Healthcare organizations, physicians, and governments are working towards deployment of Virtual Reality (VR)

Steadily, one can observe that, Healthcare organizations, physicians, and governments are working towards deployment of VR as they recognize the effectiveness of VR in healthcare. Recent developments include: Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) approval of MindMaze’s VR rehabilitation platform, Kortex’s stress and sleep management VR platform and EyeSync eye movement tracking system using VR.
“Non-medical therapeutic applications which usually don’t require strict regulations compared to medical therapies are growing in the consumer segment too. VR applications such as smoke cessation, sleep management, stress management, and memory improvement for the elderly are increasingly used by consumers for their general health.” according to Khin Sandi Lynn, industry analyst at ABI Research.
