The “last 10 feet of healthcare”: students step into patients’ shoes in hands-on workshop, use extended reality and AI to solve common problems

When a patient leaves a hospital – prescriptions in hand and instructions fresh in mind – they cross an invisible threshold. It’s only a few steps, but in those “last 10 feet,” the controlled world of healthcare meets the unpredictable realities of everyday life. It’s here, in this overlooked space, that even the best medical plans can falter. At UGA’s recent Healthcare 5.0 conference, students from across disciplines were challenged to rethink…
