Mixed reality (MR) merges real and virtual elements to create interactive environments. Workforce shortages, rising training needs, patient engagement gaps, and the shift toward decentralized care are driving demand for immersive technologies in healthcare. By blending virtual and augmented reality, MR enables learners to practice complex clinical scenarios, manipulate anatomical models, and collaborate with peers or mentors in shared spaces.

This analysis examines MR platforms in medical training and education across anatomy, obstetrics, neonatal care, and surgical training. It covers spatial computing platforms, AI-driven MR software, and head-mounted display (HMD)-based solutions, focusing on real-world implementations, emerging use cases, and integration into medical education.

• How is MR training creating new opportunities and supporting sustainability by reducing reliance on cadavers, faculty travel, and consumables?
• With MR set to evolve as a green learning approach within the medical education landscape, what steps can your team take to optimize your growth strategies?
• What impact is mixed reality having on medical education through life-like simulations, remote collaboration, and real-time anatomical visualization?
• How can you identify the leading innovators and gain a competitive edge over them?
