Presentation Abstract:

IVRHA is a member driven organization comprised of entities throughout the healthcare ecosystem, including technology companies, teaching hospitals and universities. The organization also includes healthcare providers and insurance companies. IVRHA’s mission is to facilitate and support the growth of the virtual reality and healthcare simulation industries as this new computing platform impacts healthcare practitioners and patients around the world.

Decades of research shows that virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) technologies can address the most difficult problems in healthcare. Ranging from mood disorders such as anxiety and depression to post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), addiction, autism, cognitive aging, as well as neuro and physical rehabilitation.

VR/AR technology will continue to have impact by enabling objective clinical assessments as well as providing for improved skill training and procedure planning. Personal health and wellness can also be improved by using immersive systems to promote better nutrition, engender healthier lifestyles and reduce personal stress and anxiety. Further, as the cost of healthcare rises, VR and AR can serve as an effective telemedicine platform to reduce the costs of care delivery and improve clinical efficiency in both urban and rural settings.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Learn about the mission and vision of the IVRHA.
  2. Consider how Virtual Reality innovations will improve healthcare education and training.
  3. Review the latest research associated with virtual reality in medicine and healthcare.
