Chapter: Health

1. Introduction

Shaping the Future of Healthcare through XR – together

The Health Chapter is the XRBB e.V. initiative to build a fully functional XR ecosystem in the healthcare sector.
Our mission: to bring immersive technologies like Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) into clinical training, therapy, diagnostics, and medical research – in close collaboration with experts from medicine, technology, research, policy, and industry.

While our core region is Berlin-Brandenburg, we actively engage with partners across Germany and Europe. Our approach is collaborative, impact-driven, and future-oriented.

2. Why XR in Healthcare?

High Innovation Potential with Societal Impact

XR technologies can significantly improve healthcare delivery:

  • realistic surgical training and simulation

  • new forms of therapy for physical and mental health

  • improved diagnostics and patient-provider communication

  • more efficient workflows in clinical settings

However, the challenges are real:

  • complex regulations

  • slow funding cycles

  • limited access to clinical partners

The Chapter Health is here to address exactly these gaps.
