Request Summary: Extended reality (XR) in healthcare

Request Category: Researcher



 
Question Number 1:
Please see attached request on the following subject -

Extended Reality (XR) is a broad term encompassing various technologies that blend virtual and real environments. It includes Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and Mixed Reality (MR) which can be used for many purposes and conditions related to physical and mental health within healthcare. We recognise that increasingly the definition of XR is becoming more fluid - if you are utilising other interactive media within a therapeutic context that you believe sits on the edges of this definition, we invite you to also share those details.

We are aiming to collect information on your organisation's involvement with this technology for healthcare purposes only (physical or mental health uses or conditions) and collect information on specific products being used, researched, made or purchased by your organisation for healthcare purposes. See question 9 for a list of categories of use in this area.
 
Answer To Question 1:
91Ó°ÊÓ NHS Foundation Trust: The Trust currently does not using any XR products so the whole questionnaire is N/A.
