Virtual Reality (VR) is deployed in four key medical and healthcare segments

For those who are unfamiliar, Virtual Reality (VR) is deployed in four key medical and healthcare segments: therapy, training, surgery related applications, and medical research.
Currently, therapeutic applications are the most commonly deployed and tend to focus on medical therapies that either require the supervision of therapist or physician, for example therapy for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or non-medical therapies that the don’t require professional supervision, for example, sleep management VR applications. 
Many healthcare facilities have trialed immersive VR simulations to treat patients with anxiety, PTSD, pain management, and neuro-recovery.
