augmented reality, health sciences, literature review, search algorithm, databaseAbstract
The inclusion of augmented reality (AR) technology worldwide has been crucial for the development of many sectors, its accessibility and availability is fundamental for technological evolution. This paper presents a literature review about AR in health sciences, its main contributions and advances in the field of study. In this sense, to investigate the attention of the scientific community to this topic, three search algorithms were used through the Scopus database using keywords and years from history to the present. The search was limited to review, research and conference articles. The results show that during the last few years there has been a profound interest on the part of the research community to inquire about AR in the health sciences.
