Fair enough on the multi users front, didn’t consider that.
That said, this does look like a great QoL for surgery, theres people with personal portable ultrasound probes in the same price bracket (a much more questionable choice tbh, bringing in personal diagnostic equipment is asking for trouble), can totally see a surgeon buying this for personal use.
Multi users is a known pain in the ass with VisionOS 1.x. A lot of the device gets calibrated to the wearer’s eyes, and without proper multi account support, switching is a pain in the butt. Which is why there is a janky guest user mode.
I think it’s still cheaper if they’re at retail prices. I’m sure Apple has a way to sell the exact same thing as a medical device instead and they’re tens of thousands for each.
Except that they only allow one account right now, and you’d need one for each surgeon.
And even purchasing for each surgeon is really not a big problem, you have disposable items that cost more sometimes.
If you think the American insurance markup on ibuprofen is laughable, wait until you see the bill for the Apple Microfiber Polishing Cloth.

You could simply have an OR account, could preload all scheduled notes and bobs your uncle, its also viable as a personal purchase.
