The Hard Part of XR Adoption: Evidence, Workflow, and Trust

Immersive technology has moved well beyond the demo stage. Inside the Veterans Health Administration, Dr. Anne Lord Bailey and her team are working on the harder question: how do you make emerging technology usable, trusted, and sustainable inside real clinical environments?

In this fireside chat, Lisa Ann Pinkerton speaks with Dr. Bailey about what it takes to move immersive technology from promising pilots into everyday care. The conversation will explore where health care is in the adoption curve, why clinicians need evidence and workflow fit more than novelty, how artificial intelligence-enabled extended reality may shape personalized care, and what builders need to understand before trying to sell into complex health systems.
