AI-Enabled Augmented Reality in the Medical Industry: Revolutionize User Experience
This proposed work aims to explore how Augmented Reality (AR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) can revolutionize the experience of individuals struggling with Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), a unique mental health condition characterized by a distorted view of their appearance. Research indicates that a significant percentage of individuals with BDD who undergo plastic surgery are dissatisfied with their results. By integrating AR and AI technologies, this project seeks to develop innovative therapeutic interventions that can provide realistic visualizations and personalized feedback. These technologies can help individuals understand their perceptions and promote healthier self-images without resorting to surgical procedures. Additionally, the project will investigate the potential of AI-driven cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) tools to offer customized treatment plans. Through user-centric design and collaboration with mental health professionals, the project aims to create a holistic approach that not only addresses the visual aspects of BDD but also tackles the underlying cognitive distortions. Ultimately, this research could pave the way for more effective and non-invasive treatment options, significantly improving the quality of life for those affected by BDD.
