The Growing Value of XR in Healthcare in the UK - Report Launch

Join us on May 18th 9:30am for the launch of The Growing Value of XR in Healthcare in the UK Report, the first report of its kind to explore the use of extended reality (XR) including AR and VR in the UK’s healthcare sector today.

The report highlights the changing face of healthcare technologies, with AR and VR revolutionising the global healthcare market, demonstrating impact, value and efficiencies in new ways, accelerated by the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.
