The Future of XR in Health

Here’s a post on Forbes on the fast-changing field of mixed reality and immersive media in Health.

An important report launched in the UK outlines the opportunities of using XR in Health. XR refers to Extended Reality and covers Augmented Reality (AR), Mixed Reality (MR) and Virtual Reality (VR), haptics, interfaces, platforms, and software and is often referred to as immersive technologies. 

There’s additional importance attached to this report because it was carried out in partnership with the NHS. It gives us plenty of insight into what the future of a technology-enabled NHS healthcare system could look like and sketches out ways in which immersive technologies could help drive a more effective service not to mention, a more financially efficient one.
