Description

Trust is vital in healthcare, yet underserved communities often lack culturally responsive tools. Dr. Patrick Thomas and Steven Christian show how XR—from surgical walkthroughs to AR comics—bridges the trust gap by making medical information clear, relatable, and empowering. Real-world case studies demonstrate impact across hospital and community settings.
