The reason for being selected for the CES 2026 Innovation Award (Digital Health category) was mainlythat it "significantly increased trust and understanding between doctors and patients.".
The industry calls itthe "Clinic of the Future,"and praised that patients' anxiety is reduced and participation is increased by experiencing their medical data in three dimensions.
In terms of technical completeness, the fact that it is an actual commercial solution that combines Barco's glasses-free 3D display released in Q4 2025 and FDA-approved software in 2026, making it immediately applicable to the field, also received high scores.
Market expectations are also quite high, with many hospitals already showing interest in the demonstration stage.
However, since it is an expensive professional equipment, initial adoption may be limited to tertiary general hospitals, and there are some concerns about the AR/VR bubble.
Overall,the positive evaluation that it is an "innovation that will change the landscape of medical communication"is dominant, and Avatar Medical has solidified its position in the global health tech scene through the CES award.
