The healthcare sector is arguably the most impactful frontier for Extended Reality technology, moving beyond novelty headsets to become a fundamental surgical and educational tool. This report details the 2025?2030 trajectory of XR, where Mixed Reality is now being used to overlay 3D patient anatomy directly onto the operating field, providing surgeons with X-ray vision that increases precision in complex neurosurgery. We analyze the shift in medical education, where VR-based simulations allow residents to practice rare or high-stakes procedures in a risk-free environment. The narrative also explores the expansion of XR into patient-facing therapy, particularly in behavioral health and chronic pain management. From a commercial perspective, the report investigates the integration of XR with 5G and edge computing, enabling remote telementoring. By 2030, XR will be an inseparable part of the digital operating room, serving as the primary interface for patient data visualization and real-time clinical decision support.
