Abstract
Virtual Reality (VR) is a powerful method to treat and enhance physical and emotional health and to expedite learning. Virtual reality in healthcare is projected to grow rapidly in the coming years becoming a $30+ billion USD market by 2030.
Our speakers will guide us through Virtual Reality’s capability to affect individual health and well being in meaningful and long lasting ways. We’ll explore VR as a non-pharmacological solution to treat stress, anxiety, phobias, PTSD, delirium and manage pain, and its use to train healthcare professionals and caregivers.
