Hospitals and Healthcare

There are many challenges facing hospitals and healthcare in the modern world we are living in. I've created this curation collection to save articles that help me understand what modern health in society is.  The articles here are general in nature and placed here to promote discussion. We advise that you talk with your health professional before changing any of your medication or treatment options.  Any of the online courses listed here may (or may not) be open for access or enrolment. Most are free to browse, some may charge a small fee if you wish to receive a certificate or record of learning.   Every effort is made to ensure that these links are up to date and be aware that some of these articles may be behind a 'paywall'. If you can’t get into an article, email me and I may be able to assist.  Views are my own.

Schools and Colleges Try Virtual Reality Science Labs. But Can VR Replace a Cadaver?

Schools and Colleges Try Virtual Reality Science Labs. But Can VR Replace a Cadaver? | Hospitals and Healthcare | Scoop.it
From www.edsurge.com - February 13, 2020 4:01 PM
When Case Western Reserve University launches a new health education campus with the Cleveland Clinic next year, one feature will be conspicuously absent. There will be no place for cadavers.

The school plans to replace the usual anatomy labs with a new series of hands-on experiences, including a virtual-reality simulation.

The reason, says Mark Griswold, a professor at the medical school, is that running a cadaver lab is costly and difficult.

Virtual reality could expand therapy options in remote areas. By @Shiva_pedram_

Virtual reality could expand therapy options in remote areas. By @Shiva_pedram_ | Hospitals and Healthcare | Scoop.it
From theconversation.com - January 13, 2020 11:22 PM
In recent years, experts have focused on finding better ways to improve remotely delivered mental health care.

Now, virtual reality (VR) may pave the way for myriad new opportunities.

Using VR for remote therapy involves conducting “face-to-face” sessions in a virtual environment. This mode of treatment could make counselling more accessible to those living and working remotely.

My colleagues and I published a paper exploring VR’s potential in providing counselling for people in regional areas.

While face-to-face therapy remains the optimal treatment method, we discovered VR-based therapy was more effective than Skype-based counselling.
