Global association for Holomedicine
The Holomedicine Association is an international organisation comprising expertise such as clinicians, scientists, doctors, technical specialists, policymakers, and industry partners who are engaged in active research and development of Holomedicine which enables them to share best practices. It is the first global industry association for Holomedicine, created to illustrate innovation in the field of digital health and to help shape the debate around digital transformation. The association works to build new methods for delivering mixed reality (MR) and extended reality (XR) technologies in medicine and surgery, whilst setting standards for safety, promoting harmonised public policies, addressing privacy concerns, creating funding streams, and supporting the development of medical and scientific evidence. The association is responsible for outlining existing policies and guidelines and creating new ones.
On November 27, 2021, the association held its inaugural global summit gathering speakers from Asia, Australia, Europe, and North America. The association also establishes funding channels to receive sponsorships from industry partners or people interested in investing. There are two possible streams of funding, directed funding, where sponsors can invest money into specific, ongoing projects, or undirected funding, where the association receives the funding and channels this into projects.
