This paper describes the development of the prototype of an Augmented Reality based tele-consultation platform settled with a wearable video see through Head Mounted Display (HMD) with the aim to provide specialist consult to low specialist remote area without the need to move the patient. The platform prototype has the donning advantage that gives the user an immersive experience, moreover the video see through HMD allows for intrinsic coherence of the scenes shared between the users (the mentor and the proctored clinician). The platform has been preliminarily evaluated from a technical point of view and two different scenarios were identified for future clinical testing: ambulatorial (gynecologic) and surgical (orthopaedic).
