Virtual Reality And Health

— December 23, 2017

MindMaze offers VR treatment for stroke victims in the U.S.

Training

How VR training prepares surgeons to save infants’ lives

Virtual reality promises to be great for gamers, but it also has potential to change the world in other ways. Shauna Heller recognized that potential, so she quit her job at Oculus VR and became a consultant — working to bring non-VR applications to life. One of the projects she took on was to create a VR simulation that teaches doctors how to treat infants in emergencies.

Could VR make your next dentist visit less painful?

The VR groups either got to explore a beach or navigate a city. The people in the control group just stared at the ceiling while the dentist yanked on their teeth. (Everyone in the study got pain meds or sedation if they needed it.) Patients were surveyed both immediately after their appointments, and a week later. The people immersed in the coastal VR reported less stress and pain than both the patients navigating through the virtual cityscape and the ones with no distraction.
