Abstract

A prediction of the size of the global healthcare industry in 2020 is to pass over 50 times larger than simulation and gaming industry. For the size AR and VR application markets is to reach $US 35 billion in 2025. Simulation, gaming, AR, and VR technologies have provided great benefits to healthcare providers and consumers. For medical professionals, activity-based medical simulation mimicking clinical scenarios has been a cornerstone of medical training since the eighteenth century. Today, medical computing simulation and gaming enhance training scenarios and experiences. It also increases confidence and reduces skeptical among medical professionals about the technologies’ usefulness and effectiveness. This article focuses on the needs of patients and healthcare professionals in developing countries where the caregivers have been overwhelming with medical services provided to outpatients. Advancement in medical research and innovation generated tremendous health information required by caregivers to provide accurate, effective, and swift treatment and cure for patients. Traditional health information systems and user interfaces do not provide effective display, search, retrieve, and record patient information. Applying simulation and gaming technology techniques and methods can create effective healthcare systems and applications to better serve outpatients. This creates a large research and economic opportunity for the computer simulation and gaming industry.
