A review of published literature revealed educational gaps in HCP comprehension of migraine pathophysiology and mechanism of action for approved and emerging therapies. To address those gaps through accredited education, the current initiative aimed to develop a mixed reality program to incorporate into satellite symposia and online courses. 

Dynamic, physiological processes underlying migraine and its treatment are often explained through static illustration or linear animation. A mixed reality device provides 360-degree interactive views of neural processes and does not obscure the user’s view. By superimposing holographic images into the real world, opportunities for shared learning experiences are created among peers and between instructor-student groups. 

The interaction built into a mixed reality experience is designed to foster a deeper expertise of disease processes, how they impact patient burden, and can be used to individualize treatment.
