Virtual Reality - an effective tool for the Healthcare industry

Virtual reality (VR), the effective tool of today’s computer technology to create models and simulation that enables a professional to interact with an artificial three-dimensional (3-D) visual or another sensory environment. The health care industry, education, and architecture are some of the main areas that have already taken advantage of this technology. Virtual Reality is certainly an emerging technology for the health care industry and it has an enormous number of applications for health and healthcare. The health care industry employs virtual reality throughout its various divisions to offer a higher quality of care and efficiency to patients.

Key Applications of Virtual Reality in Healthcare

1. VR is used in the treatment of Autism, Asperger syndrome (AS), and other neurodevelopment disorder:
   VR helps ASD patients to be trained in a realistic environment that could be manipulated and adapted to the characteristics and capabilities of the subject. Wearable technologies in VR assist individuals with autism to develop their life skills that can lead to independent living.
2. VR in Treating Chronic Pain:
   VR plays an important role in assisting patients with chronic pain. It prevents the brain from processing pain and cure soreness in hospitalized patients.
3. Improved Surgeries:
   The most important element VR brings to the healthcare industry is the use of the 3D models. This allows surgeons to plan the operations effectively. Prior to any operation, surgeons need to get the most accurate three-dimensional images possible and they can use the most advanced versions of virtual reality glasses to interact in a three-dimensional space with the organ that requires surgical treatment, examines it from any desired angle, and able to switch between 3D view and the real CT images.
4. Efficiency of VR in Radiology:
   The advanced technology of VR allows the Radiologists to navigate inside of the patient’s blood vessels in 3D during operation.
5. Interactive Learning for Students:
   Virtual reality plays an important role in the education and training field. The use of Anatomy VR programs enables students to examine different parts of the body and observe how the body’s various organs and systems work together. By using VR effectively, students have more flexibility in how they can explore the body and can easily look at body parts from any angle.
