WHY MIXED REALITY (MR) FOR HEALTHCARE?
Putting patients first in new ways
Transform healthcare training, deepen patient empathy and supercharge drug development with mixed reality. From optimising the manufacture of medicines to providing groundbreaking therapies, mixed reality empowers healthcare across the board.
Reduce risk
From surgery to firefighting to pilot training, simulate high-risk scenarios in a low-risk environment.
Better training outcomes
When people learn in MR, they're not distracted by other devices, so they stay super-engaged with the content.
Learn faster
MR is great for creating emotional connections. That means that lessons aren't just more realistic, they're more memorable.
Explore your data
Bring your data to life with 3D visualisations that help you understand your world and make better decisions.
Increasing patient safety
With 300 million surgical procedures carried out every year, along with 16 billion injections1, effective training is critical to reducing error rates, avoiding harm and minimising costs. Specialised simulation training in VR gives health practitioners a safe space to hone their skills, from practising new surgical techniques to complex drug assembly to everyday basics, such as taking blood.
Delivering equitable outcomes
It's a hard reality that race, gender and socioeconomic status can influence the level of care that patients receive2. Immersive learning in VR gives people a safe space to experience this for themselves, so they're better equipped to confront unconscious bias in the workplace.
Faster time to market
Drug development can take up to eight years and cost USDÂ 2B3, so anything that makes the process more efficient can give pharma companies a competitive edge. Collaborating on 3D models in VR can help scientists make faster breakthroughs, even if they're working in labs around the world.
Supporting well-being and retention
In a recent survey, 85% of C-suite executives said staffing challenges would have a major impact on their strategy4. VR apps are already helping to boost retention in major health institutions through employee wellness initiatives, with both the FDA and the NHS looking at evaluation frameworks to roll them out at scale.
