What is medical virtual reality?

Medical Virtual Reality (VR) refers to the use of immersive, computer-generated environments to simulate real-life medical scenarios for training, therapy, diagnosis, or patient education. It allows medical professionals and students to practice procedures, enhance skills, and experience clinical situations without risk to real patients. Additionally, patients can benefit from VR for pain management, physical rehabilitation, and coping with anxiety or phobias. The technology is becoming more widespread as it provides safe, controlled, and repeatable experiences that improve outcomes and learning.
