In 2026, the Virtual Medicine Conference will not only focus on advancing the science of medical extended reality (MXR), we are also expanding its scope to include the full spectrum of digital health innovation that is shaping modern health systems!
We are hosting a poster session on Day 2 of the conference (Thursday, March 26th, 2026) to showcase the world’s best research in digital health innovation. We invite abstract submissions from innovators across clinical care, research, technology, policy, and industry. Please submit an abstract below to be considered for the poster session. Posters should present fresh insights, actionable strategies, and evidence-based impact that advance and redefine the future of healthcare.
