of ultrasound and other health monitoring parameters displayed on array of screens of multiple monitoring devices. In future it may enable to do away with the screens on individual devices and enable and integrated view of patient from the head mounted headgear.
With advancement in technology coupled with upcoming technologies like 5G, IoT and nano sensors, more and more opportunities are opening-up. With high-speed network, remote diagnosis and surgeries can penetrate to masses across globe."
