A number of propositions, that takes off in the TOE-framework as well as the Need-Pull and Technology-Push theory, were formulated in order to determine these factors. Through interviews with three respondents from the industry, with diverse backgrounds and experiences, the propositions are evaluated and the factors discussed. The study finds that there is potential for Augmented Reality to be introduced and that among others, one should pay close attention to the structure of the Swedish Health Care System as well as key individuals within this structure.
