Description

Table #1:  Getting Beyond the Pilot to Make XR Work in Real Healthcare

  • Leader:  José FERRER COSTA, Research & Innovation
  • Many XR healthcare pilots show promise but fail to survive routine clinical practice. This roundtable focuses on what actually allows immersive tools to be used by real professionals with real patients: workflow fit, responsibility, safety and long-term adoption. Join clinicians and developers discussing how XR moves from impressive demo to everyday care.

Table #3:  Getting Beyond the Pilot: Integrating new heath education curricula into health professions schools.

  • Robin White Owen, MediaCombo
  • Roundtable on defining strategies and optimal features, and locating resources required to move from successful pilots to longitudinal programs. Participants will bring their experiences, problems and questions to our discussion.
