Eight Applications of Virtual Reality Outside Gaming
Healthcare
Virtual Reality and simulation technology is being implemented in healthcare training and education such as those created by software companies Surgical Theatre and Conquer Mobile. These companies use diagnostic images from ultrasound or CAT scans to construct virtual 3D models of patients’ anatomy which enables surgeons to easily diagnose and locate tumors. VR simulations can also be used to treat conditions such as PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), in soldiers. Bravemind, is a virtual reality exposure program offered by Virtually Better to help patients recover from trauma or stress by gradually exposing them to stress stimuli. VR tech has the ability to transform the way healthcare is delivered by revolutionizing patient-focused care and integrating artificial intelligence, deep learning, big data analytics and bio-feedback.
