Virtual Reality in Healthcare by Steve Grubbs

Virtual Reality: Definition Virtual Reality: Immersed into a realistic, but artificial environment that is capable of having interaction. Might include 360 video or graphically created environments. Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, Samsung Gear VR

Augmented Reality A combination of artificial elements overlaid into a real environment, providing the ability to interact with these elements in the same experience. Microsoft Hololens Phone-based apps (Pokemon Go)

The Problems Virtual Reality Can Solve Medical errors Medical device training on virtual humans Tech and nurse training in surgical simulations (Penn State & UC Davis) Patient management training Pain Management During procedures some are beginning to use VR to transport the patient to another place, providing a secondary tool for pain management.

Let’s Pause for a Demonstration..

What the Research Says A 2016 test in China reinforced virtual reality’s effectiveness: Passing rate for the groups that engaged with the subject matter in VR was 90 percent Pass rate for the non-VR group - studying the same material - was 40 percent. In 2006, Journal of Cases on Information Technology showed students using VR increased their mean test scores by 14 percent.
