XR in Healthcare - Immersive Therapy, Education and More

This report provides a comprehensive outlook and analysis of extended reality technologies - including Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR) and Mixed Reality (MR) - and how they are used to improve the healthcare industry. It explores different scenarios, solutions and new approaches that could have a big impact on healthcare.

Extended Reality in Healthcare

Extended reality (XR) is one of the key technologies shaping up the future of healthcare. The utilization of XR in the industry is already showing signs that it can diminish costs, increase access, and improve outcomes for individuals around the globe.

The intermingling of academic research patterns moves by major corporations as well as several startups, and mainstream acknowledgement of the innovations exhibit that a future where healthcare is formed by XR is inescapable. However, regardless of whether your company will profit from these progressions is far from being unavoidable.

Most notably, XR will drive a realignment of the current convictions about where healthcare happens, who gives the care, and who profits from it. As healthcare reaches out of the hospital and the doctor's office and into individuals' homes, the outskirts of businesses will be broken down as entertainment, wellness, med-tech, social media, and hardware organizations all vying for a piece of the healthcare pie.

On the other hand, XR will also serve as an important learning tool, replacing plastic bodies and other equipment students use to learn human anatomy and even how to perform certain surgeries.

Patients too will get to benefit from the technology, with - for instance - doctors, pharma and other companies providing them with immersive content about their conditions.

Furthermore, other use cases in the healthcare space have also popped up in recent years.

This report explores how XR technologies are reshaping - or at very least improving - the healthcare industry.

Who should you buy this report?

Pharma

You probably already know Big Pharma is investing millions in digital health technologies. After all, it is easier and more affordable to launch a digital therapeutic than develop a brand new drug with all the lab work and trials, let alone regulatory requirements, that come included with a brand new drug launch.

Payors

Digital health apps and services provide insurance companies and other payors with tools they could offer to their customers so they could lead healthier lives. As a result, payors get to save money and offer better, more personalized services - i.e. the more you walk every day, the lower premium you end up paying. Ultimately, such incentives also lead to better outcomes.

Software Developers

The growth of digital health saw many non-traditional players entering the space - software developers being one of them. They see there's money to be made by helping doctors and hospitals digitize their businesses while providing patients with that much better services. This help software developers find their niches in the market and even potential partners.

Job Seekers

Digital health is the industry every job seeker should try to break into. It is growing fast, offering huge opportunities for everyone looking for a great career. The best part is that you don't have to be a software developer - there are job openings across the board, including in marketing, sales, social media, PR, admin, and more.

The report will help other parties, including (but not limited to):

• Investors in (digital) healthcare or those looking to enter the space
• Contract Research Organizations (CROs)
• Healthcare business analysts
• Savvy physicians looking to familiarize themselves with modern technologies
• Government-employed healthcare professionals
• The NGO sector involved in the healthcare space
• Anyone else looking to advance their career by being ahead of the curve
